Rip To The Tip 2011
Baja Bound Mexico Insurance was proud to be a sponsor of the 2011 Monster Energy Rip To The Tip presented by General Tire. For the first two days of the Rip, Baja Bound traveled with the chase crew and got to shoot some video and interview some of the biggest names in moto: Jeremy McGrath, Johnny Campbell, Casey Currie, Cameron Steele and Jeff “OX” Cargola and more as they made their way from Tecate to San Felipe via Mike’s Sky Ranch. In an unfortunate turn of events, OX crashed hard on day two and died of his injuries in the hospital in San Felipe. Baja lost a brother that day, but the Rip continued on in his honor, culminating in an emotional finish in Cabo San Lucas.
Fuel TV brought a crew down to document the 2011 Rip To The Tip with five half-hour episodes, so keep your eyes peeled for that later this year. With the amazing helicopter footage they were getting and the talent level of the riders, this will undoubtedly be an action packed and emotional series. Special thanks goes out to Cameron Steele and the Desert Assassins crew for their support and hospitality!
R.I.P. OX and Viva Baja!
