for riders who like the dunes GLAMIS..

I love the sand script and that picture of the Attex is insane. You need to upload that one to the gallery in the Attex section so everyone can drool over it. I hope you got video of that.

what a week at GLAMIS..WOW are you guys in for a treat...cant wait to see those vids

Well, we're home. What a GREAT WEEKEND. You have NO IDEA. We'll be getting some videos up at soon as we can. I was so close to hurling on "several" occasions & lost my mojo on several others. At least a half dozen times climbing a few bigger dunes, I'd get almost to the top & fall out of it. That had a creep factor of about 10+10. It was a fun, fast weekend & we hope you'll like what we have to share.

I love the guy in the green shirt at 4:09, in the sand drag vid, pointing at you two as you go by, He's probably saying "whoa, DUDE, check out those things!" Then around 4:21 everybody is trippin' on ya'll. I love it!

The Badlands park in NW Indiana has pea gravel/sand areas. I don't consider it any fun in a normal aatv. The right tires would help.. runamuk style or sand tires.

Your video from Oldsmobile hill makes you realize just how big this area is and just how far you might have to walk if you had a problem with your machine. The video that showed the springers and the motorcycles jumping give you a Small idea of what you might encounter at the top of any hill.
Whipper you have done a fine job of building some beautiful machines that get the job done in impossible sand and you are to be congratulated.
I enjoyed the videos but every time I see your machines tearing up and down the dunes or the sand washes around Phoenix I get home sick. Well you can't have it all.

Whipper the Dune Emperor

If you have never been to the dunes it's hard to understand just how soft that sand is and just how easy it is to get stuck. One little mistake and you have to spend a lot of time digging out. If your in the dunes with a quad or a rail you always park facing downhill other wise you get stuck on the take off. The sand is soft and the hills steep and a minor mistake can ruin your day.

Every hill climb is a risk because you never know what waits on the other side and sometimes the wind cuts the dunes to the point that the other side of that hill is a straight drop off.

That being said the springers (The ATTEX and MaxIV's) seem to eat the tallest dunes and make what is a difficult task look easy. If you have never been to the dunes it's an experience to have a machine that can even move over this soft sand and when you are able to find a machine the performs in soft sand it gives you an almost invincible feeling.

On any good day at the dunes you see will hundreds of machines set up with V-8 engines, turbos, light 800 pound machines with 200 plus horse power motorcycle engines and of course hundreds of well set up quads and motorcycles.

Many of the sand rails cost over $80,000.00 so to go there with a 6x6 that even gets a second look is something special. Congratulations Whipper on your machine and some excellent videos.
You have a wonderful machine there and I am sure you and your friends enjoyed your day.
