Got huevos? He does

Editing makes a differance. If the Canal Jump was editted like that it would not seem to the untrained eye that some crazed buggy didn't just fly thru somebodys camp

SLAP...IS...ROLLING.

Major NADS right there. Holy shiat!

Too much editing in MY opinion.

I wanted to see the jump and they kept editing, and editing, and editing....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

Some people saw a buggy going through camps. Others saw an intentional placement of vehicles and rigs for the express purpose of passing through known territory for a planned jump versus flying through camps of strangers. No editing needed.

A new twist to "Night Training" ?

Exactly right on Vicki...

But what happens if the CBD or PEER gets a hold of the Buggy Jump video and took it to Washinton DC....Or some other video like that...

We know the truth, but the people with the power in Washington, who have never been to the dunes, are the people who will eventually close or keep open OHV areas.

Appearances are important.....

So, we water down our sport to the point of boredom just because we are afraid of someone using pictures of us out of context in some misguided attempt at closing us down?

I have news for you. Pictures like that can be taken virtually every weekend of the season.

This IS what duning is. Denying it will serve no purpose.

If you restrict Glamis to 20mph "safe and sane" duning you will be the ones responsible for destroying Glamis, not the Eco-nuts.

Shall we separate the dunes into "Bunny trails" and "Black Diamond"?

He shoulda had spotters... just like Robby Gordon always does

Ahhhhh... this has been the battle cry for a while now, for some.

Put your head down, apologize for what you do, shhhhhh don't tell anyone what it's really like.

And what will we get for this cowed behavior?

Precisely what we've gotten for the last thirty years of cowed behavior. Closure after closure and the sound of retreat at every turn.

Let me counter your question with my own question. There was a piece of crap turned out years ago called something like "Offroad to Ruin" created by the anti-access groups and filled with mountains of garbage.

Has that piece of trash had any kind of lasting effect that you know of? It was as bad a hit piece as we could possibly expect.

What was the end result?

Vicki

Instead of living in fear of CBD and PEER and blaming our fellow duners for acts that could be misconstrued as "dangerous" and used against us ...why don't we start focusing our effort off of US as offroaders and start focusing our efforts on the BLM and the lawsuits... Let the BLM LEOs worry about illegal or unsafe activity... that's their job.

Besides, your giving the folks in Washington way too much credit... they won't close the dunes... we will...

I saw that on I think stunt junkies, on the TV show they showed the jump from the take off angle, then went to commercial, it didnt look like he made it, then they showed the rest from the landing. Showed it uncut in several different angles. I have only seen the show a couple times, but some of the stunts are pretty cool.

Hozay, I agree with you. The beginning fight was to have the closures lifted. It now seems to be a very different fight; a defensive mode to keep open what little land is left. The fight against trash is a success, and will be a bigger success as the years go on thanks to all of us coming together. The education on wildlife grows and grows amongst the duning community. Good dune ettiquette is being expressed and practiced much more than it ever has. How to ride and dune safety is being pressed very hard. Good. HOWEVER, we seem to be taking a defensive mode when an offensive posture should be expressed. Use all of these successes as a tool against these closures and curfews. Issues that were already being taken care of are priority of the governing bodies, and should not be.

That was a PLANNED Stunt.....Saw it on TV monyhs ago

That was nuts!!

I think was the first to do that stunt...except it was on accident and I didn't do a backflip.....and there wasn't a train involved......and there was no one watching.......actually, i think it was a little whoop that I jumped, but felt like I did a backflip over a train.

I'll make a deal with them...

If they open the closures, I promise I will never jump the canal...

Are we going to resort to hiding what we do becasue we dont want them to use our fun against us?


Eff'em

Aparantly.

i got this guy on camera doing a back flip but i missed the landing .....Tim

Backflippy

The McSlappview Review.

Slap figured this would be da perfect place to post this.

You know what Slappy love to do (besides stretching celephane wrap across Mrs. McDuners toilet bowl in the middle of the night)? Slappy love to help people when they ask for it. The other day Slappy's neighbor, Johnny, strolled up into Slappy's garage as Slap was shinin up the McSlappmachines shoes.
"Hey Slappy" he said, "I know that nobody dune like Slappy dune, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking my brand new quad down to Mother Glamis and test it for me?"
Slappy don't want to let him down and say no, so da Slapster said, "Sure, but what would you like Slappy to test for Johnny".
"Well Slappy, I would like your expert opinion on how it fly's through the air, how it handles the whoops, and how the suspension responds on really hard landings. And don't worry if you crash it, I'm sure it can handle it. Just give it the full blown Slappy Review" he said. This made Slappy real curious.
"Johnny, Slappy sure don't want to hurt your new bike. Are you sure you want the McSlappview Review?"
Johnny just laughed out loud at Slap and said, "There ain't no way your going to hurt this bike Slappy, and I even dare you to try." OOOHHH BOY!

It was a beautimus sunny day when Slappy pulled into Mother G, fully expecting a 'slapptacious' time while testing Johnny's new quad. Slap immediately unloaded the bike, threw on some gear, and fired up the beast.

First Test: WHOOP-DEE-DOOS

The Sand Highway along hwy 78 would provide the perfect spot for this test; hundreds of mogul type whoops.
Slappy sure could feel the power as he pegged the quad down a slope towards a set of huge whoops on Sand highway. Man, Slappy musta been doing at least 50 miles per hour before he jumped off Johnny's bike, letting it hit the whoops for its first test. Slappy gotta say, it handled the first few ok, but by the time it hit the 4th whoop, it nose-dived and went tail-pipe over A-arms nearly 7 times. Plastic flew everywhere! Slappy couldn't believe it...The crossbar pad didnt do a thing for the bike, and the brand new suspension did nothing to help it get through the whoops either...Slappy gonna recommend that Johnny soften up the compression and stiffen the rebound, along with buying a different crossbar pad...

