On the way, Du Xiaosheng has been studying the topographic map of the porcupine ridge trail outside Moab Town, Utah, and the details of the track have been given by the runners of the off-road motorcycle crossing competition.

The map clearly shows the dangers of each mountain area and what to look out for.

As for Du Xiaosheng's extreme sports club, as early as the last time Du Xiaosheng completed the Alpine Skiing Challenge, it has been preparing for the three-dimensional mapping of the cross-country motorcycle crossing route.

At this time, Gaia poured Du Xiaosheng's cup full of champagne, and after handing it to him, she reached out to the tablet and gently pulled it, and suddenly the three-dimensional landform of the entire Utah was presented in front of him with the help of the map of Brother Gu.

"These live maps show wildlife that could be spotted, or a few places with water throughout the Porcupine Ridge trail......"

Listening to Gaia's explanation, Du Xiaosheng couldn't stop nodding, the desert environment should not be underestimated, and if you want to enter such a place to participate in the competition, you must know more about the local situation.

The reason why the Porcupine Ridge Trail outside Moab, Utah, is not as well-known as Rockarm City in Utah and has not become a mecca for motocross riding in the United States is partly because of the large temperature difference between day and night, which makes it more difficult to supply food and water, and partly because the roads are very dangerous and the cliffs are very steep, making it difficult to get rescue in the event of an accident.

The more carefully he understands the details of the Porcupine Ridge Trail, the more Du Xiaosheng feels that this wilderness adventure is interesting, the mountain terrain of the Porcupine Ridge Trail is mostly the terrain of the dragon's back, the so-called dragon's back, that is, the entire mountain is like the sharp back of the stegosaurus, the two sides are very narrow, and the road is only as wide as a slap or off-road motorcycle tires.

Riding a cross-country motorcycle in the mountains is a very dangerous and exciting thing, and since the launch of the wilderness adventure column, the arrangement of the program team this time has made Du Xiaosheng particularly satisfied. In the circle of extreme sports, the king of off-road, Cartterson? Oliver and the motorcycle 'Angel of Death' Death Flyer Joey? Schuler is one of the most famous motorcycle riders, and it's great to be able to compete with them on the same stage during the live broadcast.

……

A day later, when he arrived at the international airport in Utah, he had just gotten off the plane and walked out of the pick-up hall, Du Xiaosheng couldn't wait to ask Hugo, who came to pick him up, "How is it?" Is the motocross ready for it? I wanted to warm up with a ride before the race. ”

Since Du Xiaosheng jumped into the sea on a cross-country motorcycle on the coast of Yufupu, he has never had a chance to ride again.

Hugo heard Du Xiaosheng's question, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Do you want to ride now?" I really brought it. ”

"Huh? Can you bring a dirt bike too? Riding it yourself? While walking out of the VIP passage, Du Xiaosheng asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Seeing him ask, Hugo also happily sold a pass and smiled at Gaia.

Du Xiaosheng was a little speechless: "You all know the feelings? What is arranged? ”

Out of the VIP channel, Du Xiaosheng greeted the fans who came to pick up the airport in Utah, and took the initiative to take a group photo and tweet.

After getting on the bus, I noticed that the bus that came to pick him up today was a little different.

The bus itself is as long as a 50-seater coach, but there are only 10 seats on it.

After the group got on the bus, the car drove onto the interstate highway in Utah.

Du Xiaosheng was even more puzzled, and asked Hugo and Gaia: "Didn't you say that you brought the off-road motorcycle?" Where? ”

Without waiting for Du Xiaosheng to speak, the American foreigner driver of the bus suddenly showed a smile, and then pressed a button near the steering wheel, and then there was a sudden sound of the door opening behind Du Xiaosheng.

Subconsciously looked back, only to see that the position of the rear seat had opened the hatch at this time, and dozens of auto show chasing lights inside were lit up, shining on an off-road motorcycle.

Looking at the handsome off-road motorcycle under the spotlight, Du Xiaosheng's eyes were straight.

It turned out that this bus was not an ordinary passenger car, but a transport bus.

At this time, on display at the booth inside the bus was an Austrian-made KTM 790 ADV.

The car has cool angular lines, using an 800cc parallel twin-cylinder water-cooled engine, the body is dominated by black monolithic, the front of the car resembles the head of a robot, and the body has a black, white and yellow color scheme with a corrugated flame-like domineering pattern.

The entire engine is wrapped in a protective plate, and the exposed cylinder block chain and other mechanical parts are full of tough guy texture, and under the background of the huge white shock absorption under the saddle, the whole off-road motorcycle shows a domineering handsomeness.

"How? The car is still in the concept stage and simply cannot be mass-produced. For this off-road competition, the club specially communicated with the manufacturer of KTM and purchased this car for you. Hugo said with a smile and introduced to Du Xiaosheng.

"This is a gift from the company?" Du Xiaosheng asked in surprise.

It's not just satisfying, KTM's off-road bikes are known for their performance, and the top five finishers at the World Off-Road Championship are often seen riding KTM bikes.

"Fail or lose" is the slogan of KTM's off-road bikes, which have won 104 championships since '98, and it's hard to say how good this latest off-road bike is.

Coming to the side of the off-road motorcycle, stroking the streamlined body, Du Xiaosheng looked at the position of the engine fuel tank spray-painted with matte paint on the two black and white Chinese characters 'lightning', which made him a little fond of it.

It's a custom KTM vehicle, and when you step onto the bike and grab the handlebars of the motorcycle with both hands, you feel a sense of comfort.

Gaia and Hugo smiled at each other and gestured to the bus driver, who immediately reached out to operate the side door of the body.

As the Hongyan scissor door slowly opened up, the other drivers around who were also driving on the highway couldn't help but show their admiring eyes and looked at Du Xiaosheng riding on an off-road motorcycle.

Cool, quite happy.

Put the black helmet on the head, ignite, give oil, with the tail light of the off-road motorcycle on, Du Xiaosheng, who supported the ground with his feet, suddenly stood up, and the body jumped up in the air, and then the tires of the motorcycle rotated rapidly in the air, and a monster-like roar sounded at the moment of landing, the gearbox of the 5th gear changed rapidly, and the maximum horsepower of 62 horsepower gushed rapidly, and Du Xiaosheng, who broke away from the bus, twisted the handlebar, and the car drove directly towards the undulating desert mountains.

With the sand splashing, under the screams and cheers of the members of the BBC discovery column team, Du Xiaosheng, who was riding a bicycle, began to get familiar with the car on the desert road......
