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.

no, it's a K&N with a billet adpater to mate up to the airbox opening for the carbs

Just wanted to post up the info for the next TRT meeting August 21, 2007 10 AM BLM Barstow Field Office Conference Room 2601 Barstow Road, Barstow, CA 92311 For more information call (760) 252-6000 Terry (ynot), any word on the topics at hand for this one?

Dave your starting to scare me. You know WAY too much about that poopd*ck band. :freakin_nuts: :freakin_nuts:

I can't wait for the show this year. Anna & I are leaving early afternoon Friday so we can get checked in to our hotel and get to the show on Friday when it opens. That way we can see most the stuff before the giant crowds on Saturday. Saturday is always good for checking stuff out, saying hi to some fellow vendors/ friends and doing some of this---> I hope I can find some new riding gear for cheap this year. I have the same riding pants from about 5 years ago still! :freakin_nuts: I paid 130 dollars for them so I'm getting every dollar's worth out of them still. :freakin_nuts:

Cheese, don't listen to ISBB- he never goes to the dunes away! ...and no, none of the peeps in our camp are flatbillers, the stereotype kind or not.

Should I rename this topic to "what is your definition of a "flat biller"? :porn: I don't even know what we are talking about anymore!

Awesome, that sounds like Chuck. :porn: Good times

Dave you aren't bitter at all about that whole situation are you? :porn:

It didn't work before for me either, but it does now. Sweet video....makes me wanna go duning! Where is that? Glamis?
