🔥 Ready for a Real Challenge?

Welcome to the Road to Baja challenge:

A full-throttle, full-send, hands-on shop experience where teens rebuild a 2018 Suzuki RMZ450, mod a 2023 KTM 350XCF, and outfit a 2007 Silverado Z71 4x4 into a fully functional chase truck — all in pursuit of the Baja 1000 dream.

And the cameras will be rolling the entire way.

This isn’t fantasy motocross. This isn’t a babysitting gig.

It’s a full-throttle mechanical mission where teens wrench side-by-side with pros, learn diagnostics on the Autel MaxiSys M919, and prep real bikes for real off-road terrain.

🎯 Want to bring your own motorcycle? Go for it — as long as you’re ready to make the same mods and keep pace with the crew.

📲 While most kids are glued to screens, this team is building machines.

🎥 And we’re rolling every moment for HOHRacingTV.

This is the Gear-Up Motorcycle Series:

Build bikes. Build skills. Build the dream.

And if you stick with us long enough?

🏁 You just might earn a seat on the real-life Baja 1000 Journey!

🔧 What You'll Actually Do:

✅ Strip, rebuild, and mod two beast-mode bikes — a 2018 RMZ450 and a 2023 KTM 350XCF

✅ Wrench your way from bare frame to roaring engine

✅ Learn suspension tuning, jetting, tires, wiring, and trail-proof upgrades

✅ Help outfit our 2007 Z71 chase truck for off-road chaos

✅ Rotate roles: Mechanic one week, Media Crew the next

✅ Film your story for HOHRacingTV (yep, you’re the star AND the editor)

✅ Master pit crew tactics: fast fixes, breakdown drills, and trail recovery

✅ Build your own Baja sponsor pitch to launch your off-road future

✅ End it all with a media drop party, crew celebration, and certificate

🎬 Why We're Filming It:

Because teens deserve to see themselves doing something legendary — not just scrolling through it.

Every bolt turned, every win, every “oh crap” moment gets captured for HOHRacingTV.

🧠 Real Build. Real Skills. Real Stakes.

This is not a one-week wonder. This is a smart, staged, goal-driven journey.

🧩 Phase One: Strip it. Learn it. Build it right.

⚙️ Phase Two: Build it better. Tune it strong.

🏁 Phase Three: Chase ready. Baja bound.

Let’s wrench something the desert won’t forget. 🌵🔥

🔄 Real Phases. Real Time. Real Terrain.

This isn’t a fantasy track day or “bike build in a weekend” show. This is a real garage — and real off-road dreams take time.

🧩 Phase One: Strip it. Learn it. Build it right.

This phase lays the groundwork. Teens will tear down the bikes, learn each system, and document their builds for HOHRacingTV. Whether they start with one of our bikes or bring their own, every bolt they touch builds the skills that matter.

Some crews will progress faster than others — and that’s okay. Every team walks away with real shop knowledge, build footage, and the start of something powerful.

⚙️ Phase Two: Build it better. Tune it strong.

This phase is where the rebuild begins. With mods, tuning, and reassembly under supervision, teens will see their bikes come back to life — louder, tougher, and ready for the trail.

Only those who’ve put in the wrench time will be invited to continue. No shortcuts. No pre-built rides. Just real growth.

🏁 Phase Three: Chase ready. Baja bound.

If the crew — and the bikes — are solid, we’ll simulate chase runs, prep the truck, and film our final pitches. From emergency scenarios to terrain mapping, it’s all part of getting ready for something bigger.

And if they earn it? The Road to Baja begins for real.

📅 Note: Most crews need more than one full cycle through Phase One before leveling up. That’s not failure — that’s reality.

💸 Cost & Access

Ages: 13–17

Level: Beginner–Intermediate

Start Date: Saturday, June 7, 2025

End Date: Saturday, August 9, 2025

⏰ Time: 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM

📍 Location: Kenyon Racing Garage – Morriston, FL

Program Tuition: $2,997

Early Enrollment: $2,697 (when paid in full before May 1)

That’s under $65/hour for hands-on automotive training, media production, and a chance to transform a forgotten Kia into a drag-strip machine — while filming every moment for HOHRacingTV.

Compare that to local “enrichment” programs that cost more per hour and don’t put teens anywhere near a real car, a real crew, or a real racetrack.

💥 Even national motorsports programs charge $7,000+ and still don’t hand teens the tools, cameras, and track access we provide.

Here, the dream isn’t theory — it’s built, tuned, and raced.

📣 Why Parents Will Love the Gear-Up Motorcycle Series:

🏍️ A Real Bike. A Real Build Team. A Real Future.

Tired of seeing your teen glued to a phone or aimlessly scrolling?

This isn’t punishment — it’s purpose.

🔧 What Teens Get (and Parents Notice):

✅ 40+ hours of high-energy, hands-on learning

✅ Real shop skills — wrenching, fixing, restoring

✅ Teamwork, focus, and confidence from building something real

✅ Media creation + storytelling skills for YouTube

✅ Mentorship from actual builders, not just adult supervisors

✅ Two tickets to a real racing event — not just video game pixels

🎯 Why It Works:

Screen Replacement, Not Just Restriction

→ They’re still using tech — but now it’s to film, edit, create, and build their story.

→ They leave the garage with skills and footage they’re proud of.

Purpose Over Punishment

→ Whether they love mechanics, filming, or just need a path — we meet them where they are.

→ This is for kids who need something real to care about — not more rules.

Not School. Not Camp. Something Better.

→ Real-world problem-solving with real teammates.

🧠 Long-Term Benefits:

• Teaches life-ready and job-ready mechanical skills
• Builds emotional grit, focus, and self-efficacy
• Opens paths to real race events, sponsorships, and careers
• Replaces screen time with mission-driven momentum

📋 Rules & Policies:

Missed Sessions: Make-ups for documented emergencies may be offered (if space allows)

Media Release Required: All participants must sign a media waiver (parent/guardian if under 18)

Safety is Mandatory: This is a real garage with real expectations

Real Builds = Real Consequences: Progress is earned through respect, effort, and consistency — not just attendance.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available through our nonprofit partner, TheOtherSideOfTheFence.org, for teens enrolled in the HighOctane Heroes Program. If cost is a barrier, ask how to apply — spots will go fast!

🔒 Prerequisite:

✅ All participants must complete the Mandatory Safety & Tool ID Mini-Series before joining this program. No exceptions.

Why? Because this isn’t pretend. These are real tools, real machines, and real risks. We don’t slow down the shop to explain what a ratchet is — we expect every crew member to show up ready to work safely.

🎓 Already enrolled in the Safety & Tool ID Mini-Series? Great — you’re on track.

💡 New to the program? Register for the Safety Mini-Series first. Once you complete it, you’ll earn your certificate and unlock access to the full build experience.

🧢 Want In?

Spots are limited — and this isn’t a tour. It’s a build crew.

No experience needed. Just show up, suit up, and give it your all.
