This episode brings you the rumors and reports of controversy surrounding the Hoka Hey Challenge, an 8,000+ test of endurance on two wheels that started in Key West, FL on June 20th and ended July 4th in Homer, AK. Hoka Hey is said to be a Lakota term meaning “It’s a good day to die” and is said to be the battle cry of the legendary Crazy Horse. Jump on in and listen to the rumors and tell me what you think.

There’s no good day to die, especially in a questionable challenge. I just hope all the riders made it home safe. Nice report

Thank you for commenting Rider Fan. Unfortunately, I know of two deaths so far. This whole thing looks more and more like a scam with each passing day. I will be doing another podcast in the next week updating what I have been able to find out. Unfortunately, the Hoka Hey Facebook page took the Discussions tab off the site. There were alot of people, including people that actually rode in the challenge, commenting on that page. There were alot of good questions asked there and some were answered directly by John White, who has some involvement in the challenge at this point. We will dive into that in the next episode.
Thanks for listening and I hope that you will come back and listen to Episode 20 very soon.

Rossmeyer HD is no longer on the HHC website.. looks like they want to cut their ties with Hoka Hey perhaps?
Keep digging. there are TONS of contradictions from what Jim and Beth have said in past (from 2 years ago to the very current past) with whatever their latest spin may be.

also, Broken Spoke Campground at Sturgis has agreed to let them use their stage between bands. Dont know if a time has been setup or not (date is Aug 11). Of course, that’s assuming Big Jim Red Cloud shows up.
