I don't think they planned on hitting everyone hard with tickets. I spoke with Larry Blaine a month or 2 ago and he said they would try to educate everyone about the new law first. They had a construction style sign at the entrance with a message about the new law, but I think they worded it poorly. It said something about OHVs require helmets as of Jan 1st. They should have specified side x sides.

Just a reminder. Helmets are now required in side x sides as of Jan 1st.

This thread gives me a giant headache!!!

Another great peep show!

ok we have a winner! FE135

That's such crap. I almost had mine impounded down there once because the same reason. Seems they don't care about what the OHV laws are in NV and make up their own rules as they go. Before, all you would need is an out of state permit sticker. This was a few years ago too- before OHV registration was even brought up.

I wasn't towing it from comp. We were in the dunes behind Banshee a couple dunes in and had to hit the wash/ flats to the north. We popped out just north of the superbowl.

Same here but how do you look before cresting a razor??? Sometimes you can ride the ridge and scope it out first, but some of the steep ones you have no choice but to just flop them and be extremely alert and ready. Luckily the couple close calls I had I was able to get a glance over the edge and 2 times it would have been ugly if I had gone over.

Vote now!

We're back home from Dumont. We pulled in Friday around 6PM and rolled out tonight (sunday) around 7pm. It was a great weekend out there despite a little cold weather every now and then. I had a couple very close calls due to the crowds. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again...I really hate holiday weekends. I swore I was done with them, but this trip was an exception due to extra good company to camp & dune with. On a positive note, nobody in our group got hurt and we had a killer time shredding those tore up dunes. We avoided the congested areas (comp hill) and never even went over there at night to party. We stayed in camp, cooked a ton of food, and had some good laughs. On one of the last runs today Jason (JVZ) busted his trans. Time to upgrade to a Mendi I suppose. I'm just glad I didn't break mine pulling him out of the dunes. I had to drag him around the dunes for a little bit before we made our way out. haha At least it broke towards the end of the weekend. We got alot of duning in and burned through plenty of race gas. It was hard to see Smokin Als buggy out there without him and then see the urn of his ashes that Brian & Nicole planned to spread. I wish we could have stayed longer to be part of it. Overall we really enjoyed our weekend and it was great to run into some DDR people too. Holidays are always good for that.

Better hope there is some wind soon. That place was tore up this weekend!

You forgot a price.

My brake pads have shipped and overnight delivery should have them here tomorrow morning according to the tracking. So I should have time to throw them on, load up then head out as soon as duniemonkie gets off work. I'm super stoked to get back out with the crew. RANDOG is finally making an appearance!

4? That's it? Hurry up. Voting starts soon.

Thank, Dale. Hopefully they'll get here in time. The cost of next day shipping was more than the damn pads themselves! Nice! Live it up, Saul. Were are you camped? I'll try and make it by at some point throughout the weekend. I'll be along the 2nd finger south of RR 6. (B8 on the grid map) Feel free to come by any time.

This weekend is looking better and better for us. I'm trying to get some brake pads for the buggy so we can make it out. Hopefully Kartek has some so I can hook up my front brakes again. Over the last trip, the left inner pad literally ripped off the backing plate when I was chasing Lou B around. So I rigged it up for now so I can still run with just rears. Just no crazy fast runs because I am used to having front and rear brakes.
