We haven't made it out yet this year. Hopefully this weekend. How is choke this year? It would be nice to come meet you sometime, we have a group of about 8 to 10 people that come up from pocatello as often as we can. I'm sure we'll meet up sometime this year.

was your 480 done by a machine shop or did you go with the athena kit? I just put the HRC kit in mine friday and i'm loving it so far. If you did happen to put in the athena kit, what is the compression ratio and how do you like it? how does it compare to the stock 450?

I'd like to come check out your quad, sounds like you know what you're doing and maybe I could get some good advise and maybe a couple good ideas for mine as well. I'm off to bed for the night. We'll chat more later.

I'm making a trip out there in Sept. with a group of about 10. It will be my first time out and these guys 10th anniversary. They say there is nothing like it. All i have to compare it too are the hills of sand in Oklahoma and pictures. I can't wait.

May is an awesome time to go to the dunes, memorial weekend gets a little too crouded for me though. We will be out there on April 22nd. for sure, and we are thinking of coming out the 15th. if the weather is good. We got some snow here today, so we'll have to wait for a weather report from crapo to see if St. Anthony got any of it and how this weekend is gonna be.

We haven't decided if we are coming yet or not this weekend. If we do, we always unload at Egan lake, I'll be watching for your little yellow monster next time we're out there. We have rode lake channel out by American Falls a few times this spring, but its about time to head to St. Anthony for some good fun.

We weren't able to make it out this weekend. Funds were a lille short after we bought a new digital video camera for shooting all of our quad footage at the dunes and on the track. We will be out there soon. Can't wait to get some good videos of some wicked jumps and climbing choke and thunder.

Raining today looks like the dunes will be sweet. Going riding with the guys from Dune Excursions Saturday morning maybe we will see some of you guys out there. Be a group of wheelers and bikes.

We went there last summer with 4 other families we ride with, a total of 20 atv's and 2 sandrails. I wrecked my dirt bike, bailed off a razorback with not so good results. We went to chokecherry and had a blast, we usually stay at Sandhills Resort, it's a little expensive but worth it. We are going back this year the weekend after the 4th, the sand was great. This year my wife says she wants to go up chokecherry, I have no doubt she will make it cause I took hers up last year no problem. Our kids both had a blast on the dunes and back at camp, can't wait to go this year.
