Thanksgiving vacation, coral pink Utah, glamis california PICS!

[beerock]

Here we are, getting ready to catch our plane to las vegas. Chris is on the right and T (anthony) on the left. The box on the floor is a pair of sand star sand paddles for chrises 400ex with a +3 roll design front end with axis shock(T has the same). the other box was mine, I had 4 brand new k&n filters, 10 ngk br8es plugs, 3 bottles of amsoil Dominator 2 stroke oil and a nice new seat cover, which you will see soon;)

[beerock]

Introducing the bone doctor aka, bones, doc etc (mike)we met up with him right by the gate. we all met up there.

[beerock]

I think this guy doc is a honda hater ;)

sweet jacket!!

[beerock]

getting ready for take off reading the atv mag with the guide to glamis in it ;)

[beerock]

got some nice shots in the air..

[beerock]

1 more, i know yall are getting antsy for some pics....

[beerock]

there it is, VEGAS BABY!!!Docs friend jeff picked us up at the airport, that was such a key move. its good to have friends all over ;)

[beerock]

I just left new york HOW THE HECK did i get back here?:blah:

[beerock]

We finally rounded up the stuff we needed at the MX stores and headed off to pick up the rv's!!

the guy behind the counter must have been the most sarcastic guys i ever met in my life!! he was hilarious!!

thats rob the PIMP on the far right, he was the only NON HONDA in the bunch with his predator, but hey, at least his bike is red!! ;)

[beerock]

heres some of the stuff we picked up at the mx shop, man were they happy when we bought all that stuff!! I bought a pair of rear sand stars on 10" itp's and rob bought a full set of sand stars on CAST itp rims.

We all learned a valuable thing about the cast rims they are heavier then .190 rims!!!!!!!! Also, think about this, if you hit something hard with the cast rims, the rim will crack and youll be down and out. at least with the aluminum you just bend it.....

the weight difference was at least 3-5 pounds!!

[beerock]

el monte RV in vegas is top notch!! we got two of these babies with ford triton v10's!! they cost about 1800, plus gas but split between 3 people its not that bad, especially if you wanna go big dog styleee!!:cool: :macho

[beerock]

me and doc were in the lead rv, chris rob and T were in 2nd rv

we were siked and headed for coral pink utah!!

:devil:

[beerock]

chris and T in the second RV

[beerock]

leaaaviiinnnn laaas vegas!

[beerock]

gassin up the rv's for the long haul to coral pink utah.(took about 5 hours)

[beerock]

docs friend jeff drove from vegas with us to ride in coral pink on his rapturd, oops i mean raptor;)

[beerock]

we were doing 75 the whole way, bouncing off that damn rev limiter:mad:

[beerock]

5 hours later WOO HOOO!!!!! sign for the dunes!! The road we were on was about 20 miles long and was all dirt!! man we didnt even get to ride our bikes yet and we were already hitting whoops!!! LOL

[beerock]

a better shot..

[beerock]

man it was still a rough 8 miles!!!!!

[beerock]

Now, one thing i didnt say yet was, we were in our camping spots. JAY, who drove the 26' uhaul across country had no way to get in touch with us. we had no cell phone signal and he was no where on the dunes property(campground) It was 1 in the monring. so Jeff, doc and chris went out in the van to find him in the near by town of kanab. everyone else went to bed, I couldnt sleep thinkin about where they were, they were gone for a good 3 hours. All of a sudden they all pull up, I jump out of bed and run out side. JAY was with them with the 26' uhaul. IT WAS ON!!!!!!!

[beerock]

I got on top of the rv to look for some dunes!! this was the first look I got!:D AWESOME!!!

[beerock]

the view and scenery were of another world!

[beerock]

time to get em out and set up shop...

thats the man JAY on the right!!!! hes hardcore for driving across country by himself, he made it in 22 hours!!!!!!!!!!

[beerock]

cant forget the pic of the R's all tied up and ready to rip!

[beerock]

the guy to the far left was jay also, he drove from washington state to pick up docs 330R , he saw pics on r riders and bought it right away!!!16 hours!!!! go jay!!, arens frame, laegers long travel front end, axis all around, all polished cases..... BLING

[beerock]

docs, i mean jays NEW R

yes i see that nice 450r in the background, youll see it soon ;) :devil:

[beerock]

just getting ready to go!;)

[beerock]

I threw my paddles on:macho

[beerock]

jay was lovin the 330R he was screaming the thing.

