    My money is on @MADSTEEZE to be the first to have an airbag go off dune jumping.

    I will be riding a sandworm with a cold one in my hand. I controls the Spice.

    I'm always slow lol. I've never been big on the idea of taking a corner fast at the same time as someone else on a narrow trail or blind hill....I over-analyze and worry too much most likely. It's the recovering catholic in me :sorry: :sorry: :sorry: :sorry: :sorry:

    No Way!!!

    I'm gutsy, not stupid.

    I definitely won't be that guy.

    My suspension is the furthest thing from built to handle go fast, let alone dune jumping. These cheap shocks only "get by" because I mob rocky trails and not whoops.

    At Pismo you can go slow or fast, biggest thing to worry about it everyone else. They rent quads and little dune buggies, tons of dirt bikes are riding around, and plenty of vehicles as well. People don't regularly spot their landings, so they'll jam up a dune and jump right into you if you're not keeping your eyes open. Watch for the flags, keep your eyes open and you'll all be fine.
    The dunes drop off pretty quickly and it's hard to see the definition in the sand at some spots so keep an eye for that as well. I dropped off one on my dirtbike once which wasn't fun.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    A slow day it seems.

    A few more day light pics...

    How are you guys attaching your whips to your trucks? Was thinking some kind of a bedrail clamp with a whip/flag mount would be the best bet...
