They usually go easy on breakage if it's not too bad.<br /><br />I dump my dirt bike all the time in the sand. Try skiing or ice skating without falling. It's perfectly normal. Dangerous is what you make of it---skiing straight down hill into a stand of trees is dangerous.<br /><br />Part of the thrill is pushing the limit a bit. Being smart is leaving room for error. The rest of the thrill is getting outdoors and roaming about nature. I love dunes, beautiful, and expansive!<br /><br />Come down again and let's ride.<br /><br />"Brute Force", eh? I'll bet you're a software engineer or an EE. I'm into C#, .NET, and previously, 8051 embedded systems and machine language.SLORiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057997508962702091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306522.post-27472646773402727782009-04-22T21:05:00.000-07:002009-04-22T21:05:00.000-07:00Hah, ya, well like I said I'm kind of a wuss. It ...Hah, ya, well like I said I'm kind of a wuss. It was definitely fun. Some of us had to pay penalties for 'rolling' the ATVs, but overall it was OK.<br /><br />And, yes, getting complacent was a bad idea. All of us except for maybe one or two guys were total beginners, and so it wasn't unexpected that most of us got jacked in one way or another.<br /><br />And, no, they should definitely not close anything down due to the activity being dangerous. Perhaps dangerous was too strong a word.Brute Forcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214183612902971524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306522.post-63594141157978100842009-04-22T20:34:00.000-07:002009-04-22T20:34:00.000-07:00If I was trying to be mean, I'd say you're a bit o...If I was trying to be mean, I'd say you're a bit of an idiot---LOL! Hey, taking some spills is part of the sport being exciting and fun! But, really, man-- you recognized there are places calling for caution and then got complacent anyway. Boys will be boys... <br /><br />When you're a beginner, you are supposed to take it easy for a while. We have enough fruit-cake whack-jobs down here calling to close the entire beach saying it's too dangerous. It's not; but you have to ride within your limits.<br /><br />Hope the Bachelor Party was less "dangerous"... and perhaps you didn't have to pay for the broken plastic as well.<br /><br />Cheers to the newly wed prisoner!SLORiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057997508962702091noreply@blogger.com
