Landsandcrab Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 http://youtu.be/bB9mP_7DAI0 Copy n paste if above link gets sticky. (oh and sorry about the sh#t angle, next ones are much better) First trip of the year to DD, first day, first ride, first time trying out GP on the sand. I was having so much fun but maybe a little too much, crusing up a great dune until the changing light got the better of me! That resulted in a nice 20 foot launch to uphill landing, luckily I let go and rolled off to the right for a clean exit. Bike was fine too. First "over the falls" crash for me. Sand is soft.... Might as well include a quick ride report from last week Jan 6-7th: So Great to be back in the Sand! I was a bit bummed that my buddies flaked last minute, but I had an awesome time and met some new riding friends. Tested out the go pro, after getting the angle correct, so much fun and helpful to combat boredom at camp. It....was.....bumpy.....! Sheez, I guess I've been spoiled in the two years I've been going out to DD. This was by far the bumpiest, tracked out like 5 hours after opening on a powder day at Mammoth! It really made for those special moments when ya do find soft fresh sand! Mostly in the east dunes! Also saw a military convoy of some sort along 127 in the middle of the night, a B2 (Stealth) with large white 4 turbine plane right next to it flying a practice refueling mission? Did an arch right over my camp, wish the video could have gotten a better image. Damn those Stealths are huge!! Weather was great, little chilly at night but still in the 40's. Glad I brought the whiskey. Next miss is next week!!! With buddies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rhino Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 At least the sand was soft glad you weren't hurt. Wish you could have got video of the stealth!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Oops! That soft sand can be nice but can also bite back and stop you dead in your tracks. haha Thanks for the report & vid! Every time I watch a video of a dirtbike in the dunes it makes me want to pick up another dune bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuNe~Rydher Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 haha, cool vid! Always a good thing when you can walk away from a crash saying "yeah baby!" Interesting about the B2, I promise that white plane wasn't there to refuel it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
