Itchy Boots races BAJA RALLY. Stage 1 - CRASH & BROKEN TOWER. 

This is the real Noraly we've come to love. Through adversity and hardship, excitement and passion, also caring for fellow riders! Ride safe!

That Mason generously let Noraly ride his rally replica bike with its paper roadbook proves to be valuable exposure for her rally training. Mason's Dakar Rally GoFundMe has exploded since Noraly linked it in her last video and promoted it. Hopefully the momentum will keep up and we'll see Mason's Dakar GoFundMe reach its goal.

Thank you itchy boots for making us Moto medics look good. It was totally awesome riding with you! You are an excellent rally rider and it was a pleasure meeting you.

Noraly's first rally breaks the back of the bike, next rally she breaks the front of the bike, and her microphone. She's a keeper riding for all she's worth. Just awesome riding.

Adventure -> friends -> danger! - > beautiful desert -> broken! -> overcoming challenge -> support -> get it done! -> look out for others -> back on track -> FUN! -> success -> Let’s GO! A little worried by the teaser, hope you are OK!

🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹

Two episodes ago you had never used a roadbook, now you are helping others. Even though you are all competing against each other its great to see the camaraderie.

Wow this was probably the craziest first stage you could have ever gotten. So excited to see the rest of the series

You are a much better rider than you give yourself credit for ... you kick ass.

Uh oh! Keep yourself safe and in one piece Noraly! Your videos are too enjoyable for us to do without! Thanks and take care.

To all that made this race possible for Noraly: Thanks and well done! There must be a lot going on in the background for a race like this. A race is a Team job and you don't even get the silt, dust, cactus needles and racoon eyes. Merry Xmas!

Its not about wining the race, its about finishing

If you wanna have shoulders like Noraly you have to ride in the sand. Love from Lompoc, California

WOW!! Tense moments! Stage 1 was total frustration with situations that were out of Noraly’s control. But Itchy Boots always moves on! That’s why I just love watching! Can’t wait for the next episode! Thanks Itchy Boots and also to her friend Mandy who I’m sure contributed to a lot of the footage and photos!

Proud of you Noraly, how much you have progressed since your early days on the Royal Enfield. Amazing. Brings tears to an old man’s eyes. 😃👍

So kind of you to be worried about a missing fellow rider....awesome riding 👏

WE are all incredibly proud of you Noraly 🤗

Finding the starting line was like trying to find the right office at a border crossing.

You just gotta love Noraly's passion for geology & nature! It's rally racing and still has the time to recognize a nice scenic views. We'll see you at the finish line!

Look at you Noraly. Day #2 and you are already helping other riders get ready at the starting line. Agree with the other comments, to finish is a huge accomplishment in itself. Good Luck!!

The ending shocked me, you did fall, I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly. Get well soon, we're with you!

The bike tower and other components can be replaced, but Noraly is irreplaceable. Take care, be safe, and have fun! ✌

I've never really been interested in rallies but now I am! This was so fun to watch, pretty intense but seems like one of the most exciting challenges out there. Can't wait to see more!

What a great group you have there with you. Lovely Mandy, the legend Charly, and two great guys in Slade and Mike. Huge respect to you Noraly for putting your body on the line for your passion for rally racing. Super impressive.

The organisation guys are amazing, they help you before you even realise you need help! Such dedication to the sport!

Perfect. Including the portrets of participants 👍👍😀😀

Let's Go!!! Love your determination, enthusiasm and sheer optimism Noraly - nothing seems to get you down, no matter what life throws at you! (on camera anyway.) Great seeing Charlie, Mandy and fellow "Saffers" 🇿🇦 (South Africans) riding too. Stunning terrain, comeraderie and looks like a very well organized event. Kudos to everyone for making this another great event/series to watch. What a cliffhanger, looks like a nasty fall ... hope your OK???

WoW, I never knew desert rally racing was so technical. What an incredible challenge. I am rooting for you..GO Noraly!!!!!

Well, that looked like a pretty considerable wipeout there, Noraly, glad you didn’t suffer another injury. The physically tough aspect of rallying is appearing here now. Again lots of help and support along the way is a comfort for those of us concerned for your wellbeing. You still haven’t lost the zest for life that keeps all of us viewers locked onto this channel. It seems that keeping a running commentary while fighting the terrain is more difficult during these battles. Stay strong Noraly, we all want you to get as much out of these experiences as possible. You ROCK, Girl…❤❤❤Rick

Such a "never give up" attitude. Inspirational as always Noraly.

Great job Noraly with your usual confidence but humble and helpful to your fellow riders. Be safe and continued success

I watched every single one of all your videos, some of them twice, an you impress me every day more and more! Keep save, please!

Noraly from episode to episode becomes a veteran pro, even in appearance ... I can not wait 2 days for the next episode. Continue to excite us with your adventures, your positivity is so... great and pleasant!!!👍👍👍

Hope you were OK... didn't like seeing you on a stretcher! I would never doubt your courage and endurance, though. Bet you bounced right back! Happy trails.

Getting really good at scaring the hell out of us Ms Boots.....Thanks for that!

