'cause then, I mean, somebody else
might have the same problem you do

1:00:03
and they might quit.
1:00:04
But if you don't quit, you might win.
1:00:13
Among the original Baja racers.
Giving back is an unspoken tradition.

1:00:18
Baja has a magic to me.
1:00:20
I can be kind of sick
and have a backache and come down here

1:00:24
and ride my motorcycle and be free,
and I feel better right away.

1:00:28
I mean, the farther you get away
from the civilization

1:00:31
on these really back roads,
the more the magic is.

1:00:38
The back roads of Baja are endless.
1:00:41
And a beauty can be found
in the most unusual places.

1:00:43
Take Coco's Corner.
1:00:45
A kingdom built
from what's been left behind...

1:00:47
old beer cans
and bent motorcycle frames.

1:00:50
The unexplainable.
The bizarre. And the long-forgotten.

1:00:54
This is a place where a man's dream
only needs one leg to kick reality's rear.

1:00:58
Of course.
Coco wouldn't tell you anything like that.

1:01:00
Because for him. This is just his place.
1:01:02
And everybody is invited.
1:01:04
Okay, you can go inside
and camping, please.

1:01:07
Yes, this is free.
I no charge nobody.

1:01:09
Fifteen years ago.
Coco was a valet in Ensenada

1:01:11
when a car accident took his leg.
1:01:13
Soon after. Bound to a wheelchair.
His supposed friends took his self-worth.

1:01:18
I wanna stay in Ensenada.
And everybody, he close.

1:01:22
He said, "You too old, you sick. "
1:01:26
So that's why I come here.
1:01:28
That's why I open this place
13 years, seven...

1:01:33
So. Coco's Corner is
a ticked-off plan B.

1:01:35
Buy a little campground
just outside of nowhere

1:01:37
where the 1000 races past
every now and then.

1:01:40
And in time.
The pre-runners and pit crews stop by.

1:01:42
And Coco has 'em sign this book.
1:01:44
Write or draw.
As long as you make your mark.

1:01:47
Coco has created an off-road oasis.
A kingdom where nothing is disposable.

1:01:50
And the only thing that outnumber
the beer cans are his friends.

1:01:55
- How are you, my friend?
- Good to see you.

1:01:57
Thank you coming back again.
1:01:58
While he's never competed in the race,
