The Most Dangerous Ride of Our Lives: Baja 1000
Join Jason and Nikki Wynn, adventurous explorers and creators, as they take on the grueling challenge of the Baja 1000—one of the most dangerous and exhilarating off-road races in the world. With their trusty, vintage VW Baja Bug and a crew of eager novices known as the “Dirty Amigos,” they embark on a wild journey over 1,000 miles of rugged terrain filled with sand, rocks, and decrepit trails.
In this episode, the excitement begins as Jason and Nikki reflect on the sheer chaos that is the Baja 1000. From gut-wrenching pre-runs to unexpected vehicle breakdowns, they capture the ups and downs of racing in real-time. With every mile, viewers witness not just the thrill of racing but also the heartwarming camaraderie that develops among teammates and fellow racers in this vibrant off-road community.
The narrative unfolds through captivating moments of laughter, adrenaline, and the ever-present risk of danger. As the team navigates the treacherous courses, they’re faced with the realities of racing: flipping cars, challenging terrains, and even rescue missions. There are mishaps and malfunctions, but nothing can dampen their spirits as they embrace the wild unpredictability of the Baja.
Amidst the chaos, Jason and Nikki manage to share invaluable insights on off-grid living and self-reliance, reflecting their continuous commitment to curiosity and adventure. Whether it’s fueling up on AG1 for much-needed nutrition or bonding over the shared experience of not knowing whether they’ll finish the race alive, every moment is a testament to the essence of exploration.
In this nail-biting chronicle of courage and spontaneity, discover what it truly means to live life to the fullest, chase your dreams, and share unforgettable experiences with both friends and strangers alike.
So, buckle up and prepare for a ride filled with unexpected twists, a whole lot of dirt, and a dash of wit—because in Baja, the only certainty is the thrill of adventure.

Wow. Great video. You did a great job considering your cameras and footage were stolen. Holy crap, what an adventure! Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing ❤
Great adventure! Great editing of what you had! Very enjoyable to watch! Thanks!
Wild horsepowers couldn’t drag me to attend, or even less so, participate in this event. Dust, scorpions, loud engines with no mufflers, public port-a-potties. Don’t sign me up. Butt I still love the Wynns!!!
Ok, Jason & Nicky, I’m impressed as you two learn to be Baja 1000,“JAFO’S” aka navigators. 😂 The acronym “JAFO” is a an oldie defined: (Just another Fu*& Observer) Lol!😅😮😊
But, this is a great Sunday as I anticipated a workout on my core, pilates and yoga, but, two hours later, I still watching your Sunday videos.😮🎉❤
Now, I know somewhere in the world, you two have a “Gone with the Wyns” fan who is a chiropractor, and is willing to give you both physical examinations after the Baja 1000!
I love the “Nautistyles” boat tour and the new boat is impressive!
Again congratulations on such a most deserving adventure boat to cruise above the 48th parallel for which I’m looking forward to viewing Jason & Nicky adventures below zero Celsius adventure boat cruising from Europe to North America.❤🎉
Great job making this video from what you had. It's perfect chaos, like Baja😂.
Loved it, thanks for sharing😊
Interesting reading.. Look up "Dirty Amigos" in the Urban Dictionary. LOL.
Great film guys. Terrific!
That was wild! I've codriven rally cars, but those tracks are next level. Glad you enjoyed the adventure!
Awesome video guys! That looked fun as h*II! ❤
What an amazing editing job!! You guys did THIS with a fraction of your footage?!? This beautifully illustrates what epic visual storytellers you are. Well done!
Great video. Glad you had enough video to make the story cohesive. Totally enjoyed…
Neck braces!
It was great seeing the race from your perfective.
20:56 In addition to the awful green poverty text bubbles, I will use this little snippet every time some goober gets all high and mighty about their garbage Android phone.😂
All that dust reminded me of Invasion of Iraq 3-21-2003. Inhaling the dust and the unforgiving terrains, you'll be paying it back at your twilight years.
