Hinton / Brule Dunes

[insaneZ400shane]

what is the recommended rear tire for brule? stock balding fronts should be ok? as the sand looks oily/heavy. i have a z400 with drzE gasket and springs/hotcams/revbox/no lid/full yoshi/ as of now, no idea what HP would be? maybe mid 30's?

thanks,

I love brule, but can't wait to go to St.Anthony's Idaho! Here are some pics of brule. Taken in Summer of '07:

I also love brule for its technical hill climbs through the trees. St anthony is sweet but it doesnt have the trees like brule does.

We do a fair bit of trips to brule a year, you are welcome to join us.

I was just thinking of the good times at the dunes. If anyone is planning a trip out here in the spring please PM me. I am in Hinton and ride the dunes often. I've ridden with Lococoin there many times. At -30 here today it seems like it will be forever before we can go some short sleeve rides there!!

Yea I'd love to go to St. Anthony's!!! You, Anthony, Matt and I should go. I'll get 4 paddle tires and giver. I just got a tire machine so swapping tires and wheels is going to be fun!!! When you planning on going???

 

[insaneZ400shane]

so, anyone with tire recomendations? those pics of brule look awesome, does it get nice and warm in summer? looks cold in those pics, prob just cause its cloudy.

You can run any tire on the front, sand fronts are really over kill and not required at all. The rear tires can be a sand paddle like sandstars or Skat traks of some kind, but again not really required. The sand there is what you can consider dirty sand which I mean has clay mixed in, so it makes dust when it's dry and when wet it gives better traction, when dry only the hard climbs are a little more difficult, unlike sand somewhere like St.Anthonys which doesn't make any dust at all and when dry is very grainy which is why paddles in the rear and sand tires up front for less drag are a must. For example in Brule my wife was running wore out factory fronts and a set of Viper rears which are a square knob design tread, and she could climb anything out there.

Something for you sand riders to check out. This vid was made by a friend on mine who lives in Vegas and went out to Dumont dunes for New Years. Video can be watched in normal or HD. HD is worth the extra download time.

Yea I'd like to cut a second trail in, so we can have a one way in and a one way out. People have to realize that the trails should be done slowly and save the ripping for the open places in the dunes.

 

[insaneZ400shane]

that video is nuts! looks like a good time. thanks for the tire info.

 

[Landrew]

Is there only that one way in and out? I too had a close call 2 out of 3 times going there.

 

[steveo10]

every spring for the last 5 springs we talk about goin but all talk but no actions.

plan on being there may long this yr so weldor can show us around

 

[hintonatv]

I hear about lots of near misses out there. It would be great if more people use whip flags. Most crashes that have occured may have been avoided if one of the machines had a flag.

 

[weldor]

Steveo: get your ass down here and do some riding!!! Just got back from Valemount with Lococoin last night from two days of great riding!!! I wouldn't come down on my long, it is a ch!t show, I'd recommend coming down the following weekend. You will enjoy it way more.

HintonATV: I started riding with a number of guys from outlawatvclub.com and they had whips. I started riding with a whip at the dunes now. Do you have any in stock??? I might stop by and pick one up.

No I'm out at the moment. I'll have some in soon. I'm bringing in some good quality whips with a selection of flags. I hope to see lots more of them out there this year.
I have also installed a few headlight/tailight kits on mini quads. One on a Preditor 90 and a Raptor 80. We put hand and thumb warmers on them too. We just put a light kit on a pit bike I have for sale. The boys from Sustainable Res. will be watching for them more this coming season. I got warned twice last year for my kids mini.

 

[weldor]

I will do that!!! I've got to stop by as I owe Eric $10 for some tubing I got from him for my Jeep. I'll talk to you then.
