4th Annual DDR Summer Night Drags/Trip to Dumont

It's about that time and the annual DDR summer night drags/ night ride trip to Dumont is almost here! It will be the night of Saturday August 8th, 2009. Show up whenever you'd like, but most people usually get there about 7/8 PM as the sun is going down.

Past Trip Reports

For years now, the members of DDR have picked a date in the middle of summer to head out to Dumont for a sand fix. It's always a great opportunity to take advantage of the smooth sand with some other duners around. We all know duning in packs is always safer.

Banshee Hill is usually lit up with lights brought out by hill shooters and spectators. Some fast bikes always show up for some good racing.

Everyone is invited to come out. Note: This is not in any way a sanctioned or organized event put on by any other group or association, but rather just a "run what you've brought" good time in the sand with some other sand junkies. Most duners will be parked and camping either around bathroom 6 or at Banshee Hill.

So come on out and be part of this. If you have a question or would like to hook up with some other duners heading out, be sure to post up on the forum that you will be going. Have fun and be safe!

June 20th Night Drags

There was a huge turnout for the June 20th night drags at Banshee Hill. The hill was lit up for some very fast drag bikes that showed up. Riders gathered to race as some just sat back and watched the nighttime action. There was a constant breeze all night which made for very cool, comfortable temperatures. Later in the evening the temps were even down in the 70's. Not too many people ventured into the dunes, however for those that did they enjoyed the sand that much more. The dunes were virgin smooth everywhere you went and there were no lines in sight. The razors were steep and sharp and the sand was very soft. It was another great weekend out at Dumont. If you missed this night trip you should mark the next one down on your calendars. It will be the night of August 8th. Not only will there be a bunch of other duners heading out that night, but you can also look forward to a full moon that evening. See you in the sand!


June 12-14 weekend conditions

daytime temps 70's & 80's
dunes steep, soft, & unpredictable
attendance very few, maybe 5-6 groups total
Unseasonably cool weather for June allowed for some duners to get take advantage of some great dune time in June. The sand was super smooth and unpredictable at times. Temperatures were cool all weekend and even called for sweatshirts and pants at times. Not too many people were out there but a couple of camps.
