Some pics of the Chris Brown production... Like I said previously.. I don't care who he is.. I just thought the whole production process was cool.. Its amazing to me all that work all that way to produce literally the last 30 seconds of a music video!! AND I REALLY FELT LIKE THE PAPARAZZI!!

Thank you! I have been riding for most of my life.. just not dunes and sand a great deal! Considering the fact that this time last year I was satisfied being last in a group and never getting out of second gear.. jump? NOOOO WAY! Roll a razor?? NOOO WAY!! I was scared of the dunes.. I was scared to do anything besides putt along in the smaller dunes on the way to the North Pole. I just kept trying new things, little bits at a time! I finally found someone (Cory KR350) willing to take the time and show me how to do things. I didn't have anyone really to ride with that was a "mellow" rider.. I wanna ride but I don't wan to slow everyone down, so bit by bit by bit last year I worked on different things! When we went out on off weekends and summer trips.. I would practice rolling razors on the finger dunes and the small dunes! Now I want to see what I can do with my quad.. starting with front "dune tires" The only thing that kept me from keeping up this time was turning ability!

I was ok with not knowing who he was as well.. I was just digging on the whole production thing! Spent all four years in HS being a Video Productions nerd! I was going to go to school to be a video camerawoman! But other things changed my priorities! I will get some pics up tonight...

Yes I noticed the skull right away too! :halloween: :porn: Not sure that Free Agent and us were at the same dunes.... we thought it was pretty darn busy out there for an off weekend.. there where more camps then kickoff.. and the other thing that we noticed was everyone was out in the dunes! There were several times on runs that we had to stop and check up for other crossing paths. The dunes were busy and peeps were out enjoying them. Most of the razors are gone.. there are still some there.. but there are several nice trails to choose from going to the Still alot of witches eyes.. I didn't ever make it to the other side behind comp, so I can't tell you what those were like! I had a blast out there.. just me and Mike... some visitors on Sat's day trip and Jill and Charle for evening bs sessions around the campfire. I have come to the conclusion that I am ready for my first upgrade ... front dune tires, no more knobbies.. I am having a hard time turning in 3rd and 4th gear! Following the boys on Sat mornings buggy run.. I was keeping up fairly decent.. until it was time to turn.. front knobbies kept grabbing and the rear was sliding and I wasn't turning worth a poop! It was a little warm out there.. not completely unbarable.. but toasty. We stayed until 2ish on Sunday and got in some awesome runs just the two of us! I can't believe Mike got me to lead a ride! THAT was a freaking BLAST!!! By Sunday the dunes were just as tore up as a busy weekend! Came back from the last run and watched a bunch of strange vehicles (for the dunes) pull up right next to us... they drove all the way out to Dumont to film literally the last maybe 30 secs of Chris Brown's new video.. it was interesting to say the least! Watching him lip synch and jump around the flats :porn: But I like the whole production thing, so I really thought that was interesting! Got some good pics on Mike's good camera! It was great meeting you Ace5Oh! Adrian next time flag us down for a dune run It was just a quiet, fun, exhausting, relaxing, surprise we are going, perfect little dune trip! And those are the BEST! Thank you again Mike! Pics after work!

And take your lunches to work instead of eating lunch out everyday!

Budget food shopping.... make a list and stick to it! I can feed a family of 4 on $60 - $70 a week! And eat healthy foods! Work my a$$ off and get a promotion Stay home on weekends.. we never go out or very rarely do.. so instead of blowing a bunch of cash at the bar on off weekends, we have extra cash to hit the dunes! And nothing is better then cuddling on the couch watching a movie with your :beer_bang: ones!! Instead of buying $60.00 worth of Pizzazz food.. PB and J's and Tuna keeping the food budget cheaper on dune trips means we can make a couple extra trips this year! I trade Pizzazz food for a bonus dune trip anyday!! Cutting back to bare minimums on just about everything! Gave up the little extra luxuries such as having my hair colored $135 or more every month or every other month goes a long way towards dune trips... Everytime I go to spend some $$$ I think "Do I REALLY need this? Is this REALLY necessary?" THINK before you buy! Mike and I's biggest love is duning... so we give up a great deal of other luxury items to make those trips! We get alot of crap for it sometimes.. don't really care.. we are doing what WE love to do and its a darn good thing we both love the dunes or it would never work!

Nothing unsupervised children do these days surprises me anymore! Alot of parents treat their kiddies like adults at a young age these days! And then we sit around and wonder how these things happen. I just hope and pray that he is ok! And that this doesn't go bad! :praying: :praying: :praying: -
Just kidding! Congratulations! And the fact that you share a common interest is a HUGE help when it comes to relationship time! Hopefully we will get to meet her at Dumont! :beer_bang:

sandchick's employer Yeah.. I hope you didn't pay $$$$ for your tickets! I had four all access passes sitting on my desk, but no one to go with... so guess where they are still sitting!!!!!!! I could have given them to you! AWESOME pics guys!

We have had one in camp before for our own usage though.... makes for some good time laughs!
-
I can't believe I am already having withdrawls!!!!!!!!!!! :ogp: Is it Halloween weekend yet????? 17 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found two blue riding gloves on my bike and two different times.... too bad they don't match... But if someone who was in our camp is missing just one of their riding gloves and they may have set it down on my quad.. I have them in the hauler... I think if memory served me right (don't count on it) one id a Fox and the other I am not sure of...

My Chevy H.H.R affectionatly was nick named the H.omo H.ot R.od the day I brought it home... it has stuck ever since! Now back to the topic!! We need more peeps stepping up to volunteer!! Come on.. last years was a blast!!!!

We can take the Homo to save gas, if we just go for the day... but hopefully Mike will be itching to go back out and make it for the weekend or an over nighter!
-
Thanks Chris I have been practicing! Everytime we stopped for a smoke break at Coral.. I found something in the vicinity to jump... since I don't smoke and now everytime I come up on something that looks jumpable.. I give it a shot!
-
You know you can count me in for helping out! Even if I have to do a day trip in the Homo!
