Sam Sunderland Takes A Rally Bike To The MX Track + Video
With the 2015 Dakar set to begin on January 4, all the teams and riders are in high gear getting themselves and their equipment ready for the grueling event. For British rider, Sam Sunderland, getting ready means practicing his skills. However, short of taking his KTM 450 Rally to the desert, the only other viable option is taking it for a spin around a motocross track. Here, watch Sunderland do just that, ripping around the Jebel Ali MX track and putting in some fast motos. It’s an incredible sight to see, and a testament to Sunderland’s skill that he’s able to get around as quickly as he does.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
