All Or Nothing
Talk about an end of week adrenaline rush. After a high paced warm up Marko requested that the pace should be increased further to see if our Advanced Juniors could handle it.
The sand on the slopes was unusually soft which made it difficult to get onto the crests while the crests themselves were extremely pointed from the recent sand storms in the area. This combination would normally deter the average off-roader from riding the crests – but these were no average off-roaders, they were Desert Fellas.
The convoy flattened almost every crest from Nazwa to Pink Rock, and just for good measure doubled back on some of the more βinterestingβ crests.
It was unfortunate that one of the Fellas encountered a mechanical problem and had to exit the drive before reaching Pink Rock. After escorting him to safety the convoy continued its assault on the high climbs around Pink Rock while maintaining an incredible pace and beautiful flow.
At the big bowl near the top of Pink Rock Marko made a surprise announcement that [wpdiscuz-feedback id=”srtvz0z2vb” question=”Well deserved, congratulations!!!” opened=”0″]Talal, Samir and Hussam[/wpdiscuz-feedback] were upgraded to Offroaders, which filled the air with celebration and a sense of achievement.
The convoy exited the desert with adrenaline still coursing through their veins, feeling satisfied that they got to experience a hint of what an Offroader drive would feel like, without the need for a recovery rope.
Thanks to Rathica and Talal for your superb support on todayβs trip.
Congratulations to our new Offroaders. Welcome to a new chapter of your off-roading journey. Enjoy it safely.

really gutted to have missed the party. thanks Talal for sharing the behind the scenes video. big congrats to each and everyone! hope to catch you all next weekend.
Everything happens for a reason. The drive was quite demanding- it was not a difficult drive but it demanded attention, focus and lots of energy. Feeling unwell or drained would have interfered with your drive. You will have a much better drive on Friday when you are feeling well and fit.
See you on the sand.
You missed a fantastic drive but you may get a chance again on Friday. I hope you are feeling better ππΌ
This trip was full of surprises, perhaps the biggest one for me, was my upgrade to Team Leader. Thank you all for being a part of this special moment in my journey as an off-roader. Marc and Marko did a great job of keeping everything under wraps and ensuring that their decision did not interfere with the quality of this drive. I wish to do Desert Fellas proud by always upholding the high standards that have become synonymous with this group. Looking forward to a lot more fun in the sand.
Mabrook guys, well deserved…
Thanks Marko, we really appreciate your efforts and time with us, we will make you proud of us πͺπ€
We started our drive with smiles and excitement, definition “All or nothing ” the trip was mix of everything which lead to success. Sorry to other fellas samir for the unexpected breakdown but this one of desert surprises. Marko added amazing vibe by upgrading the fellas π and preggy deserved it π.

A surprisingly drive with high pace and high spirits from the fellas & the support team.
Unfortunately my car decided to do not let me finish this drive due to tensioner pulley failure which makes me drive in the desert without power steering, alternator & AC, however i had some fun on my way out from the desert.
Congrats to the upgraded fellas, it’s earned not given πͺ
See you on the other side π€

This was an amazing drive! My favorite spot so far! I loved how we were pushed, though the safety distance was challenging π
Congratulations π π π Amazing driving ππΌππΌππΌ
What an amazing driveπππ. Fast paced and packed with Cresting, Drivers were “PUSH”ed to the limits… But it was worth it when they received the news that some of the drivers were upgraded in their driving levels.
The best surprise was having the love of my life being promoted to Team Leader and received his flag which he promptly hoisted.
I had my first Fella experience of floating around the back of the convoy and guiding drivers back to the track when needed.
Excellent way to end the weekππΌππΌππΌ
Congratulations to allππΌππΌππΌ

What a joyride to join the fellas after the last off-roader trip. The pace was intensely intense with the marshal screaming push-push to close the gap while the anchor telling us to maintain safe distance. What a dilemma? At many instances i was getting a constant head rush with my daughter howling in the back seat going bananas over those short steep dunes. This convoy was tearing through the desert like a pack of hungry wolves chasing the Elk. Some wolves got nervous, some lost courage but the alpha was behind my tail after one wolf injured his limb and had to bail. My jeep was roaring through the sand jungle as i was pushing her to the limit. Few breaks and scary warmups kept the adrenaline coursing through our veins. The plunges at pink rock at high velocity left goosebumps on my skin. & then to cream the pie were the announcements for some deserving wolves the crown to the next tier. And the Elk too was bestowed the honor of making the chase worthy by earning a promotion. At the end of the hazy day, it was a journey that i will cherish forever.
Look forward to see such monstrosity in the wilderness of off-roader level trips. Till then thy fellas AAAAAOOOOOUU!!!
Excellent Drive and a step closer to off-roader level
Congrats for the new off-roaders and Preggy
