Thank you for your reply. If I may suggest, on your next brilliant post, I would strongly advise that you use the spell check feature that comes as a standard option on all computers today. When you post up something like "cheep insurane" and "if ya ask me", it makes YOU look like an IDIOT . Are you smarter than a 5th grader Thanks again for your input. My greatest hope is that someday I may be able to return the favor.

The owner is up flying the area looking for the jeep today. I'll get more info tonite. I'm thinking by now it's probably in Mexico getting loaded for a "run" Thanks for the reply skyskier

I'm not a regular poster on the boards here but this was the 2nd place I thought of to seek help. A buddy of mine just called and told me somebody stole his Jeep rubicon ( spelling ? ) out of his garage last night in Hemet. I'm really looking for a website like this one but pertaining more to the Jeep people, something with a few forum options. This was not your everyday Jeep as I understand it, had all kinds of trick, high buck after market stuff on it, stuff that will have to be parted out, CHEAP, as I'm thinking even the stupidest of thieves would try to unload it as it is. My buddy say's the wheels & tires ( goodyear 35 inchers ) are what would make this rig stand out. Thanks in advance for any help Skyskier

Just wondering if the dunes have been " freshened " up ? I'm torn between going to Parker for the 425 this weekend, or the dunes :freakin_nuts: I may have to leave Wednesday an take " the longway " around.

Hey Kevlar, check out this link. This is my pal Mike Murphy. he's same age as me, 60. He's pretty good on this thing.............for an old guy . We were into waterski racing wayyyyyyyyy back in 13 to 15 boy's class. We still like to go out & tear it up with the kids, we just gotta medicate a little more before & after

I found a Blackberry out by North Pole last saturday. Dead battery, so if you lost it, email me to ID it, I'll mail it to you or return it out at the dunes.

SORRY,...............................just found the lost & found section. Guess I shoulda stated on the opening page :freakin_nuts:

So, while I was face down in the dunes last saturday, I found a blackberry. I asked one of my daughters if she could get it to work but no luck, dead battery. Don't know the 1st thing about them, but I would assume it may have somebody's important stuff in it. If there's a better place for posting this on this site, like a lost & found, let me know or if you can, plese move this to the appropiate section. I'm new here. Thanx, skyskier

Well,............as a matter of fact, I did line up at the bottom of comp hill Sunday, SEVERAL times, with a bunch of the young ones, got my a$$ spanked every run went down to the Yamaha shop & bought a set of paddle tires today. Gonna look into some more add on stuff for a LOT more top end :freakin_nuts:

So, as I mentioned on my 1st post, I'm somewhat of a newbie here, but I've been into "duneing" for a little while. I'm thinkin about doing a total rebuild on this rig, I was checkin out all those long travel suspension rigs out there last week an I LIKE 'em :freakin_nuts: Where do I start ?

Give up ????? Take it "easy"????? What are these things you speak of? :freakin_nuts: Thanks for the welcome. I knew better than to go out alone, but it was gonna be just a short ride, I was up at 3:00 am and 1/2 a bottle of geratol with 4 800 mg of ibuprofen's, just to get a leg up on my old fart ridin pals. Ya gotta think ahead when you hit the big six o

Ok, 1st off, I'm a "nooooobie" here on your boards , I just posted the following over on Glamisdunes not knowing you Dumont peeps had your own here This is from the "Old Guy"........................I'm sore as hell today But I'm walking almost normal, and DEEPLY thankful to you for rescueing my old a$$. So I went to Dumont for the 1st time in 40 years, got a 660 raptor after taking great pain in realizing ( admitting ) I'm not 20 sumthin anymore and making the switch from 2 to 4 wheels. I figured WTF? these are the same dunes an I got 4 wheels under me, so, nooooo problem. I got tired of waiting for the rest of the old fuks I went out there with ( the same guy's I rode with 40 some years ago ) to get going, so I took off by myself for a "short ride"....................next thing I know I'm face down on the side of a dune ( out by the North Pole ) with the GD raptor on top of me and I have NO FRICKIN WAY of getting it off me I mean NO WAY, the rear wheel is on my hip, the front wheel on my crossed ankles and I can not budge it, NO F'in way! , with the left handle bar BURIED. When you guy's pulled up I was rummy, seein stars an all . I'm ALMOST sure I mumbled a "thanks" or some semblence of such, but it was not enough, so THANKS AGAIN. I'll be back out in Dumont or Glamis thursday, my old fart buddies said they'll lift me onto the seat and all will be good. BTW, these are the same "old fart buddies" that will be draggin me back into the boat this summer, tellin me I'm too old to be trying to land the double backflip on the skyski I think they're full of IT ! I woulda posted some pics, but I think my camera is still buried at the crash site :freakin_nuts:
