it just occured to me i have never been in this section of the forum. i guess it cause i dont have any dunes. how do you guys like riding in dunes compaired to trailes. some of the trails i used to ride on like everyday last year were nothing but sand that was like a beach that was dry. how does this compare?

I used to think riding on the river beaches and suck like your talking about is fun until i hit the dunes, they are so much more fun to ride on. to me at least

Yes, Yes....Sand is a million times better than trails. I am from NJ, but I am in Arizona right now cuz im on vacation. I brought my banshee here too. Im having a blast at the dunes, ive never had so much fun before. Trails just suck compared to the dunes.

Having been raised here close to the ORegon dunes and in the Pacific Northwest, I get to ride both dunes and trails. DUnes and Im talking dunes with big hills, tree shots and the whole 9, are a HUGE rush. No comparison. Apples to Oranges,,

Do you like to do doubles??? The dunes are covered with them, step ups, you name it. Jumping in the dunes is a real thrill. Sand is real forginving if you crash(lucky for me:D).

thats why I wanna test it out:D easier on the quad when you crash too. I would really love to hit some 4th or 5th gear jumps:D

Believe me I know, but it doesn't hurt near as bad as crashing in the dirt.

When I ride trails, I take my Grizzly. It's a much better trail machine than the 400EX.

BUT, for the dunes, the 400EX is awesome!!! As far as I'm concerned, it's my dedicated dune machine.

Back when I just had the Grizzly, I thought gee, sport quads, how quaint. Sand. Gee, big deal. No trails to follow, just ride around on sand all day. How fun is that?

Well then I got a great deal on the 400EX and found out! Next weekend will be three weekends in a row at Sand Mountain. Meanwhile the Grizzly sits in the garage unused. :)

theres a big difference between the two...you always have to stay on the trails...in the sand you go wherever you please...its more of a thrill when you are trail riding .do you get to fly 30 feet off the top of a hill...you need to try it sometime soon.,....i GUARANTEE youll be hooked for life...

that is supposed to say .....

it is more of a thrill when you are DUNE RIDING..Do you get to fly 30 feel off the top of a hill, while trail riding??....no, but you do while duning...you need to try it sometime soon....i GUARANTEE youll be hooked for life...


sorry...i was in a hurry the first time...





pismo........,.how do the gecko's work???

i love them....theyre perfect for me.......they truely are a mix of the v and strait paddles, ive got the best of both worlds, especially w/ the trackers up front.....if your thinking about getting them for your R i dont know how they'd work...they might not be enough paddle for them....talk to OLDNUMBERSEVEN... hes got a garage full of geckos. literally. hes got like 4 pairs of them....hes ridden them on a more variety of quads...ive only ridden them on my ex.

ive never gotten to try them out on big hills , because at pismo...nothing is over 175 feet...it sucks...but man, do they throw a mean roost:D
