Hey people...I just spent a day in Flagstaff Az. at the Cinders. Good riding, trails and hills. Everyone should try it.

Just when I thought I had good HP, I went to the Cinders. In Glamis I can run Oldsmobile in 4th gear and the wall in 3rd. I never found a dune I coulden't make it up. Now I have!

If you want a serious challange, go to the Cinders. There are endless trails to ride and some hills most won't make it to the top. I'm serious, there are some major seriously steep climbs. The first one I tried was as steep as the Wall and 10-15 times higher. Another hill was like Olds, I had my GPS on my handle bar, it showed 840ft elevation differance from the bottom to the top. There are even bigger and steeper one's too.

Those of you with bolt on's wont make it up the big hills. Those of you with internal mods I would like to be there, it will be a challange and I would like to watch.

A friend of mine has a new Z400, bone stock, I will just say he was not a happy camper. I saw some sand rails that were 300-400hp turbo that were having a hard time.

AZsand..Have you been up there yet? How did you do? Anyone else been there, I would like to hear how you did.

Why haven't we seen this place? Like on the cover of every magazine!!
You guys out west have it made for dunes man, I'm jealous!

 

YES sir i took 100$ hill on the frist try with vipers not even paddles i did use nitrous to boost me though it was a bet$$$$$$$ yes i won but you are right I tell people but they will never understand until they see them the stuff is so light its like riding on cotton ***** you hit it its gone your always paddling for traction ugly it is i tell you ugly! the reson it is not more popular is the dust you look like a coal miner after the frist few runs and you stay dirty the whole time.and it is arm pump country.how was the weater up there.And fire restrictions??

PS:the real challenge is going down some of those hill keeping thr rear tires to the the top of the hill.ugly i say!!

 

The weather was ok 80-90 F and a little breezy. As for fire restrictions " No fire's and only smoke in a vehicle with the windows up". There were alot more people there than I expected, but not Glamis holiday crowded. It's definatly arm pumping serious riding. At no time can you afford to be **** or you will dump it, especially going down the hills. Like you said, it's like riding on cotton *****. As for the dust, I was in the back of the pack and it wasn't real bad, I did end up with a dark beard. It can realy mess up your cylinder if you don't use extra filtering.

It's still a blast and I think everyone who thinks their ride is fast should give it a try. It's an eye opener.
