April 16, 2025
To kick off our Top Ten series, we figured—who better to start with than Chrissie Beavis? Chrissie’s been with the Rebelle since the very beginning. She’s our Head Scoring Judge, but more than that, she’s seen it all: the wins, the wipeouts, the “what were we thinking?” moments. Her advice isn’t sugarcoated or overly complicated—it’s the kind of stuff you wish someone had told you before your first rally.

Where Are They Now: Racquel Black, 2x Rebelle
March 11, 2025
For Racquel Black, the Rebelle Rally was more than just an off-road competition—it was a space to sharpen the skills she already carried with her. Growing up on the Navajo Nation meant resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving were second nature. But in the desert, surrounded by a team of strong women, she learned just how valuable those skills were in ways she hadn’t expected.

For LeeWhay Pasek, the Rebelle Rally wasn’t just about competition—it was a turning point.
“At Tech Inspection in 2021, my rookie year, I sent a down payment on 200+ acres of raw land in New Hampshire just before we shut down our electronics.”
Since then, she and her family have built up a homestead, farm, and orchard. This spring, they’ll add another 350+ fruit and fodder trees and three goats to their property. “It has been an adventure.”

October 21, 2024
As the 9th edition of the Rebelle Rally came to a close this past Saturday, competitors and partners celebrated with a day of Tread Lightly! Trail Cleanup, massages, and the annual Busby Games. They capped off the evening with Rebellation gala and awards ceremony at the final basecamp in Johnson Valley.

October 19, 2024
For the final day of competition, DAY 7 was split between two very distinctive sets of checkpoints, with the first 12 checkpoints of the day being in the Glamis Dunes and on route Enduro to Johnson Valley. Just because the finish line wasn’t in the Imperial Dunes this year didn’t mean the final route wasn’t challenging.

Rebelle Rally competitors are pushing toward the finish line. DAY 6, presented by TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication, is the first of two days in Glamis spent chasing checkpoints among the giant dunes.

The competition is heating up as Rebelles left Dumont Dunes today to made their way further south to the final basecamp on Soggy Lake, nestled down in Johnson Valley, California. The teams started their morning with a long on-route enduro heading south through Rasor OHV and, ultimately, ending up in the iconic Johnson Valley OHV area.