Right off the bat I felt a loss of power, coral pink is about 4500 feet above sea level. with my bike i had to be on it WOT shifting hard or it would bog, it was not set up right...YET

[beerock]

This trail was 4-5th WOT with the usual whoops. at least 3, if your a pro, 4 wide to pass. I still was not liking the power loss.

[beerock]

found a couple hills later in the day. This is chris comin up on the 400, check out that front end!

[beerock]

the sand was a nice color, i guess pink?:chinese: i guess thats where the name is from...:p

Right before these two pics at the hill I went back to camp and switched from 14/38 gearing to 14/39 gearing. MAN what a difference!!

chris again....

[beerock]

the 400 and the 450 believe it or not were both down on power chris made it up the hill but that was about it... the elevation was definately a big roll. later on the brothers(chris and T) changed there gearing, it helped them but they could have had more fun then they had, but hell, we were in coral pink Utah!!ITS ALL GOOD.

this is jay trying to get up!

[beerock]

they kept trying, i have a video of chris making it up once i wonder how i can get it up in this thread?

[beerock]

the r's had to sweat a little to get up the hill but nothing the R can't handle:macho even my little 265!!

the hill we were going up was to the right.

the hill straight ahead doc, me and jay made it up to the top, No one else.

[beerock]

here comes T

[beerock]

heres jay tryin!!

[beerock]

here are the videos!!!

Me rockin it!

I just emailed doc, i think he has a pic of me going up the hill in the background 3 pics back, I didnt make it the first time, but thats becasue i had 14/38 gearing, i went back with the 14/39 and made it up but have no pics :o I have proof though, here we are at the top of that hill!!! :devil:

[beerock]

both R's made it up her!;)

[beerock]

cool shot :cool:

[beerock]

sick shot

crazy Joshua tree!!

[beerock]

heres a blurry shot of jay , but its all about what you see!

[beerock]

hangin out on top of a pretty long and steep hill.

[beerock]

i was racing this guy up the hill on his yfz, full sparks exhaust, advanced timing and intake. he pulled me most of the time. but i wasnt far behind!

the 400 and stock 450 were not making it up this hill. hence the tracks turning around.

I hit the bottom once in third WOT and bottomed hard then the bike bogged, i had to turn around too. but every other time i made it up screaming it in 2nd. it was fun:devil:

[beerock]

back for a refuel and lunch

[beerock]

got the coleman out for some burgers and dogs!!! :D

[beerock]

the camp site, or PIMP site :blah:

coral pink is a awesome place to dune, the camp sites all have there own picnic tables, fire pits and barbecue grills And YES SHOWERS AND BATHROOMS they even have Water to clean your bikes off, just make sure you bring a hose.

[beerock]

Night came and you cant ride coral pink past 9pm. SO, i busted out my new seat cover and staple gun..... :devil:

[beerock]

I posted that pic without the flash becasue i like dark shots like that i think there cool. I also took one with....;)

[beerock]

I had to get the bike ready for glamis :devil: I gues you could say we all "dunized" our bikes

[beerock]

this post has no pic for a reason. We were only going to ride coral pink one day but it was so fun we decided to do two.

[beerock]

and then......

[beerock]

8 inches of snow!!!

our buddy jeff came back on his raptor and said he was packing up and goin back to vegas. now we were going to leave that night but when he came back everyone is like why. LOL WHY!!! so we all went out scattered next thing you know BOOOFFF, my bike is stuck in a 5 foot snow drift!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHHA

got it out went back to camp and started to load the bikes.

if it wasnt for the hose the trailer would have been a complete mess. while it was snowing we washed all the bikes off and rolled them to the trailer and threw them in one by one so the water would be to a minimal.

imagine if we loaded the bikes with all the snow:eek:

[beerock]

we were outta there!! and now we had Jay and the uhaul. I rode shot gun in the uhaul.

[beerock]

look at this convoy!!

