Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Mike and i went for an early morning ride on 9.14. Met mike just before 5 AM at his house. (holly crap that's early for a DJ!!) Loaded mikes bike on my trailer, hooked my trailer to mikes truck, and took off. 2 hours later, the beautiful Dumont dunes. The road in was ripped UP BAD... even broke a screw lose on mike overhead console. No water in the river. WHAT!!! really someone was there with a toy hauler when we got there. unloaded and out for first tracks about 7:30am. the access part to comp is almost closed off with dunes... first hill, west end of banshee.... trash everywhere... WTF!!. We headed over to a spot East of Banhsee hill we jumped last year and it was TOTALLY different. The dunes were pushed around a lot over the summer and there were lots of steep hills, soft and hard sand, witch eyes and more. Mike was having a hard time seeing so I led the last part. We ended up over by comp and I barely noticed it looked so different. The first place we stopped out in the dunes was pretty hard packed, with the tires riding right on the top, and walking on it was like walking on asphault almost. There was one area, heading up a hill pulling a wheelie, and the sand just gave out under the tires and i spun out. it was very weird, Since I did the mods to the Raptor a few good runs up comp were called for. Toward the top there were a few ridges, and even a little drop off, before the top. The right side area had all kinds of drops, and dips and crazy ness. Interesting to see how many guys have issues there. It would NOT be good for a car or RZR over there. You can see from the parking lot that the Entire comp hill tip edge was pushed back west-ish back over the top. First trips out for October should be interesting, make sure to be carefull out there as it's so different, steep, and all that good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmoney Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Awesome! Would have been weird to get a picture of Comp., since you say it changed. I can see it in the campground picture that it got pushed way far over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 the general face of comp isn't bad, except for the dips and little drops toward the top in the main race line. The far right side was really bad, picture the witchs eye that was there before x 10 or more. For some reason my go pro was off when i went to the top of comp's right side to show it, so i got no video of it. yes, the top is pushed wayyyy back toward camp area, the transitions at the top are totally different, and the far left part, where comp starts from the left, was pushed into the staging area, and it totally different.
