Check out this article I found on the net. Claims that that biggest dune is "Big Daddy" in Africa and is about 1200ft high and a 65 degree face. Wonder if anyone ever tried to climb it with a bike, quad, or rail!

Thedre was a ole boy on here from africa whom told us about those dunes I'd sure like to go one day and hang aroung with those guys and see whats other culture is like along with their impresions of the ATV scene .

 

damn, for a dune like that u'd have to have a completely custom quad. i can only imagine what it would be like. i wonder how long it would take to get up it. ne guesses?

 

Im guessing crankenstine would do it in around 10-15 seconds lol Man that things fast

 

what's crankenstine? ne pics?

 

Crankenstine is badass.... so are the many other creations of Kim Munchmore of K&T performance here in town. (Ogden / Roy area of Utah). I wish I could have stayed at Sand Mountain (little sahara, Utah) longer on Labor Day weekend because Kim brought out all his bad stuff after I left to go back to work. Heard Crankenstine came out along with the other extreme machines and they ran impressive radar numbers once again, as always.

Wish we could all go play on that Big Daddy dune on our ATV's, way cool article.

here ya go crobiker. http://www.ktperformance.com/crankenstein2.jpg Also if ya go windows media player go to dunereview.com and click on videos and you ll find the crankenstine one. It went 86 mph up sand mountain a couple years ago I believe and now someone said they hit 90.

 

Sand mnt UT is 600ft high. That's gotta be one of the biggest. I have digital photos of crankenstien. Still and action. But I'm really impressed with a baby blue drag rail I saw. It seemed he had to hit the brakes halfway up the face to keep from launching into orbit.

 

green700 can you post any of these pics or videos
