Default [b]!!!Banshee Hill!!![/b]

My 13yr old is a very experianced rider and has made the dicision to try his might on Banshee Hill which is located in Winchester on the Oregon dunes.

Would any of you fellow duners happen to have pictures of Banshee Hill so that he might be able to get a good look at it?

Help my son graduate to full duner status.

i think it was a lot harder in years gone by but it seems they have tamed it a little. just watch the conditions, went up it at dunefest last year at night and the sand got wet, i was the only one that made it out of our 6 riders, and we had flown up it all day long first time i had seen that in over a 100 runs. well good luck to junior

sandman is right it does change a lot from day to day and I too have heard that it is easier than in years past.

First guy up it after it has settled has the easiest time. Gets a little harder almost everytime after that due to loosening the sand up and the ruts get deep.

back in the day it used to take 7mil or more to get up it.... now it takes a good run at it on bone stock thumper or a bone stock thumper with paddles could do it as well. That hill is pretty much a joke now.

Please don't take this as being rude but, I really wasn't asking for a description of the hill.

We're talking about a 13yr old on a Z400 going up it for his first time.

My main question was wheather or not anyone had a good pic of the hill from the bottom, middle, or top of the hill.

Thanks for all the input anyways.
