98Z5V Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 98Z that looks like a blast! how many acres or miles does the sand dunes have? Camera is SWEET ! how for is the nearest ER in case I wanna ride? :) Wash The place is Imperial Sand Dunes Rec Area - ISDRA. Better known as Glamis Sand Dunes. It's about 45 miles from north to south, 6 miles wide, and something like 118,000 square acres of area. Most of it is closed because of tree-huggers and environmentalists, but there's still a ton of legal riding area. Much more than you can see in one weekend, that's for sure. I get "this video is private" Should be able to see it since I linked it here. It's an unlisted video so people can't search and hit it, but the link should get you to it. I'll check the settings on it again. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Tom, Allan said that they are supposed to open the stretch between Patton's and Glamis. Haven't looked into it yet, but that would be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Very cool brother.Blue sky,sun and fun.Fuk yea. <thumbsup> How long does a tank of fuel lasts on you'r machine??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I can run for a couple hours. Doesn't last nearly as long as a full tank on the 4-stroke bikes. On longer rides, I have to carry a quart-sized Gatorade bottle in my pack, filled with pre-mix. That extra quart gets me about even with a full tank on the 4-strokes. EDIT - Plus, I'm an idiot... If guys are sitting at the bottom or on top, watching all the Shenanigans, I'm running the hill and being part of the Shenanigans... :banana: Edited March 14, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You had me at the ugly mug and American flag fuhk yeah !!! I've been trying to get these out of retirement!! Banshee 350/500 not mine ;( but my girls and she's just not that in to it! I've been trying for a few years to go to Oregon that's the nearest dunes? They have sat for along time and I have other obligations but dam you might just have started a war! Thanks bro! I mean that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You need any help with those Banshees, just let me know. I've been known to work on those in the past... <thumbsup> There's some great stuff to ride along the OR coast. That's a different kind of riding than down here - that's WET sand! :)) I know a few places up there still that can help you out, if I can't. Banshees are damn near a cult following, brother. Moreso than my 250R. That 500 just has to SCREAM, man... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I took it out in the front yard a few years back in the snow and it bucked me off right quick as it sits they need a full neglect overhaul ;( I'm a wood worker but have some knowledge I'm pushing forward for a trip to the dunes but age is an issue these beasts have become week in the hoses and have leaked vital fluid! My priority this year is to get out of the hole and then start again where I left off! You have some amazing dunes! Ill hit you up on your knowledge when the time is right! Feel freeto keep pushing the ride on me it makes my stance more perstant and might grant atleast me to break the cycle! Thanks bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 That was the best one yet love the way the sun cast your roost on the vid!! Bummer at the end :) what kind of speed you get on dry sand hills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) In some of that stuff, you can get over 50. Most "rapid blasts" are up to 40. There are times that you'll be beyond that, but it's not common. Those flats, in 5th flat-out are some of those times. I can rarely get the thing to hold in the powerband in 6th, unless it's a long, flat section. That's on the 2-stroke. The 4-strokes, you can jam those bastards up into 5th and just pin it on straights, and it'll keep pulling and pulling. Some 4-strokes will hold 4th on the hill, but many need to downshift to 3rd. Those YFZ-450s will do it. One of these trips, I'll get up to China Wall again, and get some vids from up there - that damn thing is SO steep... :eek: Edited March 18, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