First Test Results:
Whoops: F
Handling: D

Second Test: FLIGHT TEST

Slappy had to find hisself a real good jump for da flight test, and who better to ask than Mrs. Fringe Toed Lizard, she be knowin where all the good jumps are. Slappy found her just south of the Glamis store and asked her for the favor, "Hi there Mrs. Fringe" Slappy said, "Where be a good spot to catch some air?"
"Right over yonder Slappy" she said, "I'll come along and be your spotter for ya."
We zipped on over to the spot, and it looked perfect. When Mrs. Fringe gave the "ALL CLEAR TONGUE WAVE", Slappy gassed it and headed towards the jump...3rd...4th...5th gear pegged. Just before the lip, Slap bailed off and watched the quad sail hi into the air..."FFFOOOOOOOMMMMM"...It floated effortlessly, kinda like Mr. Red Tail when he's out on the hunt. It floated straight and true, not leaning one way or the other, a very stable flyer. BUT, the landing was a different story. It hit the ground with a loud "THUD", then bounced like a big red balloon ball (exactly like the ones you used to play with in elementary school), half of the plastic flew all over the place (again), it then tumbled a couple times and came to rest on its side.
"Well Mrs. Fringe, what did you think of the flight test" Slappy asked.
"I think it flew real nice Slappy, but your going to have to deduct some points for the horrible landing" she said.
"Your right Mrs. Fringe, that suspension didn't do too well on this test either."

Flight Test Results:
In Air: A-
Handling/landing: F

Third Test--CRASH TEST

Slappy just can't believe dat Johnny wanted the full blown McSlappview Review. But, dats what he wanted. Slappy was gonna need some room for this one, and the perfect spot would be in da washes. Slappy lined up straight out from train tressle #3 and hit da gas. Slappy pulled the front end up in a wheelie, shifted to 4rth gear, and slipped off the back. Honestly though, these tests were beating Slappy up worse than Mrs. McDuner ever could. Slappy don't think he could do this for a living. Anyways, back to the test. Just as the front end came down, the bike slammed head on into the concrete wall of tressle #3 "KRRRRAAAAAAKKK"! Its forward momentum stopped, but the rear end went flipping over the front in a summersault motion, and straight up into the air...Plastic flew all over the place (again), headlights exploded, A-arms destroyed, and both front tires popped. Man, it sure didn't do well on this test either. But, it did start when Slappy pushed the start button, so it will get points for that. Slappy then picked up ALL the pieces and loaded it up on the trailer and headed for home.

Crash Test Results:
Handling: C-
Reliability: B- (points awarded for engine starting)

Johnny was standing in his driveway as Slappy pulled up to the curb. He was smiling proudly and waiving as he walked up to the trailer. But when Johnny saw the pieces of his quad lying there on the trailer, his expression changed from "HAPPY" to "SORROW". "OH MY GOD SLAPPY" Johnny said, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?"
Slappy could tell from Johnny's expressions and reaction that he was disappointed in his quads performance.
"Well Johnny" Slap said, "The OVERALL rating from the McSlappview Review on your quad is a 'flabbermcnastified' D+."
Johnny sank to his knees, placed his head in his hands, and almost started crying. As Slappy patted him on the head, he looked over into Johnny's garage and noticed a very nice Funco Buggy. "Hey Johnny, what do you say we give your Funco the ol McSlappview Review?"

Sweet review Slappy

time to see some one do it on a Rhino.

Turning off-roaders into potheads?

We need to get that dude to backflip the canal, backflip the Gecko Ranger Station, backflip off the top of Olds and of course backflip a few trains on the Wash Rd. That will surely help keep the dunes open. If he makes all four he can set-up a ramp and backflip over the 78 and over GBS for charity...............

Good idea. Charge admission and donate the proceeds to the cause.

before everyone throws a fit about jeff driving through the camp, find a person in the camp that objected, i was there and no one did

I liken the free and encouraged showing of rule/regulation/law breaking videos to guns.
We all want to keep our guns, don't we?
We all want to be able to use our guns when we want, right?
We would never leave them laying about for criminals to pick up and misuse, would we?
Many will say it's not, and shoot the messenger if you must, but it IS the same thing.

I hope none of the enviro whackjobs never see the Burger King "Big Huckin Chicken" commercial.



They'd file lawsuits to outlaw motorcycles and chicken abuse.



Time to quit being defensive and start going on the offensive.

You are doing a great job being offensive.

Seriously, I agree.

New ad to soon be posted:


WANTED TO TRADE:

Gas-guzzling, fear inducing, stomach churning, vehicle of death, land and wee animal destruction. I'm tired of scaring innocent people who come to the dunes, and the offensive noise is causing me to get wrinkles in my face from all of the stupid-ass smiling it's been causing me all these years. Though I thought I was enjoying myself going to the sand dunes, and spending time with family and friends; I've been enlightened in how my sport causes other people to have nightmares long into their years from all of the "crazy stunts" I've been doing, not to mention the number of weeds I've trashed with my tires, and how the marks left by our ties are there for centuries. Has four tires, 24' of travel, 4 seats, 500 HP Vette V-8, and custom paint job.

Willing to trade for solar powered scooter, capable of only traversing designated 'nature trails' in public parks, for a nominal fee; or designated "inner city operating areas for wheeled vehicles not under computer and CBD control"

"GOOD STUFF"

Or potheads into Off-Roaders cause that looked pretty sweet.

DD, SLAP...IS...ROLLING
