This past weekend new products, shows, and loads of four-wheelers were all concentrated at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California, for the 2022 Sand Sports Super Show. Many major manufacturers and dealers had new ATVs or UTVs to drool over and hundreds of aftermarket vendors showed attendees unlimited customization possibilities. Whips, lighting kits, tires, wheels, CVT belts, winches, fenders, gear—you name it and you could likely find it under the hundreds of pop-up tents or in one of the buildings/pavilions. Giveaway sign-ups were around practically every corner and swag bags were handed out left and right. Audio systems were pumping out every jam imaginable from classic rock to today’s hip-hop. Let’s not forget about the sensory overload of roaring engines and flying shreds of rubber coming from the Fox Factory’s Proving Grounds.

If you missed this year’s event take a virtual tour via the photo gallery below. Block off the weekend of September 15–17, 2023, on your calendars because next year’s event dates are already set.
