Anyone out there in southern California in need of a riding partner? My Raptor should be here soon, and I'm dying to go to Glamis. Anyone interested in teaming up for a weekend, let me know. Email is cheboy@flashcom.net
Thanks.

 

It's still way to hot... i was just up near lancaster for the superbike race and it hit 107*F i would wait until nov for glamis. try gorman for now.

 

I am going to Glamis Oct 14-15, and I might also go this coming weekend (Sat-Sun). Not sure yet on this weekend though.

I have already ridden my Rpator and I like it alot, I cant wait to try it in the sand.

I will be at dumont on halloween weekend. If you plan to go to goreman let me know. I will head that away also

 

I should be at Glamis November 3-5th. I believe we well be camping in one of the washes... Let me know if you want to join us.

 

We will be in Glamis for halloween. I think we shall be there from 10/26-10/29 Camping on gecko. Let me know if you will be there.

 

How important will it be to have sandtires for dune riding? Any suggestions?

 

The group I ride with is going out to Glamis the 14-15th of Oct., your welcome to ride with us. I've had my Raptor for 2 weeks and can't wait to try it at the dunes

Calvin, paddle tires make a big difference, the dunes at Glamis are big, and the sand this time of year can be very soft. I got 20x10x10 8 paddle Haulers for my Raptor, the same paddle my girl friend uses on her Banshee.

 

Calvin,

I will be at Glamis Oct 13, 14 & 15. On October 14 in the morning there is going to be a Dune Clean-Up at Competition Hill.

To answer your question, paddles are not necessary to ride in the dunes but it is like adding a WHOLE bunch of horsepower to your bike because of all the traction that they provide in the loose ground. If you were to buy paddles I would recommend Skat Trak Edge or Sand Skate IIs. Haulers are nice too, but the "V" shaped paddles will allow for more turning ability in the dunes. The Skat Trak Edge have more BITE and the Sand Skate IIs look bitchin.

Do you have any other friends that ride at Glamis? Is this your first time going out there?

Hey gang!
Any other Raptor riders going to be at Glamis tomorrow? I just picked my Raptor up today and plan on being up there early in the morning. Look for me, blue Raptor, Black Maxima, short white guy hauling butt.
Woo-hoo!
