The title of this page is misleading; all Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ Riders are exceptional. However, each event is often highlighted by exceptional efforts that go above and beyond what Hoka Hey's intrepid riders have become known for.

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ is based on the Lakota Sioux principal of WOLAKOTA and the Event celebrates all that is pure and powerful in the warrior spirit. Riders who witness exceptional acts or attitudes based on these principals can nominate riders for recognition based on virtues like RESPECT, HONOR, INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, PERSEVERANCE and SACRIFICE.

The vision that started the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ was that of strong warriors who are ready to lead the way and to place themselves between those oppressed and those who would oppress. The objective is simple:

Raising awareness for social issues while sending Challengers through some of the most beautiful places in North America. Inspiring a willingness and desire to accept personal accountability with a sense of duty and principle; to cultivate wisdom, community and compassion and to display and foster respect, harmony, peace and friendship. Creating an army of warriors with the strength to face adversity; the character to make sacrifices and the desire to come to the aid of others in need. • Empowering others to overcome obstacles that have physically, mentally or financially challenged them and know they are not in it alone. We are the vehicle that's helps move them forward and refocus them toward success.

Selecting the top nominations for these awards is one of the hardest things the Board of Directors at the conclusion of each Challenge.

In recognition of their demonstration of these Core Values we’d like to acknowledge the specific riders who, over the years, have demonstrated the values of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™.
