I don't know you, but you look very nice! My prom is soon!

NICE!! The project is looking awesome! Mom said the ride was a little rough, are you going to do some leafspring adjustments to soften it up? I can't wait, hope we get a cool day this summer to go out in it. It needs a bass tube and some kick a$$ speakers :ahhhhh: :no_no:

Man I feel your pain! Shattered my ankle in a rail roll over xmas weekend. Reconstructive surgery and two screws and pins later. But I am back on my feet now! P.S use the injury the chicks dig it and wait on you hand and well.... foot! GET BETTER SOON!

Man that sucks! Find um and hang um :worthless_without_pics: Thieves SUCK

Sounds like it is coming along good. :worthless_without_pics: I wish I could be there for the trial run.

The harnesses were way out of date and old. The car had top but shattered when we flipped, but we were on dirt not sand. Definately would not have thought of that. Here are some pictures of broken equipment and car.

Hi I am new here, my mom told me about this site and I thought since you guys are all into quads, buggys, and such, that I would share my story. While this didn't happen at Dumont it still involves a sand rail. I have enjoyed riding my quad and in the rails of my stepdad and his friends for several years. I look forward to riding and camping everytime I visit my mom. I live in Wa State. I came down to visit for Christmas vacation looking forward to another ride somewhere. This time we chose to stay close to home and went to Johnson Valley. We had only been in camp for a couple of hours whenit was time to go for a ride. I opted to ride with one of friends in his rail. He had been driving for many years and I trusted his driving ability. So I just hopped in, strapped in and away we went. Where we head was a dry lake bed cruising along, going a good speed, but not too fast. Somehow we ended up further down the bed then we thought, it was after dark. At the end of the lake bed is a small wash. The next thing I remember is the feeling of flying, then came the impact as we slammed into the side of the wash, I felt a feeling of moving forward, then nothing. I opened my eyes and knew something was wrong, my head was in the dirt and I could see my friend hanging above me. I heard my mom call my name asking if I was ok. I knew I was going to be ok after that. My friend was a differant story. He was in and out of conciousness and was hanging by only the lap belt. It was very scary to see and be a part of that. While my straps held his shoulder straps had not, they broke. I ended up with a head contusion and a shattered ankle. He ended up with a pancake sized blood clot in his brain and a broken knee. He spent almost a month in a coma. While he is out of a coma and is on the slow road back to recovery, I don't know if he'll ever be the same. I know I won't. I have already been back on my quad, went Christmas day not knowing ankle was shattered, was told it was just a sprang by emergency room. I am looking forward to spring break to get back in a rail, I am ready. But I just wanted to remind everyone to check your safety equipment. If we had, my friend's harness would be new and he wouldn't have hit his head. Sometimes you over look things like that. Everyone take care out riding the dunes and be safe. The Wa State Crew
