pismo has very heavy sand, most likely from the moisture coming off the water and anybody who rides pismo knows it is always very foggy.

To where glamis is in the middle of no where with heat up to 115 degrees. Makes for some very fine sand

 

do you ever run in glamis?

 

i think that pismo's sand is so heavy cuz of all the salt from the ocean. i'll check out those vids, thanx.

 

hey, i saw those videos. that dune is massive. although, it looks like you could get enough of a run to be in full 4th or 5th when u get to the dune. i've never ridden it before, but it looks like that would give u enough momentum to make it up.

 

.a better quality sand tire like a hauler or an edge will give you better performance but you may not notice it unless you challenge yourself on some bigger dunes.i could point you at some of our sand hills around here that you would not make it up with your 300 ex no matter what tire you have on it.

 

well hey, maybe someday we'll find out. i'm in the process of planning a trip to either oregon, glamis, or idaho.

 

I'll ride with ya at glamis. I live about 30 minutes away[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I will be at Glamis for halloween ,and yes paddles make a diffrence and the pismo dunes dont compare at all to the dumont and glamis dunes,hope you get to find out ..I dident think so at first either....

 

I have the 8-paddle haulers on my lt250r and they work great. I used to have those v shaped sand sharks and if you havent used both you probably wont care but i think the haulers are much better and cheaper to boot. Ive never weighed them but the haulers seem lighter too. I dont run front sand tires anymore either thay dont seem to make a significant difference to warrant buying another set, maybe if i had steel fronts and wanted to shave off weight i would, but stock wheels are fine. IF those are called " treeshots" then thats what i was talking about. They are a pain in the **** but i sure have a fun time trying to get back out, and watch other people struggle to get out, alot of people crash trying to or start to overheat do to the repeated failed attempts .

 

Yeah Ice, we've always called them treeshots. Pretty much any trail up a steep dune thats only a quad width wide or so and if the trail makes you sidehill 30 ft to the right to clear an obstacle (thick stand of trees, grass mound, cliff) then back to the left all with only 6in on either side of the quad it's even more fun. The ones with no run at the bottom where you have to get off and turn your quad around we call 'Do or Die treeshots'. Reason being all you have at the bottom is a launch pad the same size as your quad and the only way out is up the hill so you either make it or your screwed.
