A good learning spot for the dunes would be the little dunes. Just a couple miles from dumont. That's where I took my kid to learn. Also if you see s group riding the dunes just jump in the back, that's another hood way to learn. But we will be out there Halloween weekend by the 1st finger. I have a rhino so that doesn't go fast on the dunes, but you wanna go fast we ride dirtbike when we wanna rip it up.
