It held together but started to sag down a bit and melted through a small coolant hose. He got 1 ride out of it though. -

ride report: early morning run, Sunday June 10th, 2012
dunefreak posted a topic in Dumont Happenings
What a kickazz day at Dumont. I always love those smooth, razored out dunes. We sure did get lucky with the weather. It was super cool all morning and only got up to about 92° when we left at ~12:30. The slight winds kept things cool. We had a good size group that made it out. I think there was 11 or 12 people plus the Pahrump group of a few side by sides. Super nice folks. Chadwick, lvnalolife and I left Henderson at 3:30am. We met up at the gas station and saw mineurbiz, dune cruzer and his buddy Scott waiting. We loaded up mineurbiz's quad on our trailer and carpooled. Sand_YFZ and Mike were shortly behind us. We pulled into Dumont just before the sun rose. It was a little windy and about 71°. The sun peaked up just as we started getting geared up to ride. b370 getting ready an excited to dune his XP White truck day at Dumont. One more in the group pulled in too. haha This never gets old! We saw the group from Pahrump pull in over near bathroom 10. Together, we were the only ones there. Sand_YFZ's gorgeous piece of work Sand_YFZ and mineurbiz fueling up I told Scott (langslair) to go make some tracks in that smooth sand for a photo op. He had no problem volunteering. Then at the bottom of the hill his pipe came apart. We sort of "repaired" it. Aaron making some final adjustments for the soft sand. to be continued.... gotta run -

It was great! Temps weren't bad at all thanks to a little wind. Dunes were virgin of course and we had a great sized group. Got a handful of kickass runs in. I'll post what pics I took tomorrow. Just woke up and I'm going back to bed. lol -

I can't ever do Wednesdays. Unless more people start showing up and want to do Wed as well, I don't think we can since me and Anna we were 50% of the group last night. lol -

Sweet! We'll be leaving the gas station on Blue Diamond & Red Rock turnoff probably around 4am. Once at Dumont we plan on parking off to the left by the base of the big face hill and superbowl. We can meet u either place. -

Remember the forecast HIGH temp is usually around like 4pm. It will be in the the 70's and 80's early in the morning. -

I need to talk to Mike and Aaron first. -
I've just heard of drag racer guys being harassed about their pipes in the past. I though it was because of the noise levels, but it was probably more for spark arrestors. They fit that certain profile though and were probably doing something else illegal in the first place.

Not jaded.... acclimated. -
^ there you go. Most super loud pipes don't have spark arrestors. I think there still is a noise limit, but it's a CA law, not Dumont/ BLM.

I think we're going to have some nice weather Sunday! High of only ~100 instead of like 109 or 110. That's not bad at all. We might end up making this a whole day trip. -
Welcome to the site, Doug. DB levels aren't really highly enforced at Dumont unless you are already busted for something else they'll probably write you up.

d*ck LMAO Yeah we always do and get little feedback from FB. Most duners who actually dune/ ride, especially those who are die hard summer runners, are here on DDR. -
new Wi Fi remote now available for the Go Pro
dunefreak replied to dunefreak's topic in General Discussion
It's only $99 for the whole kit. The website seemed to start lagging shortly after I posted this. It was right after I got the email about it from Go Pro. Maybe it's popularity has draw a ton of traffic to their site. ? It says on their site the wifi signal is good up to 600 ft. It works on the Hero 1 or 2 according to the website -

Welcome to the site! See you guys out there. -
I'm pretty stoked about this. Gotta order one up soon! This will come in handy capturing photos on a ride instead of having to grab still frames from videos wasting battery life and card space. Smart phone app coming soon too! I like the wrist mounted switch and screen. I'll probably mount that on my handlebars or right wrist. http://gopro.com/hd-...c-remote-combo/

Badass. Glad we have a good group going! Still surprised there aren't more "non-DDR-regulars" that want to join us. Let's go, lurkers! -
I WOULD KEEP ALL RACING POST'S ON A NEED TO KNOW!
dunefreak replied to sfvmike's topic in Dumont Happenings
From my experience in hosting events at Dumont, I was told by the BLM if you are advertising it in any way, collecting money, registering participants or giving out prizes you need a permit. IMO, these races are borderline organized. Informal, but still organized and competitive in the LEO's eyes. They really arent much different than people talking about going out on Presidents Day and racing each other up comp hill. Again, many other factors come into play when citations get written.
