That might be possible. I could just bring the 2 wheeler or the Raptor. I'll chat with you later about it. Thanks bro.

I have Verizon and my service works fine. Now my phone, on the other hand, is a giant piece of sh!&%$##(*@t!!!!

They also said questioned that bridge's design back in the SIXTIES because it's lack of supports.

Looks like it's coming along great, you guys!

OK, this time don't park way over in soft-ville! Let's park in the normal spot across from bathroom 10. Ynot is going and doesn't wanna have to worry about getting motorhome stuck. So hey, Don.... if you get there first, park in the spot where "if you look out of your winshield you can see bathroom 10, bathroom 6 out of your right window, and the 1st finger is right behind you....kinda like a triangle!"

I think we are gonna go to Jim's. (being cheap this week) Want directions?

I think it was yesterday when this happened. This is just horrible. My thoughts go out to the victims and their families. some videos http://youtube.com/watch?v=WOO_tCSL7Y8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=CzXNqIvTbg0

Actually it isn't too different at Dumont right now, but by the 11th it will warm back up a tad.

I was just using Gin at night as an example of how I "get effed up" AFTER the toys are put up at night. I also completely agree that alcohol is a problem at the dunes. It causes problem anywhere you go, especially with big crowds and horsepower.

I knew I'd get that response from someone. Even though you are kidding, I kind of resent that you would say that to me even in a kidding manner. I am the one in the group that usually reminds everyone to be extra safe and to not start drinking till later after the riding is over with. I did say in my post I wasn't condoning drinking and driving. Just because I am stating that I hear that more accidents and deaths are caused from inexperience, that doesn't mean I am defending the other cause of deaths and accidents, "drunks". Yes I understand there are some accidents in the past where alcohol WAS a factor, death or not. All I am stating is my obersvation from what I saw over tha past season at Dumont. I took the past few accidents/ death at Dumont that WERE from the 06/07 season and listed them as examples. I don't think there really were many other deaths at Dumont from the 06/07 season. That is pretty much most of them that I listed. and I agree! That is pretty much what I said.....

1st off, welcome to the board It's usually in the mid 90's at night and doesn't feel that hot at all without the sunshine. Most people usually hang and race up Banshee hill, but some of us might do some actual night runs through the dunes or to the N or S pole. We kinda just play it by ear ya know? I'll probably get there about 6 or 7 ish. I plan on doing 2 or 3 epic sunset buggy rides through some smooooth a$$ sand.

I'm sorry- I must disagree again. Take a look at the past few deaths at Dumont. None of them involved alcohol. 1) the 2 guys that died in the buggy over Halloween 06- neither had any alcohol in their system. They made a bad call of judgement to dune fast in that area of the dunes that time of day and unfortunately it cost them their lives. 2) the guy, Omar, that died while jumping the finger dune over Thanksgiving- was not drinking either and wasn't very experienced with jumping a quad and landed wrong killing him 3) the kid that hit the kiddie track/ wormhole over Veterans Day weekend I think it was- was not drinking but made a bad call to fly across the flats at night and didn't see the wormhole and crashed punturing his lung killing him 4) Over a year or so ago a guy flew off the top of the face hill (to the left of the opening to the whoops to comp) in a long travel. It was windy as hell and he didn't lift off teh throttle in time and flew right off the top killing himself and injuring his passenger(s) I truly believe that most the deaths at Dumont are by people who make bad calls of judgement. The terrain is much more difficult to read that other dunes like Glamis. The hills are taller and steeper and many people don't know how to safely drive on them. Almost every death I hear about at Glamis, however is usually caused by drunk driving. I have heard numerous times about people getting in trucks and duning them up big hills without being belted in, etc and rolling them and killing themselves or their passengers. Also with the added number of people at Glamis, i hear alot of drunk people in rails hitting riders on bikes or quads. You don't really hear about that kind of stuff at Dumont. Again, I am in no way condoning drunk driving or defending the people that drink and dune. When I drink at night, my toys are already put up and locked when my bottle of Gin starts to get emptied. I'm just stating what I hear and see at Dumont.

maybe my pick is worth some money then! :porn:

so nobody has one then????????

You sure about that Ross? j/k Seiously though, almost every accident I see or hear of is mostly because inexperience. Yes, alcohol plays a big part in accidents sometimes and I am in no way defending people who drink and drive, but more times I hear of accidents that are caused by bad judgement or lack of experience.

I'll tell ya what's GAY. Flying a little plane around the neighborhood instead! I heard that stupid high pitched thing the whole time while out was out workin on the buggy earlier in the garage. I was wtf is thaaaat? Oh....its just poopd*ck down the street!

no sweat

Good to hear Woody. BTW, I dropped off your truck today at dman's. Your paperwork is in your console.

I'm working on something for the site and need a picture of the big rig vendor, Hog Heaven, that is out at Dumont on the big weekends. Anyone have one? This is the only one I have and it won't really work for what Im trying to use it for.

ahh ok. They might have them in foam too I guess, but everyone I have eve seen is a K&N.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about? Becasue the pro-design filter setup IS a K&N with an outerwear. Or were you talking about a stock fit K&N setup?

nope. They fall off and you can't run without the airbox lid.

TRT (Technical Review Team): On March 1, 2006, The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Barstow Field Office appointed eleven members to serve on Dumont Dunes Technical Review Team (TRT), which advises BLM on the collection, expenditure, and accountability of fees, and development of future facilities and services. This TRT was established at the request of the BLM Desert District Advisory Committee. In short: the Technical Review Team members act as liaisons between the duning community and the Bureau of Land Management, which is the agency in charge of managing the dumont dunes. The meetings are with the TRT members and BLM to discuss issues and certain items that affect Dumont Dunes. The public is also welcome to attend. You can read some of the topics in this section of the forum (Dumont Issues) regarding previous TRT meetings to understand a little better of what goes on at them.
