UTVUnderground.com and Mad Media tapped our friend, championship UTV and Pro-Lite racer RJ Anderson to pilot our 2014 Polaris RZR XP1K machines, and together we put down a dream list of stunts and tricks that we could stich together into a single, over-the-top video.

“XP1K2” is a seven-minute onslaught of intense off-road road action, set in a massive 600-acre forest near Mt. Baker, Washington. The video stars Off-Road Racing Champion RJ Anderson, driving a custom Holz Racing built Polaris RZR XP 1000 Side-by-Side (SxS), complete with a Polaris ProStar® 1000 Muzzys Performance engine and custom Walker Evans Racing shocks. The “XP1K2” crew, including Tony Vanillo and his team of dirt and ramp engineers at the Off-Road Management Group, transformed the remote wooded location into a stunning array of creative obstacles, which included more than 20 natural terrain and man-made works of (terrifying) art. Spoiler alert – RJ Anderson reclaims the world record for a distance jump in a SxS – and does so by clearing a death-defying 100-foot gap!
“XP1K2 The Story” is a behind the scenes look at the making of XP1K2. See how The Martelli Brothers, Mad Media, UTVUnderground and RJ Anderson all came together to make the most progressive and intense off-road video of all time.

UTVUnderground.com had the honor of once again working with off-road racing champion RJ Anderson in building him a custom Holz Racing built Polaris RZR XP 1000 Side-by-Side (SxS), complete with a Polaris ProStar® 1000 Muzzys Performance engine and custom Walker Evans Racing shocks. In this BREAKDOWN, RJ gives us the low down on his new 2014 Polaris RZR XP1000!
“XP1K2 The Directors Cut” is a five-minute barrage of intense action, outtakes, alternate angles, and behind the scenes shots that have never been seen before now. The Martelli Brothers (Matt and Joshua Martelli) hand selected and edited this rare footage to an over-the-top industrial soundtrack by Paul Oakenfold and XZIBIT.
“XP1K3” is five-minute full throttle, turbo powerd, mind bending, off-road thrill ride through the most unforgivable obstacles imaginable. RJ Anderson fearlessly attacks massive jumps, high speed drifts, and treacherous man-made terrain in his custom 200 horsepower Polaris RZR XP Turbo. XP1K3 was produced by motorsports production powerhouse Mad Media in the post apocalyptic dystopian decay of abandoned steel mills, old factories, and train yards...and features an array of massive obstacles spread out over six locations in Youngstown, Ohio. Shot in stunning 4K resolution!
RJ Anderson is constantly driving on the edge of consequence in the XP1K series. XP1K3 was no different. The "Sound and Fury" edit brings that consequence to life giving you a behind the scenes look at the crashes and failures when testing a scene!
The foundation of the XP1K franchise is and always will be the Polaris RZR platform and because of that we always like to give you an inside look into the building of these one of a kind XP1K machines. Keeping RJ safe is always priority #1 when building these machines, next is the cool factor and that means looks, horsepower and performance. All of which makes this RZR the ultimate off-road machine! More than a year of planning went into the development and execution of the “XP1K3” campaign. It took the build team of 15, more than a month to weld, stack, cut, bend and fabricate the custom playground with multiple obstacles. The Mad Media crew of 40 then spent 14 days on location battling dust, rust, rain, mud and fog to capture each of their incredible imagined obstacles.
This time around, RJ Anderson lays down a massive barrage of gravity defying stunts in his highly modified 2017 Polaris RZR XP® Turbo EPS UTV. RJ fearlessly attacks massive jumps, whoops, high speed drifts, and treacherous rocky terrain. XP1K4 was shot in the stunning Southern California mountains east of San Diego as homage to the birthplace freestyle motocross. Tony Vanillo and his team of dirt and ramp engineers at Off-Road Management Group brought the insane obstacle course to life including the updated version of the treacherous “Wall of Death” and a massive ramp to dirt backflip.
