Nothing like looking out the side window to see where you're goin'! That pilot is one gutsy (or very very stupid) SOB.

Notice how the suspension in the rear doesn't even droop when he's trying to do his wheelies?

Absolutely NOT!!!!!!!! I have only loaned one of my possessions worth any decent amount of money and that is my quad and only to 1 person who has been with me on almost every trip for the past 3 years. He's actually ridden it more than me in the last year or so since I got my Rhino. He has only crashed it once, the second time he ever rode it, and immediately went and bought new bars to replace the ones he bent without being asked. He also services it every time he borrows it. But there's still no way in hell he'll EVER borrow the hauler, even if he did offer to pay on top of doing all the maintenance.

Wouldn't be the first time. One of my employee's old friends from Montana has a ranch with roughly 20,000 acres that's been in his family for generations. All of a sudden CBD sends him a letter saying that he had to cease and desist from running cattle on a part of his ranch due to an endangered plant. He went to check it out and he had never seen the plant before in his life and all of a sudden there's a huge patch of it smack dab in the middle of his ranch. There is no way for anyone to know it was there without trespassing. A friend flew over one day and noticed that the patch of flowers was a perfect rectangle. Turns out the previous fall a group of "greenies" had air dropped seed from the endangered plant into a meadow on the ranch because they didn't like the cows because they "destroy land" and emit too much methane.

Have you been injured on a yamaha rhino side-by-side atv or received a recall letter from yamaha on this atv ? you may be entitled to compensation. contact glenn lerner the heavy hitters bro at :attorney charles johnson 1-800-760-9702. # don't work WTF! IT WAS JUST IN THE REVIEW JOURNAL TODAY
Or how bout we just delete this thread and tell the idiots, who drive like an azz and then when they run out of talent blame it on someone else because they haven't learned how the take responsibility for their own actions, to shut the hell up and quit makin' the lawers millions of dollars.

Hippie no. He sounds like one of those CBD eco-terrorist greenie money grubbing hypocrites. If it sounds like a greenie and looks like a greenie it probably is a greenie. These greenie pieces of garbage are REALLY good about using only part of the truth to get what they want. They spout BS propaganda to get people that don't have a clue what the real situation is to be on their side. So many people are willing to jump on the save the enviroment band wagon without having all the facts. These eco-terrorist NEVER give all the facts. They don't care about what they are fighting for as much as the money they get paid. I wish that all those people would just mind their own buisness or better yet just eat a bullet and end their obviously miserable exsistance.
Where I come from hippie=greenie, rock licker, tree hugger, nut butt, eco nazi, nature nazi and so on.
Perfect example of how ignorant these people are- Penn and Teller's show Bullshit, when they sent a group into an Earth Day gathering with a petition to ban "Di-hydrogen Monoxide", all they told people was that it was everywhere and can kill. Thousands of people signed it because it was "bad for the environment". STUPID HIPPIES!!!!!! Then they showed the clips where the crew told the people who signed the petition that Di-hydrogen Monoxide was actually the scientific name for WATER. The people felt like complete a$$es and actually admitted that they only signed it because someone told them it was bad. Maybe we tell them it is really really good for the environment to jump off a cliff, ya never know, it just might work.

Beau, no I have not been to Dumont, although I am planning a sandboarding trip there this spring. I have been to other dunes nearby.
Gotta love it.... Yet another person who has never been to a place but feels the need to tell us what to do and how to do it. :freakin_nuts: hippies I swear.

The Amargosa River distinct population segment of the Mojave fringe-toed lizard only occurs at Dumont Dunes, Coyote Holes, and Ibex Dunes (Death Valley). It is genetically distinct from all other fringe-toed lizards, such as those commonly found at other sites in the southern Mojave. The species in question is a California/Arizona native, not from Africa; the common name "fringe-toed lizard" is also applied to many lizards worldwide which have independently evolved fringed toes to run on fine sand.
I believe it is possible for this isolated lizard population to coexist with ORVs at the Dumont Dunes, but it means that certain dune areas, particularly those that still have vegetation, probably need to be protected. Also, illegal ORV use at Ibex Dunes does not help lizards or riders; it gives authorities more reason to regulate.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever been to Dumont?

YES IT TOOK OFF!!!!!! told ya so to whoever said it wouldn't

And I aslo found they are not native to North America...
Acanthodactylus is a genus of lizards within the Lacertidae family, commonly referred to as fringe-fingered or fringe-toed lizards.
They are native to a wide area in Africa and southern Europe; across the Sahara Desert, and up to the Iberian peninsula. Though the lizards prefer dry and sparsely-vegetated regions, it is not strictly tied to an arid terrain, so it is not uncommon to come across it in various environments.
The Acanthodactylus's coloration and the pattern of its spots is extremely variable, so it is unsurprising that zoologists have, at one time or another, classified every variety as a separate species.
Every saurian of this genus is very aggressive and gets continuously involved in skirmishes with other members of its species. The males strenuously defend the borders of their territories.
The Acanthodactylus are oviparous. The number of eggs in a clutch ranges from 3 to 7. The length of an adult of the species is, on average, between 18 to 20 centimeters.
If that is the case then FWS, or any other agency for that matter, has no authority to mandate critical habitat for the lizards.

What size tires are you running , front and rear?
Nice rhino.
25"
-
yep. does your rhino sit really high or does the pic make it look higher
Well, the pic makes it look a bit higher because of the lower angle but when people are in it it squats a little more.
This pic is a better look at how it sits. The kit on this one is the HCR +6 kit with Fox remote reservoirs. Clicky If you do the LT thing make sure you get the frame supports to prevent ripping the a-arm bolts through the frame cause if you hit a big rock at speed or land funny off a jump they will rip out. I know I don't have them in the pic but they are on now.

I love my long travel! 10 times more stable. I've had a few instances since I have installed it that I knew that if I didn't have it the chances of rolling were almost 100%.
The only problem I have with it is now that I don't have to lift through the big stuff there isn't enough power. So I have recently spent quite a bit more money than I had originally planned on.

Havn't seen it on the board but one of my favorite words is "Shmammered"

That turned out awesome! Hopefully it lasts....

Not sure about the fight, but the truck flip is on ESPN. You should be able to get that no prob. :beer_bang:
I'm not sure if the truck backflip is gonna happen Pete. The driver that was going to do it was testing into cardboard boxes and after a few he ended up breaking his back. Hopefully they find a replacement. Experiment Clicky

I have ridden dunes in the snow before. About 4 years ago my group decided to go to Crescent Dunes for TDay instead of Dumont. It snowed about 3" one day and it was a blast, well except for freezing our off.

:
your 100% right i have almost no suspension so i can't run through the whoops so i stay over to the right where the fast rails always run and been doing that for 20 years i did'nt just buy a car yesterday!! and keep in mind that stugot car (which is a very nice car) weighs about 2000 lbs. ever heard about power to weight ratio???? you wanna ride ??
well hate to tell you this but a 2000 pound car at 1480 horsepower is a much better horsepower to weight ratio than your rail.
300hp 728lbs is less than 1hp to 2lbs
1480hp 2000lbs is nearly 1.5hp to 2lbs

I would say that you will be absolutely fine with no paddles. Everybody makes paddles out to be absolutely necessary, they're not. Yes they are the "right tool for the job" but they only make it easier to get around on the bigger dunes since you can just point and go.
-
you are pretty nuts if you think you can hit 90-100 up comp.. the hills not long enough.
The Monster Rails with STUGOTS on the wing hits 116 on comp although it has 30" of travel and 1480hp. Oh and that's on GPS not on the speedo.
flatbiller style helmet?
