Hunt4BigGame Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Heading to the St Anthony dunes this weekend with my family and a few friends. Gotta take my freshly piped 04 shee out to dust a few thumpers. Four strokes just can't handle the big steep dunes at St A too well. I like the Oregon dunes, thats a good place for a family vacation....mild temps and just a kick to ride the beaches and the trails. But for some serious hill climbs I don't think there is much out there thats better or at least closer for me. St A is a pretty big area several miles long and close to 2 miles wide in a few areas. My buddy and I have to put a couple guys and their YFZ 450's in there place...They have never rode a shee and they think their piped 450's are the fast things around! Quote
Oilsmoke Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 If they cam & piston them 450's becareful they can beat you with a little 130 kid on them . Quote
roosthrower Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Defintely race them up the hills. Thumpers do much better in the flats than they do hill shooting. I've seen some piped raptors not make it up choke while piped banshees pull the hill no problem. High rpm torque is what makes two strokes climb shit better than them thumpers. Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 St anthony kicks. Anyone going to be there saturday? Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) St anthony kicks. Anyone going to be there saturday? Me and Oilsmoke will be there friday afternoon. I just noticed your location. Lucky bastard. One thing though...how much does it snow there in the winter??? I've wondered if anyone ever takes a sled out in to the dunes in the winter. I know it can get brutally cold at night in october. Thats about the latest I'll go is the first week of october. EDIT Here's my banshee for reference: Edited August 12, 2004 by Cotton eyed Joe Quote
Hunt4BigGame Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Posted August 12, 2004 A small group of us are coming over from Nampa Saturday morning. We will probably grab a bite at Sonic around noon or so, then head out to the dunes. Probably ride again Sunday am before heading back. Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 HEHEHE I love being 15 mins. away from those babies. I'm soo excited to go tommorrow, but theres no way you could ride a sled out there, the cornices are like 50 feet so unless you have balls don't try it. And lemme know when you head out there again cause I'm so damn sick of school all I do is sit there and think about riding. LATER Quote
snogimp Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 There actually hasnt been very much snow fall there for 5 or 6 years. the problem with riding the duned in the winter is they have a close date due to wintering animals. doesnt stop many however. Ive had my quad out there pulling my buddy on a snowboard before. Ive also had more then one ticket Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 the cops out there are all pussies and couldn't catch you if they wanted to! How the hell did you get a ticket? Quote
