Instructors
Scotty "Breauxman" Bloom
BAJA RALLY Creator
Instructor Scotty's rally skillset and Baja knowledge stem from more than a decade of building all of the stage routes for the 13 year old BAJA RALLY. With over 15,000 km of professionally raced Baja Rally stage routes (66 stages over 59 days) to his credit, Scotty continues the journey of his "life's work" to make maps that guide people on the exact path to safety and abundance.  

Candidates will learn to navigate and prepare to race rallies from the man who actually designs all of the stages and who writes all of the roadbooks for BAJA RALLY. This first hand experience building stages lends itself to making you as prepared as you can possibly be to (start and finish) a world class rally raid such as the BAJA RALLY®.
