dunefreak Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 What a kickazz day at Dumont. I always love those smooth, razored out dunes. We sure did get lucky with the weather. It was super cool all morning and only got up to about 92° when we left at ~12:30. The slight winds kept things cool. We had a good size group that made it out. I think there was 11 or 12 people plus the Pahrump group of a few side by sides. Super nice folks. Chadwick, lvnalolife and I left Henderson at 3:30am. We met up at the gas station and saw mineurbiz, dune cruzer and his buddy Scott waiting. We loaded up mineurbiz's quad on our trailer and carpooled. Sand_YFZ and Mike were shortly behind us. We pulled into Dumont just before the sun rose. It was a little windy and about 71°. The sun peaked up just as we started getting geared up to ride. b370 getting ready an excited to dune his XP White truck day at Dumont. One more in the group pulled in too. haha This never gets old! We saw the group from Pahrump pull in over near bathroom 10. Together, we were the only ones there. Sand_YFZ's gorgeous piece of work Sand_YFZ and mineurbiz fueling up I told Scott (langslair) to go make some tracks in that smooth sand for a photo op. He had no problem volunteering. Then at the bottom of the hill his pipe came apart. We sort of "repaired" it. Aaron making some final adjustments for the soft sand. to be continued.... gotta run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 1 ride out of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand chick Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Looks like another AWESOME early morning run. I wanted to do the whole weekend, but sometimes things don't always work out that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 ROFLMAO I have seen that shot before. Notice he seems to be able to get out of his own ride before he "Ralph'd", but he painted the side of my car more than a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Always good times out at that dunes but there is something special about those early morning summer runs. Every time I wake up at 3:00AM for an early trip to Dumont I think to myself "what the hell am I doing?" but then I get out there and realize its all worth it. This was a good sized group followed by lots of laughs. That sand was super soft and razored out! The first run in the morning was the best. It went so long that my thumb starred hurting from pushing the throttle for so long lol! Aaron your bike is pretty bad a$$ and that race fuel is nice to smell when riding behind you! Pete, you never fail to find the good lines out in the dunes. Thanks to all for a great weekend!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune Cruzer Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 That was a GOOD day trip! Weather was tolerable, smooth as glass dunes, couple good runs (for me at least), and a lot of good laughs! Will definitely try and make some future day trips with you guys! Too bad Scott's Honda didn't hold up. He'll get it up & running before long. Getting up at 2am really wore me out by the time we got home. Turned my lights out at 7:30 that night. Looking forward to the next one we can make.

dunefreak Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 I caught some killer shots with the Go Pro footage despite the small smudge on the lens if you look close enough. Click them for larger pics. These are from the beginning of the first run of the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
