Just got home. I have to work tomorrow but I stayed as late as possible today (Sun night). It was a really great weekend. The dunes got pretty beat but it didn't slow us down one bit. I burned every last drop of race fuel that I brought this weekend. We got some badass runs in and had a really good group. Off to bed. I'll post more when I get around to it. Until then, here was tonight's sunset I snapped with my phone.

Rob & Rick made it. Jason & I are rolling right now. yiah

80grit sent me a message last night when they were on their way to Dumont that Rick (High Fly) blew out of a front tire on his coach. Hopefully they got it fixed and made it to D ok! I got the green light to leave work early today so if all goes well I'll be there this afternoon along with JVZ.

Hey Rick! I think we've met before. You're Rob's buddy right? I wish I could get out there Thurs night, but have to work Friday. Gonna have to see if I can maybe change that. haha See ya out there Friday. Rob is parking with us.

Thanks for posting up the info, pics and videos, Doug!

That's too bad. This is not a good way to help an event grow. Not everyone is on FB, Instagram, etc these days. Forums are still the go-to spot for specific dune info. I would think the event promoters would want to get the pics, videos and general info of how it all went posted on here. Maybe they're just busy.

Oops! That soft sand can be nice but can also bite back and stop you dead in your tracks. haha Thanks for the report & vid! Every time I watch a video of a dirtbike in the dunes it makes me want to pick up another dune bike.

Well I wasn't there but I'll post up what pics I saw posted by Newly & UTV Guide.

Will you take 35,000?

Looks like a different guy, but whoa!

Some pretty crazy carnage for El Martillo Racing. Not sure exactly what happen, but I guess everyone is ok.

Pretty disappointing. They test all year long and still seem to have these issues every year. He can't catch a break.

Here's a couple hours of duning condensed down to about a minute. It's a time lapse taken with my Hero 2.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Injuries suck big time and are very scary when they happen. Hoping he recovers quickly and 100%. Donation made and link shared on our FB page. Good luck and please keep us posted on his progress/ condition.

spill it! Those idiots deserve to be flamed again for being irresponsible.

Great pics, Jodi. Sounds like it was pretty nice out there other than your neighbors.

It's easy to get decent quality wide shots. Those buggies that I snapped shots of with my DSLR were about a 1/4 mile away.

hahaha The pics of the buggies (post#11) were taken with my DSLR, but all the in-car shots and some jumping pics were with my GoPro 4 Silver.

Great job on that video, Eric. I thoroughly enjoyed it on mute. lol As for my GoPro pics, I tweaked a few just little but most of them are right out of the camera. It takes amazing shots even in low light. Then if you get the right lighting, they really pop. Those are usually the ones I add a little of my personal touch to and they turn out to be some of my favorites.

I saw that kiddie track last trip. It was huge. Sorry to hear about the injuries. People aren't going to stop making them though. It's inevitable that they will appear out there. Just gotta be very much on guard when cruising the camp areas.

Best time of year...Dakar, Supercross, and dune season!

This is lost and found. And they did post it.
