ULTRA 4 TV + KING OF THE MOTOS
• Dave Cole announced, “For the 2023 season, Ultra4 TV will be FREE. That’s right. FREE. If you subscribed before, your subscription will renew, but it will renew at no charge to you.
“It’s our way of saying “thank you for your support” and to be able to show you what we can do going forward. You may get an email saying your subscription is renewed, but it’s at $0.
“Ultra4 TV is also now a part of American Outdoor Events, and we look forward to bringing you live Ultra4 USA and MAO Racing events, original programming, exclusive behind-the-scenes and team content, podcasts, interviews with industry leaders, and an expanded “Race Universe” that includes all the events from MidAmerica Outdoors. It’s going to be a very exciting year!
“(Did you know you can add the “Ultra4 TV” channel to your smart TV! That’s right, go to the channels, search for “Ultra4 TV” and then add it. It’s that easy. All the benefits of streaming on your big TV while kicking back in your comfy chair!)”
King of the Motos makes a return to the lakebed in 2023! This year’s King of the Motos may be the most impressive US Enduro to date! Partnering with the US Hard Enduro to be the first stop on the 2023 schedule, riders are in for a wild course, and spectators, get ready for a fantastic show!
Johnson Valley’s own Justin Leineweber has plotted this year’s race in the rocks and desert of the Hammers trails.

OPERATION CONSEQUENCES
• The good news: Our sheriff’s Operation Consequences team-up with federal agents and the California Highway Patrol seized hundreds of guns and tens of millions of dollars worth of drugs from the High Desert and San Bernardino city area in three months! These ramped-up raids and street enforcement are set to continue in the new year.
According to a Daily Press analysis of public sheriff’s disclosures, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department-led “Operation Consequences” logged at least 373 gun seizures – including 100 so-called “ghost guns,” meaning a legally-required serial number has been scratched off or doesn’t exist to be effectively untraceable – and 347 arrests from Oct. 1 to Dec. 30.
Working in Victorville, San Bernardino, and surrounding communities, several federal, state and county agencies joined the effort, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Investigations arm, the state CHP, the San Bernardino County Probation Department, and San Bernardino’s city PD.
They joined the sheriff’s Gangs-Narcotics Division, specialized SWAT teams and multiple patrol stations in aspects of the sweeping operation.
During a series of raids in Victorville, San Bernardino, Lucerne Valley, Fontana, Yucaipa, and Norco between Dec. 3 and Dec. 9, the sheriff’s Consequences teams seized more than 32 pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of cocaine, and 1.42 pounds of fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills, according to the periodic public disclosures.
Bravo! Encore!