[beerock]

this was pretty funny, we pull up to this park toll after about a half hour drive. turns out theres a tunnel and we CANT FIT!!

UNLESS, we pay 30 each vehicle and have the tunnel closed off with a police convoy so we can drive down the center of the tunnel to fit!!:eek:

No thanks:devil:

[beerock]

Finally found the way around, and man the scenery was insane, I hate to post all these pics with no riding YET but it was so amazing.

[beerock]

there it was rt 15 off to the top left of the pic, we were heading back to vegas for race gas(for me) and a night out on the town!!:devil: :devil:

[beerock]

insane rocks/mountains

[beerock]

vegas at night:cool:

[beerock]

i like these blurr shots:scary:

[beerock]

i forget the name of that tower but its cool at night

[beerock]

That was a crazy night in vegas. we went to the belagio for the buffet and man was it killer, they even had somehting right up pappys alley!! venecin sp? they had rack of lamb, sushi, pastas, it was insane and everything was so good!! after that doc and jeff went back to rest up. then the boys went out, me jay, rob chris and T I would say what the night went like but lets just say rob pimped out a limo for us and we ended up spending over 3 large not hundreds...... ;) rob and I were the last standing everyone else bailed early but still partied hard. us on the other hand walked up to the rv's at 10 am!!!!! boy was doc pissed, i had to drive the rv to glamis but he wouldnt let me because i had no sleep. so rob and I got in the other rv and drove the whole way to glamis with no sleep!!!! NO i didnt pass out!!! we were too siked for glamis!!!!

[beerock]

man the road to glamis was like a roller coaster

[beerock]

the first quads we saw on the dunes, we couldnt see the dunes but we saw these atv's with lights on the valve stem, they were sweet, i ended up getting a pair of red ones for my rims they helped us at night when we were a couple hundred feet apart to hone in on each other.

[beerock]

we couldnt wait, we went for a night rip!!! (still no sleep and rockin!!!)
there is hardcore jay

[beerock]

here is tyhe camp site, WASH 13.5 near oldsmobile hill.

we boxed in all our quads(my idea) so no one could take off or roll one away. we met up with another one of our buddies howie and pat, they both had banshees with HUGE 6 gallon tanks..

[beerock]

3 pics of the camp site to get a feel.

[beerock]

call it a 360 degree view

[beerock]

our view

[beerock]

I had to find race gas so i took the uhaul and jay took his 450r to the glamis store to help me look.

[beerock]

rockin da one handed wheelies

[beerock]

show off!! :blah:

[beerock]

umm can i say it again?
.
.
...
...
.
.
.
.
.
. show off!!:devil:

he rocks them wheelies though

east coast representing!!!

[beerock]

I had to hit the highway to go to brawley, I couldnt find any gas in the accesorie stores in glamis town or sweet maries.

so this was my first real look at the dunes:D

[beerock]

people just hangin out

[beerock]

when i saw these two i started to get all excited WOOOHOOO!!!

[beerock]

Doc getting the walsh R ready, T petting it NICE R NICE R!!:blah:

and my lil bwr pro trax.......:devil:

[beerock]

just getting started to ride, hanging on the dunes. headed towards sand highway.....

[beerock]

this is the end of sand highway, near buttercup, gordons wells, and yea mexico!!

sand high way was sick!! we were all in top gear(I was in 5th couldnt pull 6th with my gearing. but i was still going just as fast as everyone else, but with a nice wide bike to handle the high speed, and i MEAN high speed whoops. woohoom, it was a rush being in 5th wot looking over on the other trails next to you and seeing your boys ripping!! there were 3 main highways and we were all dicing back in forth. that was until me and mike hit it hard and pulled away from everyone. the walsh and protrax really soak up everything and forgive you if you come up on a big whoop to fast, I wouldnt do it on anything else!!!

[beerock]

another angle, we were all stoked, it was some insane WOT riding, at least for a good 20 minutes...

[beerock]

thats why we needed six pack racks...... the R's had 4 gallon tanks and 2 gallon spares in the rack.... if we didnt have them we wouldnt have made it back.... since we went all the way to........................

[beerock]

gotta love pro caliber r's:bandit:

[beerock]

thats mexico right over the water.

