dunefreak Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....a sand fix! :dumbass: Me, ISBB, chris1223, badass24racing and my buddy Wes all met up at the gas station at 3:30am. We managed to roll into Dumont about 5am...just before sunrise. We watched some pretty cool lightening storms off in the distance on the way there. We were hoping to catch a little bit of rain, but the storm never reached D. I think it was in the upper 80's/ lower 90's when we pulled in. crappy pic along the super wash boarded road. Holy hell it was rough! We got unloaded and geared up to ride before the sun even came up. ready to ride! It was a little difficult at first reading the dunes with no shadows at all and super smooth sand. Here we are at the north pole enjoying the view waiting for the sun to come up. It took forever for the sun to rise so we got back to riding. Then we stopped for a couple pics as the sun poked up. Then Mike's battery took a crap so we just pull started it each time unless we parked at the top of a dune. Back at the truck for some grub. It's already 95 at about 7AM. Ahh now that the sun is out check out those dunes! Then we were off again for another ride. We played around at comp for a bit for some pics. I brought my DSLR this ride for some better pics. Looking toward the south pole Looking north. Stupid lens flare. Peak of comp on the left side... A quick stop at the south pole. Pole is still there and so is the troops mailbax. Here's some dunes on the north end when we stopped for a minute. It shows you how steep and soft they are right now. We took another break for some dune pics. So gorgeous out there in summertime! Then on the last ride Nick's battery took a crap and the bike wouldn't even run. SO needless to say my Rappy got a WORKOUT! I towed Nick and his DS out of the middle of the dunes. That pig was heavy! And his DS was too! :fight: jk I managed to snap a pic of me towing Nick... Luckily the battery issue happened on the very last ride. It was an epic day of riding out there. I think we got 4 total ride in...all very long and good paced. We made tracks everywhere! Those dunes were so smooth like always in the summertime. We had a great group of guys, but we hope to have a few more next time since a few friends couldn't make it this round. There will be more runs this to come though. I love riding out there in the early morning in summer. We rode from 5AM to 9AM almost exactly. It wasn't even that warm. We had a nice breeze and even had some cloud cover for some short periods of time. Until next time...my sand fix feels great! Great ride guys! :freakin_nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys would have totally messed up their project. LOL Nope, we were thee ONLY people out there. Funny you mentioned the singing dunes. When we were sitting at the north pole we thought we heard a very faint noise like a bike or something off in the distance. We were thinking, damn we aren't the only ones here, then as we got back to camp....not one truck or ANYONE else was out there. Just us. I bet it was those dunes. It sounded like that deep frequency hum noise typical of dunes in the summer. They were super steep so that would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
