Who said i sit around and dwell on the rich folks? I have expensive toys too, but i actually put them to good use. I go out to ride(and drive). Id rather ride or drive somewhere with MUCH better terrain and safer atmosphere. there is a reason why SandSports magazine placed glamis on the bottom of their "top places to ride" list. Its shitty trerrain and is overcrowded. The dunes arent that big, the terrain doesnt vary, and you risk getting hurt by someone else. its weak...
Glamis is all posers and flat billers...

Well from the bitching you did in your last post about them, I just assumed. I go to Glamis and have an awesome time. Sucks that you can't go there and do the same.

Im not trying to take away from the fun you're having but have you ever made a trip to another dune spot? I really think you should do yourself the favor and check out other places. If you have the time make a trip upto oregon camp at the Spinreel campground near Coos Bay. That place is rediculous. the terrain is fenominal. You have everything from fairly hardpacked sand tight trails in the woods, fast roads(soft sand) in the woods, wide open dudes, beaches, creek crossings. there are like 6 lakes. There are some tree shots that are so steep and tall that you wont make it unless you have stroked out banshee, or some other tricked quad. there are what we call lake shots. where a huge dune just disappars into a lake so once you go down it you have no place to turn around so again takes a lot of power. You can ride all day and never have any close calls. Its worth the trip.

lol, I can drive to Glamis in less than 4 hours. I don't even want to think about how long of a drive it is to that place, but it sounds nice. :P
