@JeepingJay36 This is GREAT news! Please contact GTP Off Road 702-657-5991 for some donations as well! We are vendors out on Dumont's Vendor Row as well as have a shop in Las Vegas and love to give back when we can!!

Only a few of us planned on heading out last weekend, but at the last minute we got quite a good group together and we ended up having a really fun dune trip despite a little bit of wind. Saturday was only breezy at times and the temperature was perfect. The dunes have finally dried out but with any "dune repair", the W has created quite a few sketchy areas. There are many razorbacks, a few drop offs, and some witch eyes that usually aren't there well into dune season. The dunes were pretty difficult to read at times with the wind and overcast sky, but we managed to get some decent-paced rides in. I was super stoked to take out my new KTM with a paddle tire this trip. It's been a LONG time since I've duned on two wheels and it took me a little bit to get into the groove again, but I picked it back up and had blast on my new bike. It brought back many good memories of riding out there. I only dumped it once and that's because my front tire got swallowed up in a super soft patch. Don't worry, the GoPro got it all. haha Anyways, here's some pics... Friday night around the fire Saturday morning run Like I said, the dunes were NICE @jetjock15, @ItsWeeks and a couple others showed up for a day trip. I took my bike out for a quick little photo shoot. You don't see too many street legal dune bikes. Another buggy run This Ford was duning pretty good! We headed out to the South Pole to check out the new pole. Nice work guys! Just as we pulled up I noticed @Jmanx spotted us and followed us over to hang out. As I was suiting up for another bike ride, Mike & Jodi were going for a run and asked me if I wanted to join them. At first I was like nah, I wanted to go for a solo ride, then I decided to chase them down and join in. The desert is almost ready to start blooming. @rogers807 made for a great shot out at Taladega looking south I stopped at the top of comp and did a FB Live video. The wind was kicking up! We went for a quickie run (more or less just played around) and stopped to enjoy the sunset. It was one of the best ones of the season. Saturday night we watched Supercross on the big screen and loved the 3-4 minute fireworks display from Johnnie's camp next door. Saturday night got a little breezy, but it still wasn't too bad. We all made a group decision to be up and duning around 7:30/8 AM. We turned in and woke up to some awesome dunes. Sunday morning was perfect. You would never think a huge wind storm was coming. Chad, Steve, Ben and I duned out to the North Pole. We played around on the finger dune for a little bit. And then this happened. lol The wind came in quick and blew hard. We all packed it up and got the hell out of there.

I am in the process of bringing the FoDD back to life! The FoDD will be providing a BBQ lunch to all who register for the clean up along with presenting awards in four different categories for those who collect the most trash and whatnot! Last but not least those who sign up to become a FoDD will receive a ticket to participate in the Quick Draw following the meeting containing nice prizes donated by Rugged Radios, Kartek Off Road, Impact Signs, fellow Friends of Dumont Dunes and more! This will definitely be the clean up that brings the fun back! I look forward to seeing all of you next weekend!

Couple great screen grabs from my "oops" moment.

this was just a test run to see how it would do in the dunes. we weren't sure how it would do around the dunes. This drone could record for about 10-15 minutes, and has a top speed of 23mph. It's not easy to go 23mph... lol The speed is why i was looping around, and avoiding crashing it into a dune is why i stayed in the small area. There are so many possibilites with this. This was at 50 feet up. I think it could be safe to use it lower, making some parts look cooler. It was pretty damn fun, but i was bummed it didn't get the wheelies i pulled in the RZR. it was behind us.
