Dakar 2018 is just around the corner.
Ever wanted to get free daily updates from one of the racers?
See what it’s like to prepare for each day, ride it, then get ready for the next?
Not just raw GoPro or selfie videos, real professionally edited daily video episodes.

I've tried to follow Dakar but coverage is the US is minimal.
I don't have access to the international media feeds, can't afford them or don't understand the language.

I’ve followed a couple riders from ADV rider, one in particular, Lyndon Poskitt.

Lyndon has been racing motorcycles, all types of motorcycles, since he was a kid.
He's also an aeronautical engineer.
He also loves adventure riding.

Lyndon raced Dakar in 2013 as a privateer and finished 46th.
Then Lyndon decided to ride around the world and enter Rally Races along the way. He created the Races to Places video series, which is in its 7th season.

He rode his bike around the world and ended up at the 2017 Dakar. He raced Malle Moto and finished 2nd in that class. Malle Moto means you have no crew, no team, just the rider, the bike and a box of tools and spares. He managed to post video along the race and was part of the Dakar Heroes program.

Lyndon knows what he is doing and has a great sense at how to record and share his adventures.

For Dakar 2018 he decided to improve his ability to share video of the race. Through a Kickstarter project he is raising money for a vehicle and to hire a video crew to follow the race. He also has to license his content from the organizers and buy satellite link time.

Through the project Lyndon and the videographer will capture content, then with a producer they will edit 1 or 2 segments that will be sent by satellite to his media channels. This will be free to the world.

It will only happen if enough people contribute to meet the funding goal.
At the end of the project, it will be time to load the vehicle on the ship for Dakar.
Its a go or no-go sort of thing.

I have supported Lyndon in his 2013, 2017 and this Kickstarter project.
The video should be amazing.

There are 8 more days and a little over $10,000 he needs to raise.
Support the project if you can, spread the word.

Note: the funds do not go towards Lyndon entering the Dakar or racing, that funding is different.

This project is to provide all of us, free daily video of the Dakar.

I have no affiliation with Lyndon or his sponsors except that I have met him, he's a good guy and I've enjoyed his Races to Places adventures.

Yes I'm a noob here. I've been active on many other forums.

I have friends in the San Diego area and you guys ride into Baja more than most, and are experts.

I like to check in the the forum from time to time.

I selfishly hope Lyndon gets his funding so I can watch his videos.

Hoping some of your folks would enjoy them too.