[beerock]

chris had a mishap over a dune and nosed it into a steep one, I saw the whole thing, I went buy him to go catch the leader so we could stop and not all get lost, jay stopped and made sure he was alright. he was ok a little beat up.
problem was he blew his rear paddle out.:o and we were about 50 miles from camp!

[beerock]

the moon was out

[beerock]

we trried getting the bead back on with no luck

[beerock]

we still had fun:devil:

[beerock]

we found a camp site about 30 miles away form camp and got helped out with a guy with a compressor and popped the bead back on the rim!!! so we had a decent night ride!!

form left to right, doc, rob,howie, pat and jay:)

[beerock]

got the timer on the cam and click!

[beerock]

out my window

[beerock]

the new R and the old r's!

[beerock]

ok here it is,docs back up bike, elkas all around with link, lsr axle, fat boy pipe, hrc cam, tag bars, hipers, extended gas tank. HOT!!

he bought this a week before jay left and got elka to send the shocks in less then a week, great service!! but they were valved to stiff, no big deal thats what customer service is about!!!

[beerock]

another view

[beerock]

the bwr R on the stand getting ready for some paddles for day 2, the sand was hard so we used reg tires then, it softened up a bit later on the next day. I also switched from 14/39 to 13/37 ( 2 tooth difference from 14/38. I picked up so much power.

as soon as we got to glamis we all had WAY MORE POWER THEN coral pink. man elevation is a HP KILLER!!!!!

feeling it first hand makes you understand......

[beerock]

We met up with my boys corey alex, alexes girlfriend nicole and her son sam.

This is T and chris doing a 2 man wheelie. and eevryone at alex and corecys campground gathered and watch, little did they know WHO my boys were camping/hanging with.:devil:

Someone started taking pictures from a certain magazine, which you will know who soon. then they gave us all sweat shirts and t shirts, and the other big dog gave us sick hats..... to be announced shortly!!!:devil: :devil:

[beerock]

One problem that happened on the way to my buddies was docs R blew a colant hose and cooked the orings, it still had compression but he had to be towed:o :o I was waiting to get everyone together to meet up with my friends to go for a ride for at least two hours, then another 45 minutes riding then, half hour to get to there campground becasue docs bike blew. So rob towed docs walsh to there campground and I figured after we went for a ride(since my boys were waiting for me for 3+ hours then we would use coreys jeep and trailer mikes bike back so he can hop on the 450r.

NOW, i can start introducing who we were exactly meeting up with... by the way thats my buddy alexes BUGGY.

[beerock]

another sick view, the buggies are EXTREME PERFORMANCE buggies, alexes has a ls6 vette motor all aluminum and its WORKED pushing 800HP he had all the shocks anodized to match the paint... no king shocks were this color that i saw, they were all blue like...............

[beerock]

like alan and melissa the owners of extreme performances sand rails.

this buggy is the newest design chassis and he has a ls6 TWIN TURBO!!! pushing 1200HP

both buggies have mendeola trannies

[beerock]

we first went for a ride with alex and corey, alex has a limited banshee, and corey had a alba yfz450

thats alex with the MOHAWK helmet!!!:devil:

[beerock]

theres corey on the alba yfz

[beerock]

glamis town

[beerock]

bad picture but this sweatshirt was from nick the owner of the magazine company we were doing tricks for and riding with... ahh the suspense, nope not tellin yet!!

[beerock]

The next day i cruised over to alex and coreys early by myself since no one was ready and they were waiting. man those guys missed out. the extreme performance crew, magazine crew and film crew headed out to the dunes in the buggies and i followed and occasionally passed on my BWR laeger. corey and I were on our bikes, the other two quads started following us and we later found out they were in the camp site with everyone there, but they had a real hardtime just keeping us in site, we were going that fast. they had a raptor and a stock 250r

We were flying through the big bowls, I was in 4th and 5th through the bowls and i was keeping up!! they were all reallly surprised :devil:

[beerock]

then we hit OLDS!!!!!

[beerock]

we rolled up like the baddest mothers in the lovin place!!!

[beerock]

it felt great

[beerock]

the baddest rails there.... PERIOD!

