Getting ready for the dunes!!!

[Phillburt57]

Anyone gonna be out at Sand Lake this weekend? It's my quads virgin voyage to dunes since my rebuild and I'm looking for some fellow 400's! If you see me come over and we'll go for a ride!

We'll be going down on Sept 5th/6th :)

Nice to see some local guys on here! I think we may be be going to Beverly on Labor day, but not sure yet, we're trying to get a decent size group to go.

We went to Beverly a couple months ago. My kids first outing on their new TRX90's! It was pretty fun. I assume you've been to moses lake?

Took a trip to St. Anthony's ID earlier this year with a couple friends. That was epic! Highly recommended!

Moses Lake is a pretty good spot to ride locally my only discrepency with that is when that sand gets dried out its a dust bowl lol, and the ash patches can be killers!

[smelly$cat]

Yeah, that's true. And all the whoops can really wear you out as well. But, compared to Beverly, I would go to Moses lake any day, just because it has more big dunes to ride on. Beverly ain't bad though. I went a really long time ago and got board pretty quick just because it's pretty small. Then, like I said, I went again recently and had a pretty good time. Here's a pic of me at Moses Lake getting some decent air :)

Haha you can only hit 4th gear in beverly lol! We found this and we were airing it out most of the day.

I've been on that mound! HA!

Is this going to be your first time out with your front end? If so, you're going to love it! I'm +2 +1 with Elka's front n back and it's pretty much impossible to not land a jump. Maybe not impossible, but I've saved some seriously off camber landings that would have been really ugly on stock suspension.

Here's a little better pic of one of my EX's. Trailer shot... sorry. I've designated her to a life on the dunes only. I have another that is my woods/wifes bike :D

[Phillburt57]

It's no the first time I've been on the suspension at the dunes just on the fresh motor mods. I love my suspension! I have also designated my EX to a dune quad no more mud for her!

Cool. You'll have a great time I'm sure. I love Sand Lakes. The one thing I wish they had though is more jumps. It's really hard to find good jumps there! Lots of good hill climbs though.

why must you guys taunt me? lol i want to hit up the dunes so bad just air out my quad like Phillburt57 in that picture. I would probally blow out my suspension or something at the dunes because I would try and launch everything lol

[smelly$cat]

"taunt me" lol! The dunes are pretty dang fun :)

Phill you have anymore pics of your quad? that thing looks pretty wicked from the front.

[RaginRedneck]

Awesome photos guys. I have actually never have been to the dunes, YET. I just bought my quad in January and I've only gotten to ride some local trails and do some flat track racing, but I'm excited to hit the dunes! I just bought a new fancy digital camera, so for once when I go riding I'm going to get some good photos!

[smelly$cat]

Sounds good man. Good luck out there!
