Great trip indeed. The sand was very nice this weekend and we had a good group. I think we had 15-20 riders in all. Saturday we got a on of riding in including a ride out to little dunes. Steve was generous enough to let me take his CRF450R out. Man, that made my weekend. I've been itching to get out on 2 wheels in the sand again and that made me realize how much I miss it. I see a barely street legal, single track/ duner bike in my future. :twisted: Sunday we ended up doing just one more ride. We were all pretty satisfied at that point, not to mention sore, so we all packed it up around 12/1 o'clock.

Saturday night was a blast. There were some hilarious campfire "shenanigans" and we even watched Supercross live in Chad's bigazz toyhauler. Best supercross party ever! :headbang1:

A few highlights...

Don't lose your clutch- your friends will leave you for dead.

light rain plus wind= smooth, slick, awesome dunes

chris1223's new screename is seigfried

Where's the damn campfire jump?

tri-tip tacos!

really fast quad rides are still very slow buggy rides

Stalteri does killer heal clickers in camp

Kujo

Is riding doubles with a dog considered riding doubles?

Put a helmet on Craig! He won a ticket for that maneuver.

Little dunes can be fun

Chadwick in now in the market for a 450

I almost lost it cresting one of the largest razors there. Phew! Saved it.

My Raptor 660- still kicking a$$. She's got another great weekend of riding on her resume.

Many pics to come.

Here's the GoPro screeengrabs...

I found that turning the camera backwards captures much more since I am almost always leading.

Nice job getting a ticket Craig.

The BLM was sitting at the exit checking people. I just waved my pass and they gave me a thank you on their PA speaker. Surprised to see them out there. Too bad they didn't grade the road.

I got a ton of video and the Nerf bar locations seemed to work pretty good making for a nice angle. I'll try to go through all that soon.

Thanks Pete for posting a couple of pics of my 12 year old son beating me up Banshee hill.... We had a blast. Great group of people as always... Looking forward to the next trip....

You're welcome! haha I would expect Cody to beat you. He's probably less than half your weight and had tons more power! ;)

Was ynot out there chilling by bathroom 10 with his enclosed and a black and red dodge ? I thought I saw him a few times in the dunes running solo.

No, he couldn't make it out this weekend and he doesn't have a Dodge.

Thanks Pete. I have seen his Motor home out there but the red rail I saw I thought was familiar. Had a Purina dog chow looking flag. Red and white.

Weather could not have been better and the Commander 1000 X SxS checked out great on its maiden run this weekend. Good to hooked up again with Pete and Adam on the Small Dune run as well. Dogs rode pretty well for first time duners..lol So decided to at the last minute to follow what I thought was Pete and another Weekend Warrior that had Funco on the back door home going via Tecopa... Never been that way so all was good until I lost site of Pete...and the Warrior in front of me turned into the Tecopa RV resort assuming to dump tanks....so somehow ended up in Pharump..holy crap. Miss a turnoff somewhere - anyways just added a little time to the drive. Next time I think I'll keep going straight through Tecopa and not turning left....great times looking forward to the next run.SP2Mike

Great weekend. Going through all the GoPro footage, but it will be a few days before I can put anything together at my pace. It was nice to be back to some real dunes, the LTR got to stretch it's legs for the first time in a long time. Good riding with everyone!

And I want to thank Chad and family for letting us crash his pad for Supercross, that was awesome of you guys, thanks again. :beercheers:
