past trips... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2219&hilit=summer+of+sixes

too bad it is a 12 hr drive. Did you ever make your juniper trip? we plan to go again once it cools down a bit. Need to get the 670 pilot out to the dunes again!

How large is the riding area?

Doesnt say how big the riding area is that's why I asked skippy.

Skippy! LMAO, funny. Its, generally speaking, probably slightly smaller than Dumont, dunes are not as big either. Good part is there is not many people. there. New riding areas are always fun. You guys should come up. Could be talked into a St Anthony instead pretty easy too. hint hint

Nitro...It will be less than a year and a half before I am back in Montana for a year...promise I will make a trip over to see you then. I will make a few St Anthonys that year too.

skippy is what I call nick sometimes lol. I looked it up on google and it says the riding area is 13000 acres.

St anthonys is a long way from southern cali.

Hey, hey, hey... you werent supposed to make that public knowledge!

sorry it just slipped out

I drive to Dumont, Ocotilla Wells, etc....you guys should come visit me! Ya, its a long assed drive from Cali. lol

Easy Skippy, or I will tell Mrs Cleaver.

Few pics from this morning....

Few more. Oh and I dropped a nut, from my j arm! Lol

Dang that's cold! It's only September.

It was cold that fist morning then 75 during the day n dead calm which was very rare out here. Next couple nights were 60 or so. Saturday night it got REAL windy40-50 mph gusts so the dunes were smooth in places and rough where the wet sand from previous rains.

Riding was great, I snapped an axle Sat and my works shock bought the farm too. My cable limiting straps did not work....damn, back to the drawing board on that. We also broke a Dayco belt, snapped a tie rod and bent a front shock. We also destroyed a skat track hauler tire...it was getting pretty old. Elitespecialkid (Mark) had his air box come loose n sucked sand til it wouldn't run right...60lbs compression. Sounds bad but we kept 2 odys going the whole time. Cannibalism! Lol.

Here is some pics....

More pics

No pics

I guess you'll have to use those Fox shocks you got from Shoubada now.

If you do use them, let me know what hardware you use and the pressure you are using.

I have a pair of Works shocks, one great, one broken shaft. I was going to have the broken shock repaired until I found out what they want for repair and the turn around time.

Great pictures and sounds like a good time, someday i hope to make it to the dunes with mine looks like a ton of fun.

Damn howd you snap an axle and break your shock?

Damn howd you snap an axle and break your shock?

Glad you had fun. More wrenching time now.

I wish I could have went, I see what looks like familiar riding areas like pipeline hill and some really good mountain top distance shots but no bores tusk.

Grilling looks great.

Is that FED I see in the pics?

Ya Hoser, that is Fed. Over the 3 days there, we were the only campers and Sat afternoon was the only other time people were there. I have lots more pics and some videos to post but having issues with my droid phone. Food was great...ya you missed out but I can make more! lol

I don't have the time to wrench now Rusty, hunting season.

Redskinman, I was riding a wheelie out of a small hump with the nose was up in the air, and then it spun all the way around. Strange sensation! I also have a video of Mark breaking the front shock on the 400 BV. He caught over 4 ft of air and kinda nosed it over. Think he kinda dazed himself on the impact...helmet hit the steering wheel.

More pics coming very soon...
