It was a great weekend. I rolled in at 1am Friday night after work. I was staying with Christina and Bill. THANK YOU GUYS!!! for letting me stay with you. Got in a morning run Saturday and played with the suspension along the way. I always have to look at the video to see what happened when lol. but the camera wasn't on the first run as i had to hurry and get ready. There was a lot of following the rails and a pretty big group in there. Lots of new people for me to meet again as well. On the way back to camp we dropped over the top of comp and the sand was SUPER soft. I came up to the top, slowed, flopped over and slip to 90* to the hill. The rider behind me came up, and stopped right behind me. I looked down the hill and saw a yellow quad rolling down the hill (NOT on the wheels) with the rider sitting on the hill. Rolled down there to check it out and he was ok, and the quad just had a broken flag pole. That was it for the morning. I left camp at noon on Saturday with Chad, a dirt bike guy (i think Eric) and one other quad rider. We were cruising around for a while having a good time then i saw some people sitting at comp, so i bailed the line and went to comp. Nope, didn't know anyone. Saw Pete and the group rolling across Banshee so time to play catch up. I think this was the big line of the day with at least 4 cars, an XP and 5-6 quads. Terry joined in half way through making it a great group. i followed Lyndsay (not sure on spelling) and that girl can ride, but it was dangerous as she is on the throttle and makes you pay if you are too close... We stopped out somewhere, when pete broke the brakes on his rail. So the group kinda split up. Terry, Steve, Greg, and one other rail, Ken, one other quad, and I were together, when Greg decided to test the air bags on his car. By airbags i mean the front tires (not taking credit for airbag relation). he flopped over one razor just in time to find a witches eye just big enough for his whole car (yes I have part of it on video.) I was the rider behind him so i checked if he was ok, and he was good, but the rail was hurt. Both Tie rods pulled out of the rack and the tires were both pointed out, and it was buried pretty good. it took at least an hour of digging, 2 rails and Steve's XP to get it out. Terry tried first and was hanging on the side of a dune for a good half hour stuck with a super strap while we kept diggin. The second rail got stuck to, yes Greg's car was stuck GOOD!! A little more time, and digging and some help from an XP and we finally got the car down the hill. Steve went to go get some tools and help and we hung out for a while. Steve came back with straps, and more people, and snacks... thanks Steve!! Finally got the car moving and headed back about dusk. crash was about 3pm or so i think, so and hour and a half to remove and "fixup" the car to get out of there. I was in the dunes from noon till dark... I was happy. sunday i woke up to Pete and crew getting ready for a ride so i jumped up and got ready quick. this was at about 8:30am i guess and we got our ride in, which is where pete's photo came from that is above. we did a jump spot on this run but i wasn't feeling that one too much, and was bottoming out. We cruised around a little more, then went to comp. Christina, Bill, Aundrea, and steve came over to comp so i joined in with them, as Pete was going back to camp. We cruised for a bit and had some fun. Back to camp. Lots of people were already leaving or had left already. hang out for a bit, then lunch, and Pete's getting ready for a run. stuff the last chips in my face put on my helmet and GO.. last run of the weekend. Pete in the rail and one other rail and me as the only quad. I was able to keep up ok. Very nice last run with the wind starting to kick up though. Everyone was loading up as the wind was rolling in. I'll work on some videos this week. Overall a nice weekend of riding.. with some "interesting" campfire times. Have a little more tuning to do on the shocks i think, but rolled out with everything intact.
