Shan’s Fav Shots Of 2017 - PHOTOS

Looking back at the 2017 East Coast off-road season

January 14, 2018

The 2018 off-road racing season is just kicking off and the 2017 season is in the record books. But before 2018 really heats up, here’s a look back at photographer Shan Moore’s favorite shots of 2017. He criss crosses the nation and usually leaves the continent at least once a year to bring you photos and stories from the National Enduro series, the Full Gas Sprint Enduro Series, and the US MotoTrials series. He scouts out the great areas along the race courses and as you've seen brings back images of the action most spectators will never get to see. We thought it would be fun to ask Shan what photos he felt were his best. Here are those picks, along with a quick explanation from Shan of who and what the photo captured. Shan is covering the full National Enduro and Full Gas Sprint Enduro and the trials series for 2018, so check in for results, stories, photo galleries, and videos throughout the year.
