Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
i have a buddy that was at glamis several weeks ago. hes now relearning how to walk. came over a dune that had a 50ft drop, broke his back (L3 i think). they had to fuse his spine together. 2 kids, wifes a teacher and he owned his own custom auto body shop where im pretty sure he was the only employee. he told me they were sending him home in the next couple days. he doesnt want to leave the hospital because he can barely walk without assistance. shit happens fast out there.
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
sorry to hear about your bud - but I learned pretty early - this ain't a track where you know every corner - gotta ride desert/dunes like you're at night - don't override what you can't see!
gets worse with alcohol - many people die out there every year, which is why they started bringing in fences, rangers, and rules...older riders keep complaining about "the man trying to ruin our fun" but when people are stealing from each other out there and people are getting killed, IMHO - it's not so fun anymore
I plan on going mid week...should have the whole place to myself and friends!
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
hes been riding out there for years, i think he just made a wrong turn.
i did send him a link to the video to show him how its supposed to be done though.

Unfortunately that dude's being investigated by the cops now...
Wild VW video has people talking, police investigating | SanDiegoUnionTribune.co
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
yeah, completely stupid shit (driving like that on public streets) but A+ for putting your name, shops name, and sponsors names in the vid :D
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
The adult in me says bad...bad reputation...bad putting self and others in harm's way...bad driving something not conforming to street legal standards on the road...
But the kid in me loves that thing...can haul ass in the desert and drive it to the grocery store since it has a plate...that's why I love plated dirt bikes I would use it more than 4 times per year
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
Oh yeah, that things sick for sure. All I can think of is a life size rc truck.
Well see how much trouble he actually gets for it. Could have made a sick video out in the desert somewhere.
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
They are so rad for sure...and I am starting to learn that a way to get 'em street legal is an old enough bug that doesn't have to pass emissions...then frame, tires, suspension, motor, and WHOAAAAA
Still seems like a lot of money...plus Paul said it best when he described the desert like a sandpaper environment - it's super harsh and wears through everything. Most desert trips that I have been on with guys on car/truck chasis vehicles break something (belts on razr's...exhaust shield on f-150..,axles on trucks) and the cost to fix em can buy a dirt bike
Maybe someday for me...when my body's done with dirtbikes...or I meet that divorced cougar sugar mama :wub:
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
when i raced Florida hare scrambles it was like chain and sprockets twice a season (or more) ... can't even imagine the desert.

If he drives like that do ya think he cares about the cops? Lol. He'll just go to court and pay some fines.
Re: Dirt Shark - The Doonies
If u gonna make a video like that atleast say its in a different town then it actually was, i don't believe in handing out evidence so easily.