[beerock]

hanging out, thats nicole on the right

[beerock]

draggin everywhere

[beerock]

whoa watch that wheelie

[beerock]

everyone was flyin up the hills, the shees def rule the hill. there werent many r's though...

[beerock]

nice yfz with anodized rims!

[beerock]

crazy landcruiser

[beerock]

hey i got you on film too!!:blah:

[beerock]

keep yer eye on the yellow truck!

[beerock]

HOLLLYYY CRAAAAPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:ee k: :eek: :eek:

[beerock]

[beerock]

I got this guy in mid air crashing his drag shee

[beerock]

he hit hard and stayed down for a loong time, the ranger came to evacuate him..:o

[beerock]

alex and I dragged up the hill a couple times the yfz had me by 2-3 bike lengths

I found out that night that my plug was shot cuz i was rippin up olds in 3rd wot way better once i changed my plug

[beerock]

the night rip back home,man i wish i had a helmet cam!!

[beerock]

the moon and dunes.....

[beerock]

oh boy time for a ride:eek:

[beerock]

im gonna post all these blurry shots, alan was leading in his "goin platinum sand rail.

anyone figure out what magazine we were hangin out with? :eek: :cool:

[beerock]

olds at night at top, the cops were kickin people out, but gave up and left...

[beerock]

people were hanging out camping then the cops came, then left and people started to pick there fires LOL we were scoping them out too.

then someone dropped a old volkswagen magnesium block into one of the many fires at the bottom of the hill. they burn bright bright white

[beerock]

look at the cloud from it...

that cant be good...

[beerock]

then someone got fancy and poured a trail of oil....

[beerock]

pretty neat

[beerock]

the ride back, alan leading.....

those HID's make the dark day....

[beerock]

i couldnt believe how much the suspension soaks up in the rails

[beerock]

i think these pics give a feel of moving, pretty cool, that or either being reallly drunk :blah:

[beerock]

I told alex, corey and nicole.

"GUYS im holding on the the grab bars harder then i do on my bike"

they all started laughing and said we were going three times as fast during the day when i was keeping up.

I still cant comprehend the speed I guess its because there so big compared to atv's but they can go just as fast, hell, ALOT faster.

alex foot walked a jump he did once and it was 167 feet!!!

MAN i would have crapped myself if i went during the day the first time, these are EXTREME machines!!!

[beerock]

woot woot!:devil:

[beerock]

kinda cool blur shots, i like em, sorry if ya dont. the flash would have made it dark outside and blind alex:eek: that wouldnt be good!;)

[beerock]

well, there it is SAND ADDICTION MAGAZINE EXTREME sand rail. thats john from CLUTCH FILMS and Nick the owner of S A mag

2 weeks before John was filming mcgrath, jermiah jones, gust and a couple others(i think gust and JJ were there)

john and nick are cool peeps!;)

[beerock]

this is the closest im getting to smut.

[beerock]

pimpin the rides out...:devil:

[beerock]

time to pack up the buggy its sunday.... we also pakced up our stuff shortly after this.

My last day was cut short, we rode over for one last ride on the quads and right after we left and met with corey and alex my lil b+b 265 popped a intake leak, ran the mtoor lean and i had no compression after that, so ai sat around there campground and hung with john and nick.

when they got back from there ride i watched them put the buggy away...

[beerock]

another angle

[beerock]

sick paint job

[beerock]

everywhere was sick, btw the panels are all carbon fiber and detachable.....

[beerock]

alex inhis pimp ride

[beerock]

even the cowling was painted

[beerock]

wing too

[beerock]

backin her up

[beerock]

ahh a nice tight fit, that trailer is the widest trailer legal, they have to let air out of the front tires to fit it..

[beerock]

one of the extreeme rails with a gulf style paint job like the gt40s back in the day

[beerock]

and thats the last i saw

[beerock]

nick hooked me up with some parting gifts, a couple mags and john from clutch films gave me a ideo, thanks guy, you guys rock!!!

[beerock]

Those are awsome pics man! maybe on your next trip you should come out to Sand Mountain here in Utah Its 10x better then Coral pink. On your next trip u should also go to Saint Anthony's in Idaho its awsome to! I was out at Sand Mountain the day after thanksgiving and it was pretty cool and there was only about 300 people. Last thankgiving there was 35,000 people here.

hey i forgot to mention, the owner of extreme performance told me about idaho and said its sick and we need to go there. SO i may be out your way, if your ready for some hardcore rippin then meet on up with us and we will kick it.

