We've done it!
I had a stubborn friend from Belarus that begged me to go to Glamis, and asked if he can bring a snowboard to ski the dunes. I should've known he was serious. Wouldn't stop asking about the approaching date and kept asking what to wear. Yea, he wore the complete opposite. Complete with rubber ducky shorts and Hawaiian shirt. Most annoying 22yr old at the time but I love the guy. He's one legit crazy mofo. Made our day watching him get it!
We used the steep dune to the right of Olds, you know, the one with the sharp wall edge. It was the steepest I could suggest because, again even that far into the idea, I still didn't expect it to work. My crew had a hell of a laugh watching me trying to get him to the top with board and boots double riding my stock yfz450. They didn't think I could get him to the top, I will admit it took skill not to tip backwards and keep the momentum going by zig zagging the quad, full lean forward, he was behind me riding me like a damn horse! It was a hoot and everyone was shocked that after a 5min ascend, we made it to the very top! It was the funniest double ride I've ever done. 🤣
I got video but not sure how to add it in. Check him out!
Oh, and yes he slid all the way to the bottom. Shocked all of us! It was the slowest slide but a slide none the less. Not sure it was the speed he anticipated but it had every effect of water or snow, just slow motion lol
