If you’ve ever been to the Oregon dunes, chances are you’ve heard about “Banshee Hill.” Well just to the left of Banshee Hill is another, even more challenging climb called the Widow Maker. It’s a steep, single lane climb that snakes its way through tight trees. We’ve seen it in person and the camera doesn’t do it justice.

Growing up in Oregon, most of Seth's involvement in the powersports world was limited to what he saw in magazines and videos. Following a brief stint in the corporate world, Seth took a flying leap (literally) and moved to California to pursue a career in freestyle motocross. Though short lived, the opportunity immersed him in the industry and is now a well-established off-road writer.
