While most of those involved in the sport are brave, there are very few like this year\u2019s Baja 1000 PRO MOTO IRONMAN winner, Jeff Benrud. This Team Multicam<\/a> member and retired Sergeant Major with army Special Operations has completed 13 tours overseas and 700 combat missions, but his first love has always been dirt bikes.<\/p>\n \u201cEven as a 3-year-old little boy I would see dirt bikes and be enamored by them,\u201d said Benrud. \u201cLuckily, my father owned a real-estate company that was right beside a bike shop where I would often spend much of my time, and eventually he agreed to give me my own bike at the age of 5 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n
