Trail Breaker started in Moab a few years ago with the late, Kevin Carroll, taking top honors. It has since moved over to Sand Hollow as part of the annual Trail Hero event.
WHAT IS TRAIL BREAKER?
Trail Breaker = A special invite-only event for the top 10 drivers in the world to break a new, never-conquered trail. This year’s event was an incredible foray into one of the toughest trails at Sand Hollow.
Ten drivers accepted the invitation to compete on the trail – it is driven in stages. The difference between this competition and traditional rock crawling is there are no cones, no judges, just a time limit. Each competitor tackles the trail alone. There are no spotters, and the competitors do not get to watch anyone else do their run.
Jesse Haines was the first driver up on course one with a fifteen-minute time limit. The second driver ended up with a mechanical problem, so Jesse continued on throughout the whole course in what seemed like a very fast time.
