vegas style Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 found out miner is a good friend of mine just talked to him. didn't know that was his screen name. he is a great guy and is doing good. he was riding with me and helped get me back to town when I broke my ankle. I think he has helped enough accidents at dumont for a few seasons not to have to deal anymore I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iweb Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have to add another kudos to Minor! Its very few people that will actually help out in a situation like that. Any idea on the guys name or what quads the others were riding? I read it was a green Kawai and I have friends that go out alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minor Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks everyone for all the nice comments I do appreciate them. It was tough for me to hang out and continue to help them after I knew he was gone but I just told myself that if it was one of my friends or family members that I would not give up on them. It was very surreal all day today almost like it never happened... odd I know. Thanks again for all the comments they really helped me.

NicoleinVegas Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Stuff always seems to happen out there when it is off season. Good to know you guys do your random rides...you always seem to have to help one way or the other. Also teaches me, to never go out there without other people that can help out if you get stuck or injured. This site and the people rule.

TeeDuner Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Good job minor, you did a great thing by trying to help. What phone service do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minor Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have Sprint. It was weird I would have signal but the lowest possible, and when I would push talk it would take 15 seconds to connect but when it did i would have full signal on roaming of course.

Wow, yeah...I'm real sorry to hear about this tragic incident. Thanks for helping all you could minor, like everyone says, most people would not even get involved to help.

mcorella Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thank you for sticking around Minor. It was my cousin that was killed in the accident on August 5th. Thank you for notifying my Uncle of the accident and of the outcome. We had no way of communicating with anyone of the guys that went to Dumont that day. It was truly a terrible day for my family. We really appreciate that you were willing to help. Ironically, my cousin's name was also Adam. My family Thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!! Adam passed away doing what he loved to do, which was ride the dunes. Everyone please be VERY CAREFUL when going riding. We will miss you Adam - Rest in Peace.