I was over at Charly's channel and saying GO CHARLY. Now I'm here at Noraly's channel yelling GO ITCHY GO! lol

What a surprise having Mandy there to help, video, and support you Noraly. Mayhem, Murphy, and Fubar showing up didn't help you. Cactus in the hand, tower problems and that Alpha was taking a dirt nap in the teaser ... Gladyou did all you could to finish the first stage. Cannot wait to watch the next stage or two. Take care and have a good time where ever you are.

WOW, kid! Deeply appreciate you taking us with you! You still take the time to upload even after racing. TOO COOL, YOU!

Intrepid, persevering & helping others - all the best traits one can have! It's especially heartwarming to see the camaraderie among you all - what a tremendous community you belong to! Thanks to everyone for sharing in Noraly's adventure & safe riding to all!

Noraly your will and determination are legendary, your concern for your fellow riding buddie has shown your big heart. This series is going down as one of the best in my opinion. Ride it like you stole it! I cannot wait for the next episode.

Absolute mad respect! In awe of your perseverance, self-reliance & problem solving while also filming and keeping a positive mindset. Salute you Noraly! You are an adventurer and explorer of great grit & skills.

Digging this rally series! Not to slight your brilliant travel work but the competitive element & all the other riders makes this a whole different game. Way to persevere through the challenges & get some excellent results on stage 2

Noraly's videos are unbelievably exciting. I can't wait for the next.

You are "killing" it Noraly. High adventure is not for the novice. You got this. Man....I love your spirit.

We appreciate Itchy Boots for their dedication and hard work. God bless them all.

So much respect and admiration to your love of life and adventure, Noraly. Following your Baja rally race. Enjoy and stay safe!

Love that you included all the class riders. Brett Fox is a stand up dude that is absolutely pushing those big adventure bikes

Noraly, it is a Great video on the Baja rally and it is very nice to see your friend and another famous motorcycle adventure traveller, Charlie Sinewan is also taking part in the rally.

Exhilarating to say the least. The scenery is beautiful down there. Your training is paying dividends. Stay tough Noraly. We are cheering for you!

Can't tell you how much I am loving this Rally series! Can't wait till Friday!

Noraly, thanks to you I became a motorcycle maniac after 60 years. You did it, I wish you success in the race. Greetings from Istanbul.

😎👍👍👍WOW really impressive. I beginning to believe it, You are in your Element!! GO GIRL your a champ no matter what else happens. ❤❤❤

What a day of racing! You never know what’s around the next bend or over the next hill. Glad the paper Road Book served you well. You never give up and that’s very admirable! Thanks for sharing your Baja experience! Ride fast and ride safe Noraly!

This is really exiting. You go through a lot in this Rally, Navigation tower breaks, you crash, there is a lot to keep track of. Great to see mandy helping you again 👏👏👏. Greetings from Denmark😃

Well done Noraly! I love how you all take care of each other.

Beautiful place! Incredible Itchy Boots! Noraly you’re the best 🇨🇷

Bad luck with the tower but what a great recovery on day 2! Good luck going forward!

aahhhh dont leave us like that! the scenes from the next episode made me scream NOOOOOOOOOOO at my screen! hope youre ok and were able to finish the rally!

How exciting Itchy Boots! Living Life to the fullest at every turn. 🤙😁🎉💥💪💯You go Girl! We all love & support you.

This has given me inspiration to do a rally run

Until the last second and the cliffhanger clip, I really enjoyed the episode. Heck, until Friday, I'll be tense, hoping for a relief! 😵‍💫🥺 Anyway, thoughts: I'll say it again here! Please all stand up for a La Ola for Mandy, who again helps making things possible and gets way too little recognition for it from the audiences! 🤗 Oh, and with all the cactus dive bombs you did lately, I kind of see a pattern developing there. Is there any overboiling sympathy or scepticism towards succulents in you? 😁 Good to understand Charly without subtitles foe once as well! 🥳 Now it's waiting for good news after the bad ones on Friday. 🥴 Another anyway: 😍🤗

I hope I just forgot to hit send when I wrote my comment but I just wanted to say...What an awesome 2 stages. You accepted the challenges as only Noraly does...full speed ahead. I thought your acknowledgement of all the participants was first class. I know the tower failure was a hard one but you didn’t quit! Incredible perseverance! I thought, how cool is that...Noraly was able to help her fellow racer with some roadbook suggestions. You are unstoppable and we appreciate you taking us along for the ride!

Very fun adventure today! Some mishaps but you overcame all of them with a smile on your face and with it new friends! Baja is awesome! Let's Goooo!

20 hours of penalties due to the broken tower. That might be a record for the DLBF* stage trophy. The way you adapted to the paper Road Book was impressive. *Dead Last But Finished, it was a cherished trophy back in the day. Most impressive is the way your videos are never about you. They are you experiencing the world. You are the Vessel, the places and people you encounter are the flowers. You nurture them so well and present them to us in full bloom.

I watched full of admiration. It is. An adventure, but also a big challenge. I can imagine what kind of fitness one must have.

You are LIVING the LIFE Noraly.. congrats on the first few stages...