Been a fan for 5+ years. Omg. Just wow. Just shows how people working as a team can accomplish anything. I think this might be my favorite video. Sucks to lose the camera. But at least you still have your community and health.
@3:30 You did not "leave America". You left the United States. You were still in America after you crossed the border.
The 2 of you are definitely making up for lost time. Even with the theft, this video was ****** A W E S O M E ********
Thank you for the upload Ih the remaining footage you have. Pretty wild adventure.
I have a Garmin In-Reach with maps and Satellite texting (not just for Emergency) communication and a newer satellite capable I-Phone and I haven’t left the continental US in my travels.
You just never know when you’ll need it.
Cheap insurance.
Nikki, what is the source of your white sunglasses? Wife loves them so I may have found a Christmas present.
Hi guys, totally sorry your camera got stolen, however, this video was amazing, you did a great job with the footage you had. Looking forward to seeing more of your new boat and cold weather adventures.
Didn't think I'd watch the whole hour plus. But then at the end I'm thinking: what, that's it? There has to be more!
Wow, Jason is a terrible driver! 🤦🏾♂️
That was an awesome video guys and an awesome experience I would love to go watch it one day
I wasn’t expecting much from this video. I knew you’d lost your “best” recordings, and then I saw it was an hour+ runtime… But oh my, I was glued to this one. It was utterly amazing! Thank you so much!
Well Done! ADVENTURE! And clearly you have been bitten hard, can't wait to see you racing in the future! And how awesome you met some of your fans on the course, and made lots of new friends!
Where can I get the Dirty Amigo Racing shirt?
Thanks for giving us something. I really enjoy spending time with you all.
Safe Travels.
I’ve watched from the RV days, thanks for letting me tag along. I would love to meet you both at some point. If you need crew for a week or two, I used to be a search and rescue coxswain in the Coast Guard. I’m 66 now, but I think I’m still pretty good at the helm. 🌊⛈️💨🌕
Great video! I know you are disappointed about losing your "good" footage but this raw and real stuff may have told the story a little better.❤
OOOOO WEEEEE that was DIRTY! Off the charts on the ADVENTURE scale.
Children gather around: these are professionals. They get their equipment stolen and this could still pass for the BBC. David Attenborough would be proud.
A few weeks ago I spent some time watching Jeff Petrowski in Jamaica live as he tried to negotiate the roads after a level five hurricane. The experience was so absorbing and traumatic that I had quite forgotten that I was actually quite safe at home and I could go and have a cup of of tea and calm down. The best compliment I can give to your video is that is exactly the same emotions that your exhilarating adventure had on me.Absolutely riveting. anything under an hour would not have done it justice.Many many thanks.
Instead of shredding the tyers why not go up backwards using reverse torque? I would had got 4 wheel drive but never mind.
Let’s get back to the boats.
Thank you for sharing this incredible experience and story!
Piecing this video together to finish it from what’s left after being robbed is an metaphor for the race itself in which you piece together a working vehicle to finish.
Amazing video! Way better than I expected after your Amsterdam "adventure".
Also we need a "Dirty Amigos" shirt!
Even if I wasn't a hardcore follower, I would click that thumbnail in a second. "1000 Miles of Bad Decisions" is possibly the best movie title ever! 😆🥰
I really would have never known your footage was stolen. This was incredible. Loved seeing all the friendships and help that was given and made. You may have to name the new boat hurry up and wait as that has been the theme for you guys for many years now. All or nothing thats our Wynns!
This is the longest video we have ever uploaded! 😳 So if you made it all the way to the end, thank you! You just hung with us through one of the wildest adventures we have been on so far. If I could give you some churros and horchata as a thank you, I would! 🌱AG1 has their best offer EVER – subscribe with my link https://www.drinkag1.com/gonewiththewynns and you’ll unlock 7 free gifts worth $126
