Loretta Lynns: the proving grounds for amateur motocross. Dane Pappas, Easton Graves, and Sawyer Gieck were put to the test at the ranch in 2026, and overcame its challenges with flying colors. While some have earned the illusive factory rides, others are on the hunt and will do anything in their power to make this dream a reality.

From low points to high points, staying level headed through peaks and valleys is what separates a Loretta Lynn’s champion from a mid-pack performance. Dive into this seven day stretch that feels like a lifetime but passes in an instant. The stakes are high, the pressure is real, and the time is now.

This is what chasing, “The Dream” looks like.

Been 'round these parts making dirtbike movies since '02; a weathered veteran with moto and camera related back issues, the hearing equivalent to my great-great grandfather's, and a dirt tan that will literally never come off. But I'm still in way better shape than every other dog in this joint, but that's because I use Chili and no slaw.
