Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Random Test Hill Runs, 5.24.08

[JakeEwing5]

The test hill's nothing compared to what it used to be.

Back in the early 90s, my Uncle went up there with his KX500. He topped it out, ended up jumping the hill, and landing flat. His front forks bottomed out and stuck! Hahahahaha

[sc10crashtestdummy]

how far is this from white cloud, mi? my cabin is there and when we go up we wanna go here.

[rickddd1]

@sc10crashtestdummy 9679 State Park Road, Mears, Michigan 49436 (Silver Lake State Park) is about 40 miles from White Cloud. Weekends are very crowded if you can go during the week it is a lot better.

They've ruined the surface of those beautiful sand dunes. What a mindless waste of fuel.

[dynocompe1990]

yep, and your a waste of air. There is no reason not to have fun in the dunes. Guess how those dunes got how they were before guys go and "tear em up" ? the wind, and if we stopped your precious beautiful dunes will be just like we never touched em.

[bapyou]

My "a waste of air" what?

And, no, if you stopped riding on the dunes, they would not be the way they were; they have been irrevocably changed in a myriad of ways.

Let me ask you: Have you ever enjoyed an acitivty that did not involve such gross mechanical violence?

[dynocompe1990]

sorry, you're a waste of air. Didn't realize this was English class here...

I usually go mudding, ride quads, drive a gas guzzling Camaro with a 355, lucky to get 7 miles to the gallon. are any of those an activity that doesn't involve "mechanical violence?"

[bapyou]

No, this isn't English class. Correct.

However, if those anti-immigrant Americans who thinks that everyone in the U.S. should speak English, at least you should make the effort to write it properly and with care.

As far as "mechanical violence" goes, I was wondering if you ever do any outdoor activity that does not involve driving a machine of some kind. From your list, I see that the asnwer is no.

[dynocompe1990]

There is nothing that's gonna change that. Something about raw horsepower and mud flinging just seems fun to me. What do ya want me to do?

[bapyou]

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Those who require large amounts of physical stimulus in order to feel sated, and those who do not.

[skirv03]

Does the use of big words make you feel special? Can't wait for them to open next spring so I can share in some more "gross mechanical violence".

[bapyou]

Ummm ... no: The use of big words does not make me "feel special." Does the use of small words make you feel common and unspecial? Heaven forbid you should stick out in a crowd. Wouldn't that be a tragedy?

I looked back through my comments here. What big words did I use? Mechanical? Violence? Sated? Irrevocably? Are these big words?

If you think they are big, you must have voted for George Bush. :)

And knock yourself tearing over the dunes this spring. Violence begets violence.

@bapyou your opinion will never matter to me or people that enjoy dune riding. it has rules and regulations to protect the said habitat, and we follow them...

[mjcookjr]

u don't need a special vehicle.. just an ORV permit. you can make it out ther ein a 2wd truck.

[Rockettank]

Whats an ORV permit

[royaltu20]

Off road vehcal permit. no a car cant go on the sand dunes. well at least not a stock car

[famousboi10]

Wrong~!!!!!

[bedsex1]

an off road vehicle permit, its so you can go on the dunes and state parks.

[blowingsmoke]

@mjcookjr ya but good luck, I was out there with my buddy yfz450 quad and paddle tires crazy good time worth buying that just to go here if you live in state

[Venom746]

@mjcookjr do you get an ORV from the state in which your going to like michigan for this one or can you get it in our home state and use it outside of it?
