Ocotillo Wells Short Run

Ecchamberlin and I had the day off so we took our rigs to Ocotillo Wells for some high-speed stuff. There are too many trails out there that suddenly turn into a quad/bike whoop section! I still don't have my bumpstops mounted so I took it kinda slower that I could've. A big sandstorm was blowing pretty hard around noon which made it pretty cool to be going along sea *something* wash (something like that) when the wind was almost covering the tracks!

Enough of me babbling, though. On with the pictures!

Haha!

Here's a couple more, plus a video of us going up Blow Sand. The song is off the new "Breaking Benjamin" CD and ignore my gf's singing in the background

Yep. Kept it level the whole way down pretty much

The "Slot" is kinda filled in so it's pretty easy now. None of us hung a tire on it.

We did have a good time. Nobody out there at all. Only a few ATVers on Blow Sand. I am sure tomorrow it will be like the Mall but as for today,

Actually it is kinda embarassing because it makes me look......stubby... And I'm really not. It is the shy camera thing. You Know?
