Sugar, Mr Poon? No, never, never.
The angle of the sun is important, got to be careful with it to your back. Same thing got me two years ago at the invasion if some of you remember.

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
The first time I rode on anything resembling a dune was at Little Sahara. I was on one of my Bansheee's and raced down one dune and up another. It looked like it kept going atthe top, but it was the next dune on the other side. I went straight down off a 30' drop off ass over tea kettle. Broken wrist, 5 screws and a plate, and a screwed up neck. I wasn't even acting crazy, it created an optical illusion that the dune kept going but it was not the case.

things happen very fast in the dunes ,,, even the best can get hurt if you brain fade for 1 second,,,, thats why i never ride with mussic ,,,,
I've done very nearly the same thing on a snowmobile, except I was going about 90 miles an hour. Same thing, sun directly overhead, no shadows. Came off a 15 foot ledge I didn't ever see, and went nose first into the next hill, but I got lucky because there was another snowbank for me and the sled to land in, neither of us got hurt. Hope your bud has a speedy recovery.
We witnessed him take the plunge and could not get there fast enough. When he landed his chest slammed the bars (wearing chest protector) shattered his left wrist and now has permenant screws and a plate and fractured his foot. After he slammed the bars he went over the bars and was dragged about 10 feet or so. That razor in my estimate was about the height of a two story house.Crazy sheeite. I think both riders are pretty fortunate that their injuries weren't more severe given the circumstances. Thanks to all for sharing. That's some wicked video for sure.I went straight down off a 30' drop off ass over tea kettle. Broken wrist, 5 screws and a plate, and a screwed up neck.
Current trikes owned:
1985 Yamaha Tri-Z 250...fully restored
1985 Honda 250 SX...nice survivor original condition
That there is pretty intenseGlad to here he didn't break his neck.
On another note I find it amazing that he dropped the height of a 2 story house in less than a second....He looked like he was only going 35-40 mph too.![]()
THE DUNE HE BAILED OFF OF WAS AT LEAST 30' watch the vid again,, we are parked on the top of a dune that is at least100' high when he goes by us,,,,, i should have stepped it off ,,, 30 would be the minimum it was unreal,,,,
I just about did the same thing a few times this past trip, I had a few close calls. The fall time in the video seems way long time to me...I told Doug when I first seen it that it seemed like it took forever for him to hit the ground. Very lucky wasn't hurt any worse.
OMG, that brings back a Very bad memory for me!!! That was friggin ugly. Was that Hans???
