Glamis. That's me on my CR.

Glamis. Riding a two wheeler through the dunes at night is not for the faint of heart! :devil:

Glamis. Tents suck at the dunes.

Glamis. Me getting ready to do some jetting.

Glamis. This is what happens when you arrive at 3:30am and the sun is coming up by the time you're done setting up camp. You ride first and then crash (no pun!) later.

Gordens Well, at the sand drags there. This guy was serious about getting some good video footage.

Gordens Well. I have no idea how this guy got stuck right there. I thought his poor truck was going to twist in half.

Bed time in the trailer.

My venerable (and now long gone) 1999 400EX. I still miss her every now and again.

These pictures are from my last trip to the Coral Pink dunes in Utah. It's a lot different then the ISDRA (Glamis, Gordens Well, et al).

The two guys on the left were just some folks we met out there and rode with for a while. The place was pretty much empty.

These aren't dune pics. Just a few shoots of riding in AZ....

It ain't easy riding a 300lbs motorcycle through this stuff--fun though.

This is up by Parker. My friend ran straight through a barbed wire fence strung across here. If you look closely you can see a standing post on the right and a knocked down one on the left. He was in fourth gear (I checked) and one wire caught him square in the neck. Very scary. He was airlifted to a trauma center in Phoenix. He ended up being ok, thank goodness.

This is the only picture I took from when I rode with 250r4life and some of his crew on a day-trip to ButterCup. 250r4life is third from the left (not that you can really see him--this picture's not so great).

Here's a short vid of me racing 250r4life on Comp Hill at Buttercup.. I was on my buddies Raptor 700 and he was on his YFZ450. I lost. I swear it would have been closer if not for the junky GBC Paddle Masters that were on the Raptor at the time (although I may have lost no matter what). :cool: I hate mentioning that but my pride demands it [wink]! Said another way--250r4life's drag racing skill will exploit any opponents weekness. So you better bring you A-game or he's gonna make you look silly.
