Just spent 3 days at St. Anthony dunes, with perfect weather and sand as smooth as a high school cheerleader's bottom. First trip to the dunes this year, and my son Tyler on his Blaster with some new mods pulled Choke Cherry hill every time he tried it. Went all the way up Devil's Dune too. Needless to say he was pumped. The Blaster has nothing real special for mods, and Ty is just over 80 pounds so weight was to his favor.

1998 Blaster
FMF pipe
Aftermarket cheap reeds
Wiseco piston stock bore
Ported & head mod by Eric Gorr (pump gas midrange porting)
Unifilter w/ holes in airlid
Front sprocket up 1 tooth
Sand shark paddles

I might get all excited and keep tricking this thing up, it really is working. You know you're getting old when it's almost as fun to watch the boys rip it up, and just turn the wrenches and drink the beer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Right on man. Glad to hear that your having fun watching your kid and tweaking his quad. My daughter just turned 3, so I can hardly wait to get her on a new crf 50 this spring.

 

The little quad that could. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I saw a Blaster make it up the big coal hill at Tower City in PA. I've seen bigger bikes roll all the way back down. A lot of it depends on the rider. Props to your kid!

 

You wont imagine how much faster he would get up there with some good set of paddles [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I thought the Sand Sharks were pretty good tires. Oh, you should have seen him go up that hill on my ported 87 Quadracer, he went all the way up in 4th gear, really flyin'. 80 pound test pilot, makes your bike look good. Maybe I'll hire him out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

hey that soundes cool that it pulled that hill. i'm 15 and just got done building my blaster. taking it to little sahara dunes in utah in hopes of pulling sand mountain.

 

Shady, I can't tell you how cool that is. I don't know if Tyler remembers me from that ride in St.A's (Its easier for me to remember a little dude ripping on a Blaster/Raptor than him to remember some goof on a 400ex), but tell him I am way jealous of him and he is a great rider! I am glad it worked out for you (weather). I can't wait for the chace to ride till we puke! Maybe July 4th ish at St. A's! Its funny , I only want kids (right now, this will change, I promise Baby!) is to build them bad *** quads, wrench on them, and enjoy watching it!

 

RIGHT ON MAN !!!!!!

I went to saint anthony's last year with my blaster when I had the original engine in it. here's the mods I had.

I think thats it.

I made it up every hill including choke cherry and thunder mountain.

cant wait till next time to see what the 360 is going to do.

 

its nice to hear that some parents actually enjoy watching their kids ride, my dad thinks that its a waste of time and money and cant reaize how much i love it, hes stuck on me playing hackey cuz iv been doin that since i was a wee lad and am pretty good at it, but i dont really understand how he hated hockey at first then loved it im hoping he will someday realize how much i love doing this and actually help me, its nice to hear about parents actually caring about there childrens riding,,,, nice job ty, i hope to go to some dunes someday but im out here in VA and that wont happen very soon.... lol
