Come see some of the most Wicked Celebrated Trophy Trucks and Pre-Runners in the Desert.

BFG is Coming to the IOUE
After years of conversation BFG is finally coming to the International Off-Road & UTV Expo. “It’s been a long time in the works, and things on everyones ends need to come together but we did it, and I am super happy to have them in Arizona” states show owner Andy Myers. Look for BFG and their new UTV Tires at their booth in the front hall of the Expo! See you there.
BFG History
In 1870, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich founded the first tire factory in North America, in Akron, Ohio. Even then, performance was already an integral part of the brand’s DNA. This led Charles Cross Goodrich, son of Benjamin, to establish the very first tire research centre in the United States. As a result, BFGoodrich began to stand out from the competition as early as 1903, when it provided the tires for the Winton Touring Car, the first car to cross the North American continent from east to west.
BFGoodrich soon identified another means of improving mobility by entering the rapidly expanding industry of aeronautics. This allowed the challenge-oriented brand to push the limits in new ways. The brand was involved in the 46.5 mph speed record set in 1909, at the first international air race held in Reims, on a Curtiss Aeroplane Corporation plane.
The 1920s presented the chance to conquer a challenge that was once thought unthinkable. In 1927, BFGoodrich provided the tyres for the Spirit of St. Louis, in which Charles Lindbergh made the first nonstop transatlantic flight in history.

Destry Abbott is Coming
“Years ago I worked extremely hard to get EnduroCross back to Arizona. After an 8 year hiatus from the Arizona scene I finally convinced them to come back, and they did! A big part of that push was to get eyes on Destry Abbott and to support an Arizona Legend that was going through some tough times. The result was huge, by incorporating the EnduroCross event into the IOUE we were able to sell it out, and too my knowledge it was one of the first times they sold out a race. Now the Prescott event is one of the top in the country, and all I can say as a motorcycle fan, is AWESOME!” For the Second year in a row Destry is coming out the Expo, this year displaying his skills over obstacles and and on flat terrain. If you love riding, don’t miss watching one of the top riders in the World at the IOUE this December 6-8 at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona.
