I had a great weekend out there. Those winds were pretty nasty at times and those dunes were super steep, soft, and unpredictable, BUT we still had a kickass time. We managed to squeeze in some killer runs in between the wind gusts.
When I woke up just before sunrise on Saturday I got my camera ready for a sunrise pic, then relaized I left my memory card at home. 80grit hooked me up bigtime though. Thank again Rob. You are a life saver. I'll mail it back to ya.
Saturday was windy all day. Just when you thought it was calming down a big gust would come up. It was cool though. Like I said, it calmed down just enough to get some runs in. Sunday turned out to be a great day. It was windy in the AM and just about everyone boned out of camp except for a few. We went on a group buggy ride and that's when Richie put it on it's lid. That sucked but could always have been way worse. Then like a trooper, he went back to camp, straightened his whip out and checked some stuff, and off he was again....until he broke a 2nd axle at comp doing a wheelie.
Sunday afternoon we went on a very long mellow run. That was just what I needed after a weekend of getting sandblasted. It was virgin sand everwhere, the dunes were pretty easy to read that time of day, and everyone hung in line together.
My car did great other than some very minor stuff. Raptor did good as usual and the hauler was somewhat cooperative. This trip was just what I needed though. I thought I was way daled in and ready for the season, but turns out I still have some stuff to get done. lol
We didn't leave until about 6:30/ 7 o clock Sun night. :porn:
