Crack your block???? Thats funny I would suggest doing it when warm. The heat helps loosen and dirt or debris from the motor and the water dries faster leaving less water spots/ etc. Just be careful where you use a pressure washer. Don't spray it on many electrical connections or underhood modules.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. We have them down to a science but choose to not do them anymore in our camp. They are just too damn dangerous. Luckily nobody has gotten seriously hurt yet, but there have been some major close calls. After my 30,000 dollar toyhauler almost caught fire because of flying buring debris landed on my awning I had enough. They really aren't worth it. Besides, it usually leaves glass in the sand that nobody picks up. Not cool.

thanks and your very welcome

Get over it and move on, Ken. There's a fine line of what we consider appropriate. If it was taken down, then it means that it wasn't considered ok. There are reasons why the rules are the way they are. PM me if you have any problems with them and I'll be glad to explain the difference between a humping banana smilie and your avatar you had posted up. I'm sorry, but this type of thing is sometimes hard for some members (like yourself) to understand what we mean.

ok Gerald..here ya go. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/passes.html#increase

Wow...badass car. Is that what you just bought? Give us some details. :worthless_without_pics:

OK that will be sufficient I suppose.

Well the fees are already posted on the homepage and the passes page. I was mostly referring to posting the reasons behind the increase and a little more info about the fees and the funding associated with them.

you need to wash that pos

Since questions of the entrance road and user fee increase keep coming up I think I may put together something on the site (maybe on the passes or info page) about why the fees went up, what your money goes towards, etc. That way when people ask on the forum we can just copy and paste that text or just post the link rather than having to post it all over again.

So what? I got home form the bar and wasn't tired yet so I had to post up about stupid chit like user fees and the entrance road.

I posted that last night, not today. But either way I have been in a good mood lately regardless. Last night I was hyper as hell for some reason when I got home from work. Thats where all that came from. Maybe it's because it was TT and I was fired up and ready for some . Who knows.

Are you kidding me??? wow

That seems like alot of work to catch ONE wave.

sweet! They are great trucks, Tim. Congrats.

hey fk you I was actually gonna put a 2 wheeler pic your your dumb chubacca helmet wearing azz in there but they all sucked! seriously though, I need GOOD pics of bikes in the first place to put in there in order to make that happen. I don't have that many. Besides, you gave up two wheels didn't you??? :beer_bang: thanks bro

1st off....here we go again but I'll continue to defend the BLM regardless 2nd....welcome to the site :beer_bang: 3rd...The entrance road, over the last few months of this season (in my opinion), has been in "above satisfactory" condition. They laid down some recycled asphalt in the summer of 07 because it was available and actually CHEAPER than the type 2 gravel that had been laid down in the past. Maybe you went down on a weekend that was before they ran the blade down it. Who knows. Either way, that layer of recylced asphalt was a good base layer for the road in the future. I'm sure it wasn't any worse than year's past or even worse...back in the day when you had to almost 4 wheel it to get to Dumont. My point is that you are traveling over a hundred or two (or even more) miles to get to an OFFROAD desination....why do you care that you have to travel down a dirt road that may be a little rough more a measly 3 miles? To actually answer your question of "what are we paying for"...that would be for BLM presence, medical staff, and maintenance like restrooms and road grading on the holiday weekends. The whole BLM spenditure breakdown is actually on the BLM website. I have the link if you would like it. Sorry if I may sound bitter, its just that all these questions have been answered in the past on here. You just have to spend a little more time reading and you''ll get your answers. Oh and the extra fees are not for better facilities or improved road conditions, they were actually increased to make up for lost funding that the BLM isn't getting anymore. So if you break your neck on a dune ride and need medical assitance on a weekend, you might not care you paid an extra 10 or 20 dollars to get in. The BLM is, more than likely, going to have medical staff there for you to get you to get you you safety.

Man you guys are horrible at planning on meeting up for a trip! wtf :beer_bang:

hooookaaay :beer_bang: That sucks, you guys. I was lookin forward to hangin out. Damn, Mike. Keep us posted on whats up with your car. I hope its nothing. Let me know and keep us posted when you find out.

Thanks everyone. I try. We gots to keep da barefoot bizzle episodes going. :beer_bang: What???? That post only took a few minutes to post. hahaaaaa fuggin big gay "energizer bunny balloons"! WTF!!! :shout: :laughoff: so whats yo pizzle? (point) You know "as the sand blows" will ALWAYS be going on, mofo :boyyy: good times..... goooodtimes I don't care how retarded I sound sometimes. It just too damn funny. The laugh factor is just that good. Mutha Bithezzzz!

Welcome to DDR. Banshee Wars is no longer from what I have heard. The race schedule for Four Stroke Association is posted here... http://www.dumontduneriders.com/events.html

I think you guys are missing his point that he will have a spotter. I don't think it's a good idea whatsoever to ride through the dunes w/o a flag, but if you are in an area where you have plenty of spotters I can't see how a ranger would really give you a ticket as long as you are being safe. Then again I have been wrong in the past on certain occasions about thinking the rangers were gonna be cool. :beer_bang:

see! :beer_bang: nice sweater vest!

DEEDLE DEE :shout: This week's "as the sand blows" brought to you by dunefreak. Oh so many things have happened as we rap up another week on DDR.... While redswr has a tight strong hold on his 2 tickets to the gun show, he shows everyone how much of a sport he is and how it doesn't get him down no matter how much chit we give him. Although he still needs a date from what I hear. Desertskyz can't figure out how her boots stay on and still can't spell but she relentlessly continues to in the shoutbox just to let everyone know she is alive. Richardcheese apparently wears fuzzy boots but it doesn't matter cause he is on the new header of the forum and thats all that matters to him. Racer X watches patiently over at the hill while the hillshooters continue to duke it out as to what a bolt on really is and what time they should race. Gazlay43 just wants everyone to stop calling him "Gaylay". The stripper pole has invaded Dumont Happenings again thanks to tylerthehucker wanting to add a stripper pole on his rear fender. Meanwhile, Sand Saw feels he is being picked on because he wants to talk about places like the lake. Wingnut's short visits don't stop him from his continued shananigans with creating new threads like "last person to post wins". We have found out that a thread about absolutley nothing with the prize being absolutely nothing for posting last which will never happen unless closed, has exceeded in entertainment value almost more than any other thread so far (except the stupid azz 3 word game). Does that say anything about our members? Funniest part about it: The Alaskan is gettin cocky about winning!! SinCityBlondie just wants to go look at big gay balloons , while Randog can only speak in IZZLE langizzle...I mean language. Dammit it happens to me too sometimes. SailAway continues to inform us of our sacred area's threats while indagully feverishly searches the internet for lizard information. That's the jist of this week until next time. Being Thirsty Thursday I think everyone is ready for a cold one so we'll have to continue next week. Now it's time to go the bar. :chug:

ohhhh ok. I see. I think I remember dealing that crap. That was right before when we said srew the rounded corners for now.
