I want to do a 180 at the top of a dune and throw mass roost over the top like all the big boys do in the videos. But when I try I dig in and almost roll the quad - or over rotate.
How do y'all do it?
-
no guts no glory. :lol:
-
Lean forward and to the inside corner. Like way forward. Over the bars.
Throttle timing is important too. about a quater of the way through hit it!
I've only done it in dirt, on hills and stuff. I would say it would be the same as sand if not harder. So it should be the same
-
Do you have straight paddles or something like sandstars?
-
no guts no glory. :lol:
Guts aint the problem. I just can't get the 180 down while throwing roost.
As for paddles: I use straight paddles.
-
I found w/ my extremes I had. I couldn't get the backend around to do that. I could, but it required a LOT of body english to do so.
With my Sand Stars. It's honestly effortless.

+1 with v shaped paddles, throttle will help you steer. The straight blades will require much more effort.

Seems to be what I'm encountering. I'm able to kick the rear out but I really have to go for it - which usually means over rotating and the rear of the quad getting ahead of me.
Maybe it's time for a set of Sand Stars. Thanks for the help.
-
yeah with the v's you can throttle while you steer. WIth straights, you leay off, start turning, then give it gas to straighten out.
-
This is my body language :lol: I didn't know I was getting photoed and this was more of going up a slight incline at an angle rather than straight on but maybe gives you an idea...

But she did have a little towards the end as she was having so much fun roosting and using the same spot to do it.
