Jason Britton
Jason Britton is probably best known as the premier ambassador for the sportbike lifestyle, thanks to his role as host of SPEED Channel’s Superbikes show and his position as executive editor for 2 Wheel Tuner magazine.   Jason grew up in Huntington Beach, California.  He started riding motorcycles at the age of two.  By age 10, he was BMX racing.  At 12, Jason was popping wheelies and racing motocross.  Now a Kawasaki-supported rider, Britton has taken his “extreme” skills to an artful level.  He has also tackled challenging Hollywood roles and still finds time to collect bikes and make stunt videos.  Earlier this year, Jason and his family experienced their first Kawasaki Teryx Adventure in Glamis.

Larry Roessler
Larry Roessler has been a dominant force in the California deserts for almost 40 years. He won the Baja 500 and 1000 many times on both motorcycles and trucks.  Over the years, he has been sponsored by Harley-Davidson, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, and KTM. Recently he won the Baja 1000 driving the Terrible Herbst Open Class truck. Roeseler was one of the stars of the movie, “Dust to Glory.”

Hank Williams III
Hank III is the musician behind the genre-bending Hellbilly sound. Country, metal, and a ton of other influences come together to create a unique take on American music. The grandson of Hank Williams, Sr. and son of Hank Williams, Jr., he was born into Nashville royalty but refuses to conform to the mainstream country sound. Hank III is also a sportsman that knows his way around the farm. He took us on a turkey shoot and to his family’s farm to show that the Teryx™ 750 4×4 packs a lot of utility into this high-performance vehicle.

Jon Crowley has been an off-roader for twenty years.  During that time, he has owned several ATVs, Sand Rails, Jeeps and more recently UTVs. Jon was one of those people that took an early Yamaha Rhino on a ride and knew that UTV popularity was going to explode.?Since then, he has owned a Yamaha Rhino, Polaris RZR and a Kawasaki Teryx. After getting a good feel of what each vehicle can do in stock form, Jon typically embarks on a thorough buildup of each vehicle.?Jon enjoys driving UTVs in a variety of terrain ˆ from the sand dunes of Glamis, to the boulders on the Rubicon and from the washes of Baja to slick rock or Moab.
