Big rule at the dunes, if you're gonna jump either up or down a dune, have a dang spotter! I like rails as much as the next guy but a lot of em act like they own the dunes and don't look out for us guys riding!

[BlasterEaten250]

morons. that is the only thing I hate about the dunes.

uhm, tommy, i think your nuts, my buddy had a flag. watch from the beginning again.

thats why I dont like rails as much...what was the outcome of your buddy? :ermm: rails sure are fun but i hate how some people drive em..especially night riding. they'll high beam me then about run me over.

[buck440]

the crash sucks in all but shouldn't you guys of had a spotter up top?

[XCRacer236]

Glad he wasn't hurt too bad! Looks like he was thinking right by swerving as much as possible to try to avoid it.

[wolfe 21]

Glad his injuries are no more severe than they are.

you just want more views on youtube....I'm not watching it again I saw what I saw:devil:

Rail driver was 100% at fault. You do not go barreling down a dune like that, especially a popular climbing spot. What a jackass, didn't even have a flag.

[jzexrider]

The rail had a flag. You have to look real close at the 29 second mark. It looks like an american flag.

[beastlywarrior]

wow thats insane glad he got away decent

[CJM]

I mighta missed something, but did the rail just drive off and not stop???

[beastlywarrior]

Na it and the quad stopped at the bottom

[jcv400ex]

His reaction time was good! But i did chuckle a little listening to him screaming. I would have been swearing up a storm and throwing my helmet at the guy!

I would have been swearing up a storm and throwing my helmet at the guy! my friend had his dad spotting and was 4th gear WFO on a KTM exc (wide ratio trans) so he was moving at a decent clip for a dune jump. he was already commited so couldnt really stop and had no idea where the danger was..anways he ended up fine but his dad was about ready to get into a fist fight with the guy who almost got his son.

Both had flags but the rail had a very small one/hard to see

[Pipeless416]

Ok, I'll be the bad guy and say it. Broken ankle and fractured wrist = helicopter ride? Hope your buddy has good insurance.....

I'm sure at the time, you didn't know how bad or how severe, but jeez, as long as he has sensation in all his extremeties.....

... Yeah i was kinda thinking the same thing, but then again who knows how far out they were & how close a hospital was.



How did you guys get the quad out of there?

[TheLane]

i actually wasnt even there. so i have absolutely no idea.
