Hello all, I am glad to have been directed to a new site with new people to hear from. I love my DS. I am 6'3" at 225 and it just fits me so much better than my bro's Raptor. I had a good wreck a while ago and have gotten a little bit skidish on jumping but I live to drag and that is one thing the DS does well. I encourage anybody to write me whenever the want. Good Riding to all and to all a good sand dune!!!

 

hey demonds how is ur rwr pipe i am lokking for a pipe for mine and im leaning toward the ctracing pipe. Is it loud, do u gain lots of power(low,mid,top?)and how much did it cost. also do they have a wed site?

have u ridden any other ds with other pipes, if so what ones and what did u think?

 

hi 01ds i have a rwr pipe and its great but gets some dents from the swingarm and brake caliper if you jump big but its a pretty good pipe, not sure if i'd buy another though, the mags need to do a test.

 

Welcome DemonDS,How do like your Sand skate II paddles?

 

Welcome! DS owners are good people!!!!

 

Thanks all!!! well as for how well I like my RWR pipe...I love it. I had problems with it's center mounting bolt breaking but I have a fix and just havent done it yet. It is loud but deeper sounding I think than the rest. That is what I like because it I think it sounds like Horsepower. I havent dented mine yet but I was told it had been redesighned so that it doesnt hit. Not for sure though. It gave me a very noticeable difference all through the power band. I think a little more in the mid range because it seems like I hit third in a race and that when it really takes off and pulls ahead and that is in the mid RPM range when I shift. As for the Sand Skate II's Jeff...I really like them as well. They seem to me to be the paddle for a DS. they still let you turn easily but have enough paddle to provide as good of forward thrust as a typical streight paddle. In fact i tried some streights I borrowed from a freind and raced my bro and barely beet him...then I put on mine and beet him by the typical three quad lengths. Plus I have been told that they are alot tuffer than most of the others and with your a$$ ripper of a quad that might be important. So how is the Nitro coming anyway?

 

DemonDS,I will have to try the STU sandskatesII,hopefully find somebody out at the dunes I could swap for a while.The NOS is ready to go!Just need the time to make out to the dunes.Planning to go to Sand Mtn.Oct.20th,but hoping to get a good test run before that.

I have the sand skate II's jeff but the rim is a different size. They are great tires. I love them, they are great. I have alot of rides on them and there are even some little nubs on them and still look new. I had them on 1 week at glamis, 2 weeks at oregon dunes, 2 trips to sand mountain, and 1 trip to pismo. They hold up very well. Sean

 

If you call Sand Tires Unlimited, they will recommend a competition grooved sand Skate I instead of a Sand Skate II for the DS. I just bought a pair and they're waiting for me to pick up in Fullerton, CA. My next dune trip is over Thanksgiving, so I'm eagerly awaiting that so I can test out what are supposed to be the best Paddles a person can get a hold of.

 

BlackHawk, Let us know what you think of your new paddles
I will be @ Sand Mountain NV again for Thanksgiving,what dunes are you headed for?
