Jed:

That was a great little trip out we had. Wish we had more time so I could get your brother out too.

Got the daughter out with me on a long ride. Lost the group at Choke so, only shot up it a couple times. I think I was short shifting her too much. She still went up good but, not as quick as I expected. Probably needed to wind her out a bit more before shifting up. Oh well. Still a lot of fun. By the time we got back from that ride (wind was blowing good) we had sand all over us. Gotta love the trailer at night for the shower.

I'm off to bed. . . have to go to Alaska tomorrow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Dad and his Wife, Sister and Her Husband and the Wife and I. . . off to Kodiak to fish and see the ranch my Dad grew up on. This vacation stuff is tough work. . . going to be good to get back to work and relax for a bit. . .

 

Holy crap batman, that sounds rough. Come home from week long vacation to St Anns, then have to turn around and fly to Alaska. Man I dont know how you do it, that rough. Maybe next time just send me, I will take on that hard burden![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Yea no crap. I am at least waiting a month before I head to Oregon. Can't wait to get out there and do it all again. I hope you have fun Duneme.

In case know one has seen it you can go to Dune and Dunes Machines and click on the St. Anthony thread it shows where you can donate to Jeremy Crapo the one that died at St. Anthony while we were up there he left behind a wife and two young kids. If you can please help them out I don't know what I would do if I was in that situation. Alticity also has some video's that all the proceeds will go to his memorial fund. Dig deep guys show them what great guys I know you all are.

 

AMEN!! Just so you all know who he was, he was a local rider, that was featured in many of the videos filmed at St Anns. He was an extreme rider, both in sand and snow. Terrible trajedy. I never met him, but know of him. Thank you Cynick, for thinking of his family. I couldnt imagine if that happend to someone that I was close to aswell.

 

How did Jeremy die? What a tragedy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Local Man Dead in Sand Dune Accident
July 13, 2006

A local man is dead after a head on-crash at the St. Anthony sand dunes and another man is in the hospital.

The accident happened Wednesday night at about 8:30. The Fremont County Sheriff's Office says the two men were driving their motorcycles at a high rate of speed when they turned a corner and hit each other.

It happened on a trail north of the dunes in a remote area.

Officers say 28 year old Jeremy Crapo of St. Anthony was killed in the collision from massive internal injuries.

18 year old Michael Pacheco of St. Anthony was airlifted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where he is listed in critical condition.

Deputies say both riders were wearing helmets and had safety flags on their motorcycles.

If you prefer to mail it in, please make it payable to David Crapo (Jeremy's Dad) and send it to:

I know Jeremy's wife and kids would appreciate it. So would the rest of the Crapo family and all of Jeremy's friends. Myself included. Anything we can do for them will be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is another way you can donate to the family. Thanks to Alticity. I got this info off of thier site.
Go to Alticity.com and you will find it on there.


We have made a 14 minute long DVD that pays tribute to Jeremy Crapo. The DVD features spectacular snowmobiling, a few dune shots, and some great footage of Jeremy being himself.

We are selling the DVD to raise money to give to Jeremy's wife Lindsay and two kids, Taylor and Bridger. All proceeds will go to the family. Jeremy DVD

They are also available at the parts counter at Rexburg Motorsports.

Thank you,

Bump^^^

Definitely a bummer.

We heard the sirens for a while coming then finally saw a truck with the BLM rail on it come down the road and unload and high-tail it out to the dunes. A few minutes later the chopper went overhead. It was a few hours before the BLM rail got back and the family's were gathered at the Ranger area. I thought I heard crying from our trailer but didn't want to intrude. Heard the next day what had occured.

The next day someone said they saw the BLM Rail bring in the bike and it was a mess. I didn't see it. Don't need to.

 

That really sucks. I got the DVD in the mail and it was really good. It is a little bit of a tear jerker but then again I am a girl when it comes to this kind of thing. I always put myself in that situation.

If anyone can afford even the $10 for the DVD they should do it. They were a very young family and I am sure every little bit will help the family.

By the way DuneMe I PMed you.

 

Bought a couple of the DVD's. . . hope it helps the family a little.

Didn't get your PM???
