Was in Yuma Az in December and did some dune ridin with a buddy. This is the south end of the Glamis dunes, called Gordons Well. it's right down by the I-8 hiway. Great ridin, it was 24 that day, mid December. :d

How you liking the Tapex/Rzr?

it's awesome! Have about 1100 kliks on it so far and it works great. Rode in Idaho in July at 33 degrees in the dunes there and it never got hot. Done lots of desert trail riding as well and it works great. I have a duel boost control on it, so most of the time I just leave it at 13lbs. Have barely ran it at 20lbs, don't really need to run it up there. :d

The south side is called Buttercup. It's between the I-8 and Mexico. I've never rode there myself but it looks like fun. It's just a bit small. The hills are bigger on the north side by the canal forsure. It's all fun though. I should be back there in March.:d

Anytime from October to March or April. It's too hot to ride the rest of the year for most people. You want to stay away from the north end(Glamis) on long weekends, they can get over a 100 thousand people and it gets dangerous. Lots of machines to see and people to meet but crazy! The south end by the I-8, Gordons Well, and Buttercup are not as busy, but still good riding. We're gonna be down again in the middle of March and get a few days in.

I guess looking at these pics my question on your other post has been answered about the machines being yours or rentals.
