This causes some very soft sand and some REALLY big witches eyes. It's dangerous as hell until you get some seat time and check out a few lines to ride. Be careful and lots o' luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful and lots o' luck Thanks, I've never hit a witch eye (knock on wood). I haven't been to Dumont in a few years (was away for college), but I have my new Raptor 700 SE that needs to see some sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of play cut mini desert trac's that are on Yamaha rims that I want to sell. They are great tires for duning and on the hill. If your interested let me know and i will get you some pics. These are expensive tires from the git go but the play cut is not as expensive as comp cuts so I will help you out on the deal.

buggymaniac Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I went to Dumont this 4th and stayed from Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning. There was no one else there until Friday night and finally one group arrived and had the nerve to raise their Mexican flag on the 4th weekend. Even though we were a quarter mile apart, all their kids -- mostly without helmets and doubled-up on quads, would ride to our camp and then turn back. The temps from 6 pm to 11 am were nice but the peak hours were brutal without AC. Using our large fan with generator made it just seem like hot air blowing in your face. Drinking water, Gatorade and beer helped pass the 7 hours of heat each day. We dunked our tshirts in the cooler water and wore our wet shirts which cooled out body temps drastically.

dunefreak Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks for the report! Some people have some serious nerve. I'm surprised they didn't pull up and camp next to you. They should go back to Mexico and play in that dirt if they like it so much. No matter what ethnicity you are, if you are in this country by choice then you should be proud and fly the US flag or get the eff out if you don't like it! Sweet looking buggy BTW.

Jakster884 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Holly Chit you should never say NEVER. Good to hear you came back in one piece and not dehydrated. Only the tuff survive and I guess you are one of them. Good to hear you had a great weekend. Did you light off any fireworks in the other direction...

buggymaniac Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) I wish I had stocked up on fireworks but only had a mixed bag of little stuff with me for this trip. Funny thing that they chose to set up camp within 10 feet of a stinky bathroom. Must smell like home (TJ) for them. My buggy really needed paddles for Dumont and it was my first time out with this new build. So they are on my wish list -- but "a must" before my next sand trip. BTW: The little sand car flying up the dune is a 1/5 scale RC car: HPI Baja 5B. Pismo was actually Plan A but we did not want to watch our toys rust and there is no comparison to the quality and quantity of duning at Dumont vs. Pismo.

buggymaniac Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 It was 116 F at the peak but had good weather from 6 pm to 11 am. Night time cooled off a lot with nice breezes/wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
