Awesome post!

Don't know why it posted from my old account ugh ^^

A fellow duner found my GoPro and contacted me! Another reason why I love Dumont - the community is awesome and it's great that so many of us are always looking out for each other

Thanks White Rhino! Have a great time out there - hope you guys get some wind&grooming

Lost a GoPro today 12/28/15 at around 11:00AM somewhere on the back way to Comp. If seen or found please contact me at (818) 512-1555 !!! Had some awesome footage on there and really want to get it back

Out here since yesterday. Our group has really diminished over the years... So I need new people to ride with. If you see a girl in hot pink riding pants on a black&orange raptor or driving a green&black RZR say hi and let's ride!

If you read my post I did write that it was our mistake for not having the bike's registration. It was not my brother's fault...the bike technically belongs to my dad (but I ride it) since we are lucky enough to be able to be supported by our dad while we are in school. We are 22 year old twins.. He had no way of knowing that the bike did not have registration on it.... My brother did tell the officers this but I am guessing they have heard many laundry lists of excuses and I understand that they were skeptical but holy moly they could have given him the ticket and sent him on his way not start harassing him. We recently moved and the registration for ONLY that bike had not been changed to the new address. ALL OF OUR OTHER TOYS ARE REGISTERED AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Sand car...Teryx... all of our two wheelers... My dad made an honest mistake on this and my brother was respectful to the officers and they were out of line... end of story. Could he have got a pass on the way in? Yes... obviously. And he put himself at risk for not having it during our trip out there THURSDAY-SATURDAY but obviously we were not trying to not pay or anything like that. PLEASE READ AGAIN! The tail lights ARE LEGAL. You are not reading my story correctly.... My brother specifically bought legal tinted tail lights to not do anything against the law. Reason for using cash? They said that they would not accept his American Express to purchase a pass... So yeah he had the cash on him. The only reason that all of this ticked us off is because I have seen literally HUNDREDS of out of control duners who think that it is okay to drink and then get in a sand rail, ride a quad, etc.... IT IS NEVER OKAY!!! EVER. It just seemed like they were taking a little bit too much time trying to find something to write him up for when they could have been stopping all of the drinking and driving that happens on a holiday weekend. My brother never gave them attitude and he could have easily denied them of their request to search his truck but he allowed them to do that... They did not have any probable cause to search the truck.. So whatever...Bottom line I posted this to let everyone know that things are changing around Dumont and to be more careful with following all rules and regulations. I actually know people who make fake Dumont passes to avoid the fees.... So trust me when I say that we are very law abiding Dumont riders. HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE.

Too far ** grrrr...

So we just headed home a couple hours ago and on our way out we had some trouble from the BLM. We arrived early Thursday morning and there were no rangers when we arrived. On our way out my brother stopped to buy a pass and the BLM began circling his truck and trailer... He has a Chevy and is towing our quad and Teryx on a flat bed. They began questioning him on registration for the quad and Teryx... Honestly our mistake for not having our registration tags on the quad so they wrote us a ticket but then the BLM took it to far... They spent 5 minutes examining the hundred dollar bill that my brother used to pay for the pass because they thought it was fake. They asked my brother if he was intoxicated to which he responded that he has been sober for over 90 days and even showed them his sobriety chips. They called him a liar and made him take a field sobriety test and AFTER determining that he was indeed sober they said they would be nice and not impound the quad if he agreed to let them use a drug detection dog to search his truck. WTF?!! So after yet more searching and using their dog they still came back empty handed when they found nothing in the truck. Then they questioned my brothers tinted truck tail lights.. He had to pump his brakes for them and told them he installed LEDs to make sure the tail lights were legal. They then again said they didn't believe that he was actually sober and sent him on his way. As someone who has been coming to the dunes since I was an infant this just seems ridiculous. Anyone else remember the days of free entry? I am ok with supporting the dunes but that just seemed like an abuse of power... But I was happy to see a watered and freshly grated don't road on the way out:)

Suspensions unlimited 500HP LS2 V8 with long travel

We are looking for a new shop for our suspensions unlimited rail. Does anyone have any great shops in Simi Valley, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, or Moorpark? Willing to go out to Ventura if I have to. Thanks

I've only been to the North Pole. Where is the South Pole?

Some duners don't have the luxury of having a big rig to leave their pup in while they ride! Even if you do, if you aren't running your air conditioning and keeping your dog cool it can be dangerous to your pup. I love dogs so much and have a lot of experience with them. If you happen to be in the dunes when I'm there and you need someone to check up on your dog, hang out with your dog while you go out and ride, anything...I am here to help! While being in Dumont is always so exciting for a dog, they still need regular and intense exercise. I would love to take your dog on a little jog around the dunes, they always love it. Also, it is always a big problem around holiday weekends when there are a lot of fireworks....dogs can get scared and run away I have had my dog run away before...luckily some nice duners returned him. Sometimes cell service isn't great out there but ALWAYS have your phone number on your dog's tag! And always have them microchipped! My cell is (818) 512-1555 and my phone works in the dunes. I will post the next time I'm out there and feel free to reach out to me
