  1. fstteddy, yeah just pull up and park with the group. I added a map to this thread where we'll be camped. It's pretty easy...right off the road across from bathroom 10. The Buggy Roundup trip was great last year and I'm looking forward to it again. It did exactly what I was hoping for and that's to get a bunch of buggies together for a weekend so new and old friends can run together. It gives everyone a chance to meet some new faces which they might not have the chance to do on busier weekends.
  2. Probably Thursday, maybe earlier. This will be like a mini vacation for me and Anna Do it old man!
  3. It's looking like we'll have a great group again this year. Make sure you bring some firewood. If everyone brings some, we should have enough for a good sized fire.
  4. Whoa! Holy-floored-throttle jump in that Tatum! Let off! Let off! hahahaa nice air
  5. If the date has moved from the 23rd to the 9th, maybe the original poster should update the post. Getting a little confusing.
  6. ok cool. Hurry up and vote. I'm slackin this month
  7. Very cool you guys got it back up there. It's been a while. Good ole McFlurry tradition! That sucks people couldn't pay attention to more important things. I brightened up the shadows a tad for ya.
  8. So this year I was only able to head out for the day on Thanksgiving. I brought my mom & sister out for their first time to Dumont! We arrived and Krusty & Danny already had the two turkeys cooking in the ground. We went for a couple buggy rides throughout the day. The dunes were pretty tracked out and rough at times, but not too bad. The good thing about those conditions is it's super easy to navigate a line. Lots of options without having to think. The camp was a decent crowd but the dunes seemed empty. Maybe everyone was either cooking or eating? My buggy did great. After servicing the shocks recently, it handled much better. Time to start playing with the shim stakcs to dial in the rear now that I know how to overhaul them. My sister and mom loved the buggy. I didn't know how they'd take to it. We had our Thanksgiving day feast with the crew around 3:00. As always, I ate way too much. The food was awesome and those turkeys came out amazing. After dinner, we went for a "pie run" instead of our usual cocktail run. We stopped by and picked up painterjoe and we went on a nice, mellow run through the dunes. Didn't want to shake up all that food too much. It was probably a good thing we headed right out. We all probably would have taken naps instead. lol We cruised over to vendor row and I stopped at GTP Offroad to say hi to Mike, Jodi and Adam. Then we went back to camp for some pie, loaded up and headed home to work. It was a great day. Semi-short but very memorable. As Lou B said...quality/ not quantity. I'm looking forward to a long weekend out there for the buggy run. Here's some pics. Loaded up and ready for Dumont! We arrived and saw some cones and smoke....caution- turkeys cooking below Getting unloaded North pole...many people parked around the pole and started at it. It was pretty intense action as usual out there. Top of comp I spotted jalper in his new prerunner build. Car looked and sounded badass! Mom's first buggy ride! selife at the top of comp with mom Classic in car GoPro. One of the first pics taken with my new Silver Hero 4. Priceless! Turkey feasting time
  9. Here's a few pics to get the ball rolling. I'll post up some from my day trip on Thursday in a bit. It was an awesome day out there. Looks like a good turnout this year. There was already a good crowd on Thurs.
  10. They're pretty damn cool but I wouldn't go that far. lol
  11. It's looking like we'll have a good group this year! Awesome
  12. You're only as good as your equipment allows so I just added a new GoPro Hero 4 Silver to my arsenal of photography/ video gear. I'm keeping my Hero 2 as my alternate view camera. Should be more fun and a little easier now to make videos with multiple cameras. Stoked to use the new Hero 4 features. Gonna have to try it out at Dumont on Thursday!

  14. Just like most meet & greets, looks like everyone is too shy to want to say hi. haha I would join ya but I'll only be there for the day (on Thanksgiving) with family and won't have time to meet up. Post up a day & time and maybe people will join in. Usually we do them at the south pole at 2 pm on Saturday, but the south pole is becoming just as popular as the north pole so it's hard to tell who is there to meet from DDR and who just likes poles.
  15. Bummer. Get crackin, MIke! You've got a few weeks still. You can do it. Hope so too!
  16. I have a couple friends who have used it in their dual sport bikes. They claim it works well.
  17. There's an app a webpage for that. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/dumont_dunes_directions.html
  18. You just concentrate on getting out there, peaches. lol Fuggin stranger! Who are you anyways? Do you still go to the dunes?
