'Sporting and agile on-road and rugged and capable off it, this limited edition newcomer fits perfectly into Renegade's highly successful family.' Jeep unveiled the new Renegade Desert Hawk by towing one of the UK's top sandboarders through a series of stunts and tricks on Braunton Burrows sand dune, North Devon. British board-rider and instructor Alex Bird helped mark today's launch of the Renegade Desert Hawk by becoming the first participant in his sport to be towed by a car in the UK. In extreme conditions, the Jeep Renegade again displayed its famous off-road capabilities helping Alex to reach speeds of 40mph and negotiate several grind rail stunts, jumps and 90-feet sand banks. 'I've never done anything like that before,' says Alex, 34. 'It took time to get used to being towed at such speeds but I do a lot of wakeboarding and it was principally very similar. The car performed incredibly well on such deep sand; if it wasn't so good off-road there is no way I could have got up to 40mph and nailed the jumps and stunts.'
