The Scene
24 Hours In Black And White | Reminiscing
It’s always fun looking back on good times with good people. A couple years ago, while Fasthouse was steadily gaining notoriety—and the jerseys were cranking out and selling like hot cakes—Sean Collier got an invite to race with the Ox Motorsports team aboard their CRF450X at the annual Glen Helen 24 Hour event. Without hesitation, he took the invite, and we set up camp in the pits—in true FH style of course with an Airstream, tasty BBQ, and ice cold brews—in order to document the race in its entirety.
What transpired was a story that has to be seen to fully understand. The race itself didn’t go as planned for the foursome of Colton Udall, Ian Young, Mark Samuels, and Sean Collier, but it wasn’t for lack of trying or preparation. Bad luck hindered them the entire 24 hours, relegating them to a runner-up finish. What we came away with was a three-part series of videos telling the full story—raw and gritty—about what truly went down. If you missed the video series, shame on you. It’s a very entertaining glimpse into the world of professional off-road racing, team work, and what it takes to finish a 24 Hour motorcycle race.