I was riding next to robby gordon in his sand rail, hes really laid back. they were all yelling and ***** .when we would slow down id be shaking off the tension in my hands from holding on and lookin over at them shakin my head like, man you guys got it easy!:p

someone asked about jeremy before, he was riding his motorcycle.

ALSO, IF anyone wants HIGH RES pictures email me and let me know what page and which post... i learned a valuable technique with photshop which allowed me to automate and resize all the pics ;) Ill be posting a thread about it soon ;)

JIM, I wish you returned my message man I woudl have enjoyed meetin up wit ya. also, dude i learned such an important lesson out in coral pink, then going to glamis, the elevation kills power, its different when you feel it first hand and not through word of mouth, you know first hand knowledge is best

[LazeR]

Awesome pics Beerock! It was well worth the time going through the 10 pages of pics! Looks like you had a blast. Hopefully if i can get into UTI in AZ, i will be making the Glamis trip a few times! That place looks killer, its like 3290823098 times bigger than any dunes here!

[beerock]

thanks lazer, I am glad everyone enjoyed them, I know i didnt get many action shots, believe me i wish i did:o but hell, i was there to ride not take pics. even though theres not many action pics i think yall get the pictures. you know what they say, a pic is worth a 1000 words.

I am definately getting two cam corders and a front and rear helmet cam next trip:devil:

I think i hear idaho calling

[yamahonda]

that was best work i have seen on someone showing what they did for a vacation... that was awesome... and looks like you hade a great time... and not really to bad on your break downs either....

Even though there wasnt many action shots it was awesome, just seeing all the vehicles and stuff at Glamis you can tell it was awesome! Since a picture is worth a thousand words, i would say those pics were worth about 2000 a piece!

Do you have any video from this trip ?

Definately if you go next year, bring us back some pics ;) im sure no one will complain lol. Looks like you had a blast.

where are those links harlen!!:p

[LazeR]

I'll be sure to check in the morning for them, before i head to work! I'm pretty sure this thread will stay close to the top for awhile!

[theTman]

wheres the vid halren!

[infantry317]

Great pics! I'm so jealous, what a trip! :cool:

The pictures you have show a more in depth side of Glamis ive never seen in the magazines. I cant wait to get on those sand highways and just pin it!:devil:

[86350x]

That was an awesome vacation thread. Nice boobies on that sand rail paint job. I'd love to do the dunes out west if I ever had enough vacation time to do it.

I dunno about that, its kinda hot in june? about 120 degrees:eek:

idaho sounds good though!

[QuadJunkies]

I was wondering if we could get Harlen and Pappy out here ;)

Would be nice to meet them and he could do a little Sand Coverage while he was here.... :D
Temps out here do get hot, but in Idaho we dont get hot summers like Glamis too much. Usually in June you can expect 80's . The dunes are near the Teton Mnts. so temps are more mild . Hoep you can make it out Bee.... :)

Lol, the Grand Tetons. They call them that because htey look like big tits. Anyways, did ya get any video from glamis??? That coral pink place looks pretty decent.

[beerock]

sorry no videos of glamis, I am waiting on some more pics though.

[tom400ex]

Bee that looked like an awesome trip. its my dream to go to glamis:D
I gotta trade in my friends and hang with you guys;) I can hardly get them to go riding 20mins from my house:devil:

[Taco]

Bee you suck!!! Great pics, it looks like you all had a really great time.:D

[beerock]

yea taco i know i suck! LOL, yea we had a blast!!!

I said this before, but if anyone would like some HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES for wall papers. just let me know what picture and page and ill email it to you, post your email in the thread :)

[Destructo]

Man, I was out at the coral pink dunes just last year (03) but I didn't have a bike to ride at all! I know exactly where yall were and I went through that tunnel yall didn't go through because you had to pay 30 bucks, I had to wait for RVs to come through with escorts. It was a cool tunnel though! We just had a 2wd burb and I climbed the tall dune right there at the observation deck and my god, that was a huge chore! I swear it looked easier than it was, the sand was hard to walk in and that dune is MUCH bigger when you start walking up it.

