Default Glamis is WEAK!!!!!!!!!

Man there are some hills here that i wouldnt even consider going up, they wind around trees at about an 80 degree angle, all i do is go down it, that thing is about 6 stories high, My friend also has a hill at his house and when you go down it, you just drop until you hit the face at the bottom, it is so steep, i didnt go down it the first time i went riding with them, it is basically a cliff about 2.5 stories high, so far NOONE has climbed it.

Glamis(imperial sand dunes), consists of over 118,000 acres at a clip of 40 miles. How much do you have. Only a small % of people actully shoot the hill all day long. Gets kinds boring imo.

Yes Glamis is huge. A good place also to ride. The Hill is in Utah and it's called the Face of Sand Mtn. The benchmark or hills for racing. Their is a resaon the out of staters don't come on Easter. It's called Crankenstein......Steep hill, very long, lack of air = disaster for the out of staters

The Cranker is sold to some Arabs oversea's. K&T is there now. The Arabs buy alot of stuff from them. A new monster is being made. I don't know what it is yet.. I would say Glamis is not weak by any means. Oldsmobile Hill is, but Glamis is fun.

Wshrdskin:

You need to come up to Sand Mt., NV for Memorial Day or Labor Day.

Small riding area
No real place to open it up on the flats
Great drag racing! The face of the mountain is great racing and you can easily race 6+ at a time. Multiple starting lines / dunes so if one area is whooped up move to the right or the left. Much longer hill than Dumont to really show who has the most HP. Dumont and Glamis are much more about rider than Sand Mt. If I rode Glamis only I would probably only have a pipe on my quad. The hill at Sand Mt. has cost me a lot of $. But, I love the speed. You just don't need it at Glamis or Pismo.

You can't beat Glamis this time of year for riding. Shorts and T-shirt weather when the rest of the country has ice in their back yard. Glamis is NOT the place to see the fastest quad. You simply can't say that! Glamis can hold races but, the race will be the fastest set-up for that hill (rider and quad.) The only way to see the fastest quad is flat drags or a long steep hill with few whoops.

Yes, as the title of the tread (meant) the hill at Glamis is weak in comparison to other hills but, Glamis the riding area isn't weak at all. Kinda like hooters. . . they all look different, some are big and some are small but, I pretty much like them all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] (But, my favorites are the Big Ones!)

I would love to. Since Larry has a DS and DS days is held there. I'm sure I'll be checking out Nevada sooner or later. It's probably a 10 hour drive for me though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] This can't just be a weekend trip.
