Coral Pink Labor Day trip report

[dunefreak]

Racenjasen and I just got back this afternoon. I had an awesome time. It was dune therapy that was much needed. We got some really good riding in the whole weekend, did some partying of course at night, and I got to grill up some good a$$ grub on my lil charcoal grill. I didn't bring anything this trip other than my Raptor, charcoal grill, and a cooler. I made the mistake of not bringing the damn sticks for my tent so I just roughed it even more and slept in the back of my truck. It wasn't the Taj Mahal, but it worked. This weekend I think I ate better than almost any dune weekend in a while. Rasenjasen, Steveo, and myself grilled up some marinated chicken breats, brats, peppers and onions, green beens, grilled corn on the cob, and then some. It was awesome.

It was cool to hang out with you, chris1223. I think I was the only one who remembered the numbers (1223) after "chris" in his screen name. Chris. hopefully we didn't (or shall I say Pauly) scare you off with all the sh*t talk this weekend. It's all friendly love. Gotta have some thick skin camping with most of us. We like to give each other alot of sh*t at times. Looking forward to some more good times in the dunes with you and your wife. It was fun hanging out.

Luckily nobody got hurt, although I managed to flip my Raptor a few times and went flying through the air for quite some time. :shocked2: I got crossed up in a whoop section while on a left turn bend in the trail and clipped a mound of sand with my front left tire. I got thrown immediatly over the bars and the bike followed. I was in 3rd or 4th gear going pretty fast when it happened so it was pretty scarey. All I could think of is oh sh*t, I hope the Raptor doesn't fall on me. LUCKILY it didn't. I got my bell rung pretty good and barely bruised my shin (even through my boots), but I came out unscathed. The Raptor only had a bent tie rod sleeve and a few flat tires by the time I got back to camp. I got sand in the beads, so they kept going low all weekend which sucked, but i still was able to keep riding. Cdavego and I "repaired" the tie rod sleeve with a shovel handle.

Lvnalolife blew his trans (again ) going up there just outside of the gorge. Luckily he was able to still get his toyhauler up there with his father in law's truck though. I was going to tow it back for him, but 9digit was able to bring it back for him. Hope you get that trans problem handled once and for all, JJ.

In all it was a sweet a$$ weekend. We got back in 3.5 hrs and we even stopped at EatzaPizza in St George for a half an hour. I'm glad I decided to go up there at the last minute. It was a fun weekend.

a few pics...

some cows in the middle of the trail we almost ran into!!! :shocked2:

Observations on the weekend,

d. million dollar showers

e. Pauly's brain came stock with a dune GPS system.

f. Lvnalolife's little air compressor deserves a gold medal and his father in law should mass-produce his

buggy jack it kicks a$$!

g. I changed allot of tires this weekend but it was totally worth it!! Thanks Dave!

h. those Utah boys got the sobe bombs down to a science they can really blow some sh*t up!!

i. theres cows and mountain lions in them there dunes

j. It doesn’t matter if Dune Freak's truck has quads stacked in it or towing the taj he is rolling 95 mph all the way home b*tch COME ON!!! MOVE YOUR a$$!!!

k. Very important rule of thumb to always remember is after refueling your bike you need to go ahead and actually screw the gas cap onto the gas tank prior to exiting camp for your night ride and if you fail to do so you will begin to feel a splashing of liquid followed shortly by a warm almost burning of the the flesh sensation around your waist area and about that time you will immediately feel like a complete dumb a$$ and try to remember exactly how many beverages you have consumed that evening then you will turn around and locate said gas cap ( thanks for the help dunefreak) and upon finding said gas cap you will reapply said gas cap after removing as much sand as possible by beating it upon dunefreaks raptor and pin it to win it to catch up with the rest of the group and continue the nights festivities. BRAAAP!!!

i. EatzaPizza in St George is the sh*t!!

m. Welcome to manhood Charlie!!

n. SteveO is going to jail one of these days for knocking out a cop right after he gives him a ticket for transporting a bike with expired stickers!

o. no trash was burnt this trip

p.Dunefreak's raptor takes the cake for the best energizer bunny impersonation, It just kept going and going s:mc_smiley:

q. 97 Dodge half tone 4 wheel drive with 10 inches of lift running thirty threes, Cattle bumper on the front triple post chrome roll bar complete with KC's in the bed. dual exhuast hugging the license plate, multiple USMC stickers on the back window only thing it was missing was a gun rack. see dunefreak for actual photos not a joke. f*ckin REDNECK!! :shocked2:

4. Pete, Dave, Pauly & Jasen are fast MOFOS when they ride!

5. Sliding sideways down a dune sucks, even worse when you get off the bike and have dirt up to the shins.

5. Night search & rescue is fun in my buggy. I need better lights!
