Nah, I haven't played with that toy since I was a kid. No thanks- you guys can have fun out there arguing whose little car is faster without me.

Well... this thread WAS cool. Now....

Here they are as jpegs (sometimes bmp's don't open for some) Friggin yeehaw!

Sweet pic Dan! Nice air.

Whats up Tim. I have a hard time paying for those shows at the prices they are on the strip. I have seen too many and wasn't too impressed. I'm not saying that guy isn't funny, but I have been disappointed too many timesat some shows on the strip. I WILL on the other hand meet up with you for some drinks before or after the show though.

Thanks Jim. I will look those over and use some of those tips when putting together the Dumont flyer.

Upper 80's/ low 90 at Dumont at night- yes. But you said it- with no sun. We were there in August last year at night and it was nice as hell. Coral will still be nice too, but in the middle of the day it can get a lil warm. It's too bright to dune there anyway during the mid part of the day. Thats what AC and beer are for.

Who said anything aout the FAA? He meant common sense. It's like this: race up on the right, go back down the hill to the left- no matter what PART of the hill you race. And yes most use that common sense rule ever since I have been going, but you'll always get a few knuckheads that decide to turn around and go right back down through a bunch of racers going up.

yep...mid 90's averages for Kanab, UT....

Nobody else? I'll add more to the list... 1. when you see a fellow duner sitting in the dunes, either stop or wait for a "thumbs up" to see if they are ok or need help. 2. Don't cut through someone else's line of quads/bikes/ sandrails. 3. Be considerate of any duners behind you when riding across the flats where there are rocks. Rocks hurt! 4. turn left at the top of comp after racing up 5. Do not wheelie where there are other duners present 6. Do not cone off the finger dunes especially with metal stakes or rebar.

It's not gonna be that hot at Dumont at night. Coral will be a little warm during the day that time of year.

As everyone started talking more and more about the flyer idea for Dumont, I thought it would be a great idea. Maybe we could have a flyer that had helpful information about Dumont like rules, dune ettiquette, tips on camping and riding there, maps, etc. It would be a great way to help educate the people of Dumont. Once we get enough info for a flyer together, I'll make it a pdf file or something that is printable from the website. Just like everyone said, this way everyone could print up as many as they need and pass em out to shops, people at Dumont, friends, etc. So....lets get a list of some general duning safety, ettiquette and tip ideas. here...I'll start with a couple 1. when you see a fellow duner sitting in the dunes, either stop or wait for a "thumbs up" to see if they are ok or need help. 2. Don't cut through someone else's line of quads/bikes/ sandrails. 3. Be considerate of any duners behind you when riding across the flats where there are rocks. Rocks hurt!

I'll give it a shot and see if I can whip something up, Vicki. Just let me know what needs to be on it.

awesome!

Yep, that was freakin awesome!

Yep I think that is the plan. Tim and Don are bringing theirs too. I'd like to get some nice early AM buggy runs in the next day. I'm not sure if I'll be out at night too much with it though. BTW, just bring your hauler.

night drags? never heard of em. I'll be out there though cruising some soft smooth sand with my car.

dumba$$! I hope it was worth it.

Almost there! We can see sand. Nothing like a beer at 6:30 am! unloading oh so sweet sand... @ the N pole resting after the 1st "Pastrana ride" Charlie trying to kick over Steveo's 450 He did it too! cool pic of the finger dune when the wind started to pick up around noon... friggin empty

All in all it was a great trip. The weather was about the same as 2 weeks ago when we went. It got up to about 100 degrees by noon. There was a nice breeze that kept things cool. Steveo & I pulled in about 6 am. The sand was smooth as hell (of course). There were a few big semi-trucks out there parked near vendor row area. We saw some EZ-UPs and cones set up in the back behind comp too. I thought that was kinda wierd. I guess they were filming something out there. We got some really fast rides in. We played bumper quads in 5th gear. It felt good to do that again. I had enough after the 1st two or three Pastrana rides though. The last ride was a nice easy ride back though. There were some giant tractor tracks and holes dug past bathroom 7 near the dunes. I think it was from recovering the sandrail 2 weeks ago that crashed out there. Those craters took me by suprise when I came up on them a lil fast. :ahhhhh: The entrance road still sucks bad, but there was some heavy equipment out there so maybe they'll start on the road soon. Neither ISBB or stalteri920 showed. Nobody crashed but there were some close calls! It was great to get to finally ride with my buddy, Brice and some of his friends. Great to see everyone out there. I had a blast. Pics to come....

Just past bathroom 10 on the left. (hardpack) Then care less if you could! j/k see you tomorrow am

your a$$ hurts

Come on! Ride Bert's Raptor. Like how I just volunteered his sh*t? When did we tell everyone that? I asked you when I was telling Tony and we said mayyybe 5 at the latest. I am leaving earlier since I am driving seperately in my truck. I say if you wanna meet up before we head out lets do 4:30 at the gas station this time. Leaving the gas station @ 5:00 put us there a tad too late last time IMO. And I'm not going through Pahrump this time. no way Everyone can leave when they want. The dunes will still be there at any time of day. Must we all drive with each other on the road?
