unscripted adventure documentary

Inspired By History.
Driven by Curiosity.

Back in 1911, four men took their Model T up-and-over Donner Pass, off-roading in the snow. The old photos inspired us to buy an antique car. We’re taking our machine to the mountains to follow the original route: full send.

Along the way, we rally our car through dirt and snow, exploring how the landscape and technology have changed in Northern California. Each episode includes a stunt inspired by the original story, along with an expert guest that’s got strong opinions and an ironic perspective.

If these photos from the original Grass Valley 4 don’t get you stoked out, then you’re dead inside. We saw them and had to do something about it.
