That's why I prefer Buttercup on the big holiday's. The dunes aren't nearly as chewed up and you don't have to go far to see the freak show. Also the rangers are a little more tollerable.
Ya, geko's suck. I.M.O. Alot of these manufactures have over enginered there tires by putting things like small cleats in between the angled paddles which really restricts the bikes ability to slide.