I REALLY wish I had a quad to ride out there, driving around the camp ground and drooling over all the quads and sand rails sucked.

[FasstMidnightZ]

wow now its on the main page what a hit :eek2:

[gojk]

Those rails are easily in the $100K range. I rode in one with a Tatum framed LS1 built by Redline, with 28" of wheel travel all the way around, and he said it started at like $110K. They are incredible though. Once you ride in one you will wonder why you ever even brought the quad.;)

[Skannes]

thouse are some pritty tight pics man i wish i could go i live in alaska so it would be once in a life time just go see this kind of stuff

[kazpr]

WOW

[400exdad]

Great coverage! I feel like I just got back from Glamis!

[FTR250Rnif]

wow Bee. awesome pics looks like you had an awesome Time. If I can make it to glamis once ill be the happiest kid alive. great pics-donny

[ckasper18]

Glamis is awesome i drive 40 plus hours from packer country to ride glamis for the last 5 years i will be flying back to Arizona here this monday to go pick up the truck had some bad luck on my way home.Betterer that my luck was bad on the way home rather than at glamis.Looking forward to 2005

[Dice Wiley]

BeeRock------- thx, man! i never really worried about makin a trip to coral pink, but now i see those hillclimbs ------- i'll be there soon! believe that!:eek2:

[JTRtrx250r]

I like the pink too, and wouldnt mind goin to check out Coral, looks awesome!

Wow, this made the frontpage. I knew it was good enough!

[XANDADA]

Epic journey Beerock!:chinese:

[redrunner]

All I can say is "WOW"
How great would that be?:D

[Matt102]

I wasn't much of a dune guy before, but this whole thread just changed my oppinion! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[Metzroth]

Wow awesome pics. Felt like I was there with ya. Looks like you guys had hella fun. Great stuff!

[FatBoy Racing]

thanks for taking the time to post all that, beerock! looks like an awesome trip! i also saw some familiar faces (my die-hard 3-wheeler buddy runs the rv rental place you used - he's the nutjob with the whacked out atc). i also hear we'll see you on your next trip out -- have fun!

[twisted threads]

Awsome Pictures Beerock!! Riding in the Sand is awsome! Trust me If you go to St. Anthonys in Idaho you will NOT be disapointed at all!

[beerock]

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW:devil:

I'm glad everyone liked the pcitures and commentary.I didnt know the pics would do what they did for some people. I tried my best! I guess it shined?

The dunes are awesome. One thing though, just because it looks like all fun you have to understand we all rode with a level head(well maybe I was a little crazy when i was following the buggies in 4th and 5th). In glamis and coral pink You have to use your head, you can die very quick if you think you are awesome and can crest hills fast. ALWAYS use your head and ride within your boundries.Otherwise your trip can turn into disaster.

I talked to all the boys and it looks like we will be hitting idaho sometime, sooner then later. maybe spring. We usually dont ride in the heat of the summer, thats what we have boats for.

Also, Im workin on giving harlen a call to make a monumental event for atvriders.I've been so damn busy I havent had a chance to call.

[LazeR]

I second what beerock said, it can be very dangerous in the dunes, sometimes when climbing a hill you think its gonna crest at the top but it just drops close to straight down :eek2:,


Is there a lot of razor backs at glamis ? I know there is a ton here, it just makes you that much more careful!


Idaho is closer than Glamis i think, so keep us updated on that trip, i would love to make it if at all possible!

[Admin]

I am all about a Group Ride on the West Coast!!!!:D

[JTRtrx250r]

If everyone is gonna have a group ride in Idaho's sand...Im NOT gonna miss that 1!!! if thats the deal... let me know when Bee', we'll do it "traditional style" bro;) haha:D

You too Harlen!!;) :D

:cool:

I feel the same, I have had a nasty wreck on the dunes before, when we take our annual group san ride, we usually ride alot more mellow especially since were away from home and all. I am one that also believes that you NEVER..EVER ride alone out there ..too much can go wrong in a big hurry... I learned this personally when I first started riding the hard way :(
