Monster Energy: Ballistic BJ Baldwin Recoil 2 - Unleashed in Ensenada, Mexico


What better place than the city streets of Ensenada Mexico, the home of the Baja 1000, to set the stage for the sequel to Ballistic BJ Baldwin's viral hit Recoil. This short film by Monster Energy follows BJ and his 800hp Trophy Truck as he tears through this seaside Mexican city, ripping over every drop and jump the town has to offer in an attempt to win a bet set by his friend, and international playboy Dan Bilzerian. Will he win? What will he lose?

Watch RECOIL 1 here.

Filmed by Logan and Sons.

 Rad. I was going to ask wtf this has to do with mountain biking but I just remembered the girl in red rides mountain bikes & posted this to her instagram. instagram.com/p/tDUVRdLMll

So there you go PB. Made the connection for ya.

 Holly shit it´s true. How did you find that?
  • 128 2
 I have seen her locally a few times at the bike park and ended up following her on IG one way or another. She reposted that IG video this morning & I remembered seeing it while I was doing my morning ritual of taking a shit & browsing IG. In fact, I watched the BJ Baldwin video during the same poo.

So, Ya, You asked.

 Ha, what a crazy coincidence. That girl with the instagram account crashed into me a week and a half ago at Summit.

I was at the fork between Westridge and Party Wave and she came out of nowhere, and smacked right into me. Banged her shin/ankle pretty good, too.

In my mind she was chasing me down, intent on learning all about me and my sweet bicycle. Maybe even ask for a private riding lesson. But no... after I made sure she was fine she hobbled away, hopped back on her bike and rode off. Like a crazy hot unicorn...

Easily the hottest girl I've seen on any mountain bike... period. Super cute accent too...

 I was wondering when urban riding/stunting would come to 4x4s. Great driving and awesome video.
  • 7 2
 Yeah, amazing how the suspension eats up those square bumps and drops. I would truly give a kidney for that ride

 that's one badass Chevy...killer vid !!!...
  • 6 0
 Sorry bro, gonna take a lot more than a kidney. That'll only get you $30k which leaves you a long ways off of what that truck is worth. Going to have to find somebody who invests in souls for that one....@m9er

 Some TT's are 4wd. Herbst Truggy is probably the best known example.

 See!! Urban freeride with tons of suspension is the best thing ever. Stop calling it old school!

 Anybody else want to hear Claudio doing his commentary on the same run?

"Ok and now we take the final Huck to flat over the pretty ladies and WOW!! Oh my god, I think will need a beer and a quiet 5 mins alone after experiencing THOSE braking BUMPS!

 Here's my link between this video and mtn biking. My background was in desert racing fabrication/racing, but a move to the pacific northwest put that adventure to a complete stop. I keep telling people that riding Whistler on a DH bike over chunky, rough trails is the closest I can get to that.

 I live in Ensenada.. and this was EPIC.
  • 3 1
 I used to go down there all the time. Helped pit a couple 1000s and used to go ride the dunes at cantamar. Its too bad I would never bring my toys across that border ever again. Too risky these days, have some good times down there...

 Ensenada is so calm, buddy, the big problems in Mexico are in the center of the country but the TV say other things.
  • 5 1
 VIVA ENSENADA !!!!!!!!!
Beautyful and peaceful place full of good people and some of the best downhillers in the country.
Do you remember pistol Pete Loncarevich??? he came down to race many years ago and our kids beat him.

Saludos Ensenada.
  • 1 0
 Ensenada is fine, problem for me is crossing the border with anything of value is a risk. Aside from the drug trade violence, there are too many hungry people there. I'm a white boy, my girlfriend of many years is from Mazatlan and I have been to many parts of Mexico many times.

 A wonderful video with an amazing sport. If I didn't have my family, I love them so, I would still pursue racing in the Baja. I used to race in minor classes and love me the Trophy Trucks. Way more fun than normal driving. Thankfully, my biking help to ease the urge to rally race again. Else, I would be broke, again.

 Makes me wanna move to mexico! Is there anywhere in north america you could something like this in?
  • 2 0
 If you're in eastern Canada, Silver Lake, Michigan. If you're west, well, pick your poison: Glamis, Pismo, Ocotillo Wells, many I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't even know about yet. Really anywhere in the US southwest. Living where I do, with crap for offroading, Silver Lake is near and dear to my heart.

Ooh, almost forgot about Oregon Dunes! That's farther north for you.
  • 2 0
 Nyland cali is nice if glamis is too populated for your taste. I usually head thereabouts. Also I just have to point it out cause I'm a douche that way but Mexico is still considered part of North America... :p
