I can't wait to go back to oregon, last time I was there I had an xr250, I only made it about halfway up banshee hill... haha. I'm getting a brand new raptor this saturday!

 

Hmm...where at exatcally? I was down there not that long ago and didn't see it. If so I can't wait to climb it! I bet it's a blast! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Awesome stuff, I am going April 22 with the windy bay rippers cleanup crew. Should be a blast! Anyone have any pics of these dunes?

 

Half way up the old run... take a left after the tree line[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I was there over turkey day. We were going down the part on the left(Right side down hill). I told my brother I was going up that. He said I was nuts. I tried it five times and couldn't make on the 450r, with 22" haulers. I was pissed, i sold my Banshee. I think it might have had a chance.

 

I should be going to winchester in between march 26th and april 3rd... Is that left part of banshee hill forgiving if you don't make it?

 

I just buried it and hopped off. It was a little tight to spin it around, but no big deal.

 

I agree Banshee hill is now "Blaster hill" LOL! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Yes, the trail off to the left, is a lot harder, or at least last fall it was almost impossible, but I made it up with a YFZ extended swingarm. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I remember when you had to slow wayyy down and duck at the top of the tree line (where it opened up). Also slid my hands to the inside of the bars to keep em from gettin smashed should I have hit the trees you had to weave through! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

the last time I was there, I was looking at that new trail to the left. there is a cross root at the top. its a 10 or 12" hop over it. its kinda nasty. unless somebody has cut it away since then

 

You can actually veer off to the left of the root about 20-30 feet prior to reaching it. (or at least you could last fall)
