No sh*t!!??? Damn, that really sucks to hear. He was a great guy and funny too. How did it happen exactly? Got any details?

Racenjasen and I just got back this afternoon. I had an awesome time. It was dune therapy that was much needed. We got some really good riding in the whole weekend, did some partying of course at night, and I got to grill up some good a$$ grub on my lil charcoal grill. I didn't bring anything this trip other than my Raptor, charcoal grill, and a cooler. I made the mistake of not bringing the damn sticks for my tent so I just roughed it even more and slept in the back of my truck. It wasn't the Taj Mahal, but it worked. This weekend I think I ate better than almost any dune weekend in a while. Rasenjasen, Steveo, and myself grilled up some marinated chicken breats, brats, peppers and onions, green beens, grilled corn on the cob, and then some. It was awesome. It was cool to hang out with you, chris1223. I think I was the only one who remembered the numbers (1223) after "chris" in his screen name. Chris. hopefully we didn't (or shall I say Pauly) scare you off with all the sh*t talk this weekend. It's all friendly love. Gotta have some thick skin camping with most of us. We like to give each other alot of sh*t at times. Looking forward to some more good times in the dunes with you and your wife. It was fun hanging out. Luckily nobody got hurt, although I managed to flip my Raptor a few times and went flying through the air for quite some time. :shocked2: I got crossed up in a whoop section while on a left turn bend in the trail and clipped a mound of sand with my front left tire. I got thrown immediatly over the bars and the bike followed. I was in 3rd or 4th gear going pretty fast when it happened so it was pretty scarey. All I could think of is oh sh*t, I hope the Raptor doesn't fall on me. LUCKILY it didn't. I got my bell rung pretty good and barely bruised my shin (even through my boots), but I came out unscathed. The Raptor only had a bent tie rod sleeve and a few flat tires by the time I got back to camp. I got sand in the beads, so they kept going low all weekend which sucked, but i still was able to keep riding. Cdavego and I "repaired" the tie rod sleeve with a shovel handle. Lvnalolife blew his trans (again ) going up there just outside of the gorge. Luckily he was able to still get his toyhauler up there with his father in law's truck though. I was going to tow it back for him, but 9digit was able to bring it back for him. Hope you get that trans problem handled once and for all, JJ. In all it was a sweet a$$ weekend. We got back in 3.5 hrs and we even stopped at EatzaPizza in St George for a half an hour. I'm glad I decided to go up there at the last minute. It was a fun weekend. a few pics... some cows in the middle of the trail we almost ran into!!! :shocked2: lil Charlie...

ANOTHER new bike??? Damn, I gotta start mowing some lawns.

I was thinking that was why. Don's funny when he's wasted. He usually doesn't make any sense when he's drunk, unlike me...I make all kinds of sense when wasted. OK, maybe I don't

why? We didn't forget about it? It's still a month away, Don.

oh yeah, sorry. I just realized you were in Victorville. Yeah fk it, come to Vegas, buy a Rhino and have a beer with some of DDR sometime!

talk to RAGDOLLMX, he might be able to do something for you on a new one at the Yamaha on W Sahara. He gets us a DDR discount

Sounds like this is your best option... unless you can find a used Rhino at a cheaper price.

really!??? That's awesome news. Where's the details?

Oh yeah, you know me! Those are two things I am good at: taking pics and having fun!

ok, I'm in! I plan on leaving Sat AM coming back on Monday. I'm all about roughin it this weekend. Cooler, bike, tent, and mini charcoal grill. Coral Pink, here I come.

These were the people I was referring to... Abbott and Pike. Tacomama (remember her? lol) told me about how Steve (Abbott) was going out there on Thursdays when they started that whole thing got started. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/i...?showtopic=1171

I didn't know you were trying to find directions. If that link doesn't help, PM me and I can give you some more descriptive directions.

All I know is that some people go out there and beat up their quads on street tires. You don't necessarily have to have street tires, but your knobbie tires will get pretty trashed if you run it hard. You may take some valuable hours off your trans as well. lol

I knew you were in Colorado Jay...and I knew you were talkin to cmyfirepole. Come on, let's all get on the same page here. I was just making a funny.

Maybe they aren't available in advance anymore (other than at the show) since the show is only a couple weeks away. That's my only guess.

Damn, Jay..you're good. You somehow managed to swipe my chair out from under me when you were in Colorado! You are a trained folding chair bandit for sure. That or you have DDR midgets working undercover for you and they are the ones that stole it. I know.... ..... :smoker:

Ross, is one of thse chairs a blue and silver Eddie Bauer one?

So you're the folding camp chair bandit!

drama? Have you MET us, Stacey? Nobody's panties are in a twist...calm down.

Tickets are still available

oh... oops, the quote button must have got clicked on accident in the other thread before I posted here.

no

Just go to ASA's website. That is where the details are.

I don't think so. You'd have to contact the guy, Sean, that puts the race on.
