dunefreak Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Pete, we should get 3 peeps on quads, 1 for each letter "D D R" and do a night long exp on a slope, all 3 quads synchronized ride the letter shape and turn off lights, A big DDR light trail photo. None of us are usually sober enough at night to do all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand chick Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hey Mike and Jodi. Here's your backside picture. I just knew you would get us a backside pic!!! Awesome pics! I am glad you guys got to do some more exploring in the dunes back there.. so pretty tight and technical dunes?? Looks like about the same amount of crowds as last year. The injuries suck.. glad everyone wasn't hurt too bad! Next year for shizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hill is way steeper than it looks. But first you gotta actually GO on one of these trips to find out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand_YFZ Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) I don't know. That hill is way steeper than it looks. But first you gotta actually GO on one of these trips to find out though! Ya the face is really steep.You would probably have to regear.My gearing for what I usually run at Dumont was about 2 teeth off on the rear.Not to mention the 5000ft of elevation.Its a big big difference in performance from Dumont.The face is 12mph slower than Banshee hill.Watch this run up the hill Tara recorded and how slow it looks like im going. http://smg.photobucket.com/player.swf?file...p;os=1&ap=1 Edited May 27, 2009 by Sand_700R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertskyz Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looks like everyone had a great time despite the injuries. I love that tree pic. Really shows how the sands can move. "As the Sands Blow" (where is Bob anyway) I would love to due some summer duning, but I'm not in control of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand_YFZ Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Soooo what was the duning like on the back?? Details.. details.. details!! The dunes out back are really nice.They arent small and technical they are medium to big hills that you can really go thru fast.They flow really well.I was impressed.I thought the dune rides we went on were comparable to the fun at Dumont IMO.They arent all AS big but its pretty damn good.

Jakster884 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I Will post my one handed reply. Regardless of the handicapped parking spaces me and Pete picked out and the 640 mile trip each way. That place rocked. . Worth every mile. New place to dune and it Rocked. Pete and Anna thanks for the help and My girls loved to hang out with you. I will be hearing Anna Questions for a month. The dunes were great to ride. We arrived Thursday at about 3PM and rode from one end to the other at least 4XS. Kick Arse. . Had killer trails for the ranger and just about every toy you could mention. It was kool to have the variety and options with sand included in all of them. I had my last run Sunday afternoon not because I said before the ride but because when I came back I was all broken. I planned one last one after after returning but it was a trip to the Nephi ER. I came over the top of the 700FT mountain after a killer run with Chad. Well obviously the only way back was to come over and down. I cut across the very top and thear slide from under me. I went flying like superman with a double roll. The QWAD rolled over me twice. Yes I was wearing my helmet or I probably would not be posting today. This is enough for now.I will keep my Healing posted. Thanks for the help Also Chad. Had a great time Riding and will return. Arron great meeting you and Tara. We will return for kick off in October. JJ and family good riding with Yall :atc: :atc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadwick Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Pete and Anna... You guys rock for letting me be your third wheel for the trip. I cannot begin to thank you enough! I keep talking about what a kick a$$ time I had to friends and family and want to go back again in the very near future! Thanks so much Yes I'm a very light sleeper and you will never get me with eye liner or a sharpie for that matter I felt pretty bad for Tara as she was her brains out!! I was wondering the whole time if that cup she was into would fill up and spill on my head as I was sleeping! But she held strong all night long. Aaron.. your is pretty foul! Funny as hell! Great tearing up the dunes with you once again! Jack... dude that was some bad luck about your shoulder! :ah: Sorry about that and I wish you a very speedy recovery! Great to meet you and your family and hope to go somewhere with you again very soon! :porn: All together that was just the vacation that I needed!

dunefreak Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 stop it guys I'm sitting here holding my broken azz rib in pain from laughing so hard. Dammnit "ya fuggin TORTURE CHAMBA!!!" <-- Ya freakin d*ck knuckle you! Soooo what was the duning like on the back?? Details.. details.. details!! I thought I already covered that. It was awesome! No really, the duning in back of Sand Mtn is great. Like Aaron said- it is very similar to the fast lines and large dunes of Dumont. It doesn't go as far as I thought, but White Sands goes forever! The dunes in the back are maybe as long as Dumont is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand_YFZ Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Although wrecking isnt funny hearing your story about the wreck was hilarious.How you tried to bunnyhop the rock :ah: and ate it.Then no one came to help you up .Then how you squirmed out from underneith it and threw your broken flag .Then you fire it up and haul a$$ up the hill anyway That was awesome You know what I just realized.Everytime our group broke off on there own for dune rides someone came back hurt. Speaking of which Jak I hope you heal up quick.Did you guys happen to see any dune deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the lack of ettiquette up there. NOBODY came to help me. Yea I agree, the story was a little funny (especially with me still hitting the hill after getting hurt), but if I ever see a fellow duner go down I always go check on them. Everyone just sat and watched my wounded azz try to get up. F*ckin Utah A-HOLES!!! I'm just glad I didn't get hurt worse. My ribs are still hurtin pretty bad, but I'm gonna wait it out. Jack, glad to see you finally able to post up. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
