Tribute to Carlin Dunne


Recommended Posts

Dana Brown (Endless Summer 2, Dust to Glory, On Any Sunday The Next Chapter, etc..l) put together this tribute to Carlin Dunne who passed away recently competing in the Pikes Peak race.

I met Carlin at their Santa Barbara Ducati dealership when the salesman pointed to a Multistrada and said it had won the Pikes Peak race (~2011?) and ridden "by that guy behind the counter."  I was blown away that this factory bike with just modified tires won overall but also by a guy who'd never raced Pikes before.

Carlin went on to win again and again on an electric bike beating his old record and most recently for Ducati before his crash.

He was an accomplished athlete all around and was known for his downhill mountain biking skills and even won the Baja 500!  I saw him in another tribute video for Kurt Caselli when they did that Roland Sands KTM 500 bike.

Our friend Mark Daniels is featured in the video as well.
