Dick Brass passes away at 92. Legendary back country motorcycle rider. Scoped out trails for two or three of my annual Big Cat rides in the early aughts. I once watched him pull off the rear wheel of his Suzuki DR650 and patch the flat tire on some obscure single-track north of Montello, NV. SDT

The motorized single-track track community lost a legend yesterday.
Dick Brass (92) was a pioneer of the single-track trails in the San Raphael Swell and Chimney Rock.
Upon retirement from his job as a NASA Engineer, Dick moved to the desert to live in his camper to build & ride some of the most iconic trails we know and love. He built the Temple Mountain trail system, including the infamous 5 Miles of Hell.
In honor of his memory, the BLM is considering renaming the Temple Mountain trail system to the Dick Brass trail system. The UT OHV program, Sage Riders MC, and TPA support this.
Thank you, Dick Brass, for sharing your vision and enthusiasm with us!
