You know the best part about the summer riding season has got to be going to the dunes. There is absolutely no other riding area that comes close to the thrill of riding in the sand. It’s a great place to spend the weekend riding with your buddies. I love the feeling of being able to ride as freely as I want and to experience a terrain that is like no other. Now like with anything when you go to the dunes there are a few changes that needed to be made to your quad in order to make it safe and easier to ride in the dunes.
The most important thing to have on hand is a couple of spare air filters. Sand is an engines worst nightmare and there is nothing that will ruin a weekend more than a blown engine. I highly recommend using an outerwear air filter cover and also have at least one other filter oiled and ready on hand. I will change my filter at least every day and if I have to I will clean one or both of the filters so that I will start each day with a fresh one. I will also install a spark arrestor in my exhaust to prevent any accidental fires. Some dune parks require one and others do not but I would use one in any case to be on the safe side. You will also need a dune flag at some parks so that other riders will be able to see you coming over blind dunes. This is also a safety item that some parks require and others do not but use one anyways because you don’t want to have a high speed collision with any vehicle. I like to run paddle tires on the rear of my quad for better traction and overall performance in the sand. Knobby tires will still do the trick but believe me paddle tires are well worth the investment.
Once you are all setup and ready to ride go out there and have some fun! Be sure to go slowly over the crest of the dunes on your first run to check the pitch of each dune. The sand changes a lot in when the wind is blowing and you never know if the peaks are backwards, forwards or flat. I have seen some bad accident when people neglect to check the peaks of the dunes. All in all go out there have fun and be safe!

In my opinion one of the first major modifications you should do to make your quad race ready is suspension. You can have the most built motor in the world but if you cannot get the power to the ground it is pretty much useless. A good place to start for the more moderate racer is a +2” standard travel a-arm kit, with performance shocks or rebuilt stock shocks; as well as a performance or rebuilt rear shock. This is relatively in expensive and a good place to start if you are new to racing. When the time is right you will want to upgrade to a long travel a-arm setup as well as a long travel swing arm.
When going to a long travel setup, there are many popular manufactures to choose from. Walsh race craft, Leagers, Houser, Lonestar, ASR Fx are among the elite of manufactures. Each of these manufactures has different options to choose from and require different shock setups. Some of the top shock manufactures are Custom Axis, PEP, Elka and Fox. These manufactures work hand in hand to create shocks that are setup to work with each suspension manufacture. All you have to do is provide your machine make and model, rider weight, and riding style and they can build a shock specifically for you.

Crashing is an unpreventable event in any type of racing event. When you are racing you have to face the fact that you will crash at least once a year. This includes any type of crash, have it be a spin out, falling off the track, high siding, or the worst being involved in a first turn crash. What I have been seeing is that inexperienced races do not know how to properly crash. This may sound funny but it’s very, very true.
A couple of weekends ago a racer crashed very lightly in the sweeper at the Onsted dirt track. He basically got loose hit a hole high sided and ended up under the quad. I was flagging this turn and when I got to him he looked to be in pain and helpless so I waved the medic flag. When the medics checked him over they found that he had a possible broken collar bone. Now I thought how is this possible when the crash didn’t look that bad? What I concluded is that he had locked his elbow when he put his hand out to try and save himself. This was a huge mistake as it caused all the momentum and stress of the crash to be absorbed by his shoulder, which in turn broke his collar bone.
I have crashed many, many times and I know from experience the best thing to do is to simply go limp. I also would know when I was going to crash and could predict how I was going to crash. This enabled me to set myself up to come out of the crash in the best possible condition. If you relax and go with the crash instead of trying to save the unsaveable then you will stand a better chance of coming out un scaved.
Now I am not saying to purposely go out and try to crash to “practice” crashing!! Rather I would just like you to be more aware of your situation when you do crash. When you become one with your machine and know how it will react to your every little action you will stand a better chance of being prepared when you have pushed the line too far and your machine is getting a little pay back! Really start to feel what your machine does when you make an action, this will not only prepare you for a crash but it will also make you a better rider! Stay safe and I will see you at the track!