Proud of you exploring/riding out of your comfort zone. But quite frankly, you traveling the world on your cycle is outside of my comfort zone. 😊

I love that you are doing this! You are inspiring another lady to get out and adventure! Thank you for posting!

This is so exciting! Great to be a part of the rally. Sending you lots of Energy for safe riding. ☮️❤️😎

It’s so cool to be part of something like this. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Looks like you are having the time of your life, enjoy ! Have fun and be safe.

That was CRAZY to have the tower holding all that weight on the such a FLIMSY fastener. Inexcusable to who ever set that up.

Exciting stuff! Go Noraly! Go South Africa 🇿🇦

Love how you overcome problems, and get help from all these great folks.

Great video I’ve never seen a rally video point of view like this truly amazing

Sorry to see the teaser about your off, and what looks like maybe a broken collarbone? Up until now you've done fantastically! You should be proud. Pretty much anyone and everyone who's ridden bicycles or motorcycles for a long time has had a broken collarbone. Join the club, me too. Hope it's not too serious but really big bummer about having to possibly leave the rally and the delays for your upcoming plans. On the bright side they don't take forever to heal, and at least for me, after the first week not much pain. Best to you Noraly!

Absolutely worth the wait Noraly! Those overland layouts of the routes are fantastic - never seen anything like that before watching Lyndon Proskitt ride many rallies. Forgetting to buckle your helmet! NOT GOOD! Anyway day one was a learning experience and it paid off with a fantastic (rookie) time on day two and you even were helping out other rookies get their equipment set! We see you have already charmed all your competition - I hope they are prepared to be beaten...

Love seeing you ride in the rally

Who dares, Who dares herself and also does it? *Noraly* 🤩👍 I thank the bravery when I also get to see racing driver Noraly # 27🏁

haha you don't do things easy do you Noraly, well you are in the deep end now with the paper road book, but I know you will adapt and overcome, you are a warrior Queen! Safe riding and all the best xoxox

I wasn’t going to bother watching you do the rally…your travel videos have been what I really enjoy. But I dipped in and whoa…how wrong I was! I’m hooked .

Nice to see your vids are back, thank you Norally

What I’m wondering is if we’ve been missing the amazing/crazy/funny facial expressions seen with every bump and pothole that have previously been hidden by a helmet….or whether they only appear when Noraly is driving a car? 😂

Could a RU-vid video get any more exciting? Unbelievable. First thing, we are so proud of you Noraly! Second thing, it looked pretty scary there at the end I hope so much you are all right.

I loved when you told him to reset his Odo. And he had no idea how to do it😎

Noraly, (although you mentioned about the extra weight of the roadmap on your handlebars), for me, having the screen moving with the bars makes more sense to my eyes! You are a courageous wonder and we all love you 🥰 Go girl!

That desert never saw you coming! Best of results!!! *Slap a cactus for me...well maybe not lol 👉🌵

You always impress me Noraly . You are a thinking racer ...concerned about other racers and giving it your all . I'm betting the further you go in the race the more you will lock down your skills . Have a blast Noraly ...make us proud ! WFO Girl ! PK

You are living it. You always roll with the difficulties with a great attitude. Things happen. We can't control what happens but we do control how we behave. You do this wonderfully. Best of luck!

I’m so glad I’ve got Itchyboots back again on another gripping adventure. If you think back on Norely’s early encounters with sand in her Southern African series, you can see in todays video how her skills have improved. Wonderful.

It is always an adventure riding with Noraly!!!

I love the world tour stuff, but it's awesome to see you cross over into the rally world. Nice work and great video!

Ah our Noraly is such a gem! I would be completely demotivated and sulking after that Stage 1 and the technical problems... What does she do? Big smile 😁, rise and shine and ace Stage 2 plus helping fellow riders out. Woohoo! When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I need to find somebody with such a good spirit to increase my chances of survival... 🙃 Outch... That cliffhanger does look scary. 😬

Thanks for sharing you're enthusiasm with the world!!

Boy that sand riding looks tough. Take care it can throw you in a split second. Cheers and stay safe.

Oh dear,,I wonder what life would be like if it wouldn't ve been for a start following itchy boots three and a half year ago. Can't even think about it. And you see how much difference it has made into all booters lives,,🤣. Loving it all, keep riding and stay safe 👍

Thinking your videos is just amazing going through America and you go and do this fantastic, inspiring video series!! Best on RU-vid all categories 👏💪👍

Nothing fazes our Noraly! Always cheerful, always smiling, what an inspirational person! In these challenging times when at least in Europe, most of us are dealing with unpleasant politically created challenges like ridiculous energy costs, rising food prices, fear of WW3 and the MSM news everyday is somehow always bad, our Noraly is out there to remind us that at least we have our bikes! I would vote for her as an international ambassador for peace, common-sense and hope any day!

Oh man, all different types of challenges. Noraly overcame all of them like she always does. Great race footage!

Second day ever racing with a road book...You start by giving good advice to another rookie and finish having taken no time penalties. When finishing alone is amazing, finishing like that is astonishing!!!

Oh man, I just saw you lying on a stretcher!😧 I hope it wasn't too bad! Really good riding though, Noraly! 👊🏻✊🏻
