Thanks :thumbs:
I gotta say those 22' 7 paddle haulers were perfect for walden. Hillclimbs (Tree shoots) were awesome, and after I destroyed my buddys worked predator, nobody wanted to race me :lol:
It was so nice though, probably only 30 quads total out there, Colorado Sand Cars showed up and put on a awesome show with their rails and truggys. The River shown in the picture is where the tree shoots are, and every nite it would eat away at the climbs making them super steap. I ran every climb that didn't have a 3 ft or better ledge to jump just to start the climb.
The last one I did was a bit too extreme , and I ended up tumbling the quad down the hill (My buddy Phil was like "Dude, why the f@ck did you even try that hill?" :rofl:). All it did was break the bead off one of my haulers, but it ended my climbing/racing on the dunes for the weekend. It took 1 1/2 hours to get the quad back to camp :mad:, but it was perfect timing since we decided to hit the trails in the area in the morning anyway.
I had a blast, can't wait to get back to Walden :thumbs:
-
Walden looks awesome.
The backdrop of the mountains are beautiful.

I'm a little jelous, and pissed. I drove up the Pouder River from Ft. Coliins to Walden and never saw any sand. Where the hell is it because it looks like it is worth the trip! :nana:

Next time you go to Walden, take a right turn and go north about 10 miles and turn right, you'll see the sand from the highway. Anyone going up in the next two weeks? I'll be up there this weekend and next weekend.

I might be game for weekend after next Troy. Is AJ/Sandeater gonna be there too?

Yeah I just talked to AJ and Kiel yesterday, they will both be there and also the Mooseknuckle crew from the sounds of it. We are gonna get Aj's bike dialed in this week and see how they do. I need to see how my bike will run with these Giesick and Kenz bikes, my dyno curve used to be the one to match last year, now everyone I know has gone bigger than me so I want to run against a couple similar bikes with better top ends and see just how much difference there is before I tear mine down and start sending parts to racers edge, lol. If I don't get whooped up on too bad, I may leave mine the way it is for a little while and start modding out mama's rzr. That's a big if, when I get whooped up on I'll probably end up sending my head off right away, losing sucks ass :thumbs:

I know Kiel had some work dome at Geisick, I didn't think AJ had much done since I saw him in march ???

Looks like a great place to go. What's closest town to this area to figure out how far it is? We're down in Parker and only dunes I have ran are back in New Mexico. Who's going and when?
-
Winterpark is about 1hr south of Walden

I ski'd Winter Park 8 years ago
Good Times :thumbs:

I'd like to hook up a July trip, I just don't think I can pull it off this month. I still need to hit Epic for a tune, then it would be fun to test it out at Walden. :thumbs:

Nice pics Aaron....theres a 20 foot cliff at deadmans now and the river is still flowing :help: Fun to watch crazies try to climb it and trash their $15k+ bikes down it and then try again
I'm a little jelous, and pissed. I drove up the Pouder River from Ft. Coliins to Walden and never saw any sand. Where the hell is it because it looks like it is worth the trip! :nana:
I got lost the first time myself but found it after an hour of searching...you have to drive north from Walden 10 miles through Cowdrey then its 1/4 mile north of there and theres a sign.
Let me know if you want to go and if you can't find it. Poudre Canyon SUCKS to take, never go that way. Its faster and maybe 10 miles longer to go 287 to Laramie, I-80, then Wy 230 (Snowy Range Rd) aka Co 125 towards walden then there is a really nice shortcut to go in the back way.
What part of Fo Co do you live in? I live next to Budweiser Brewery off I-25 and Vine/Mulberry area.
Walden is all I ride but you should go to KP with us in Rock Springs, Wy and see some REAL sand. Walden sucks and gets old really quick but its a cool place to ride thats close but only for a day MAYBE two at the most.

Heres some more pics......
The snow melts and we get run-off with this creek that washes everything out and makes for some fun hill climbs every year.

Great pix :thumbs:
That pic of your buddies YFZ (Mooseknuckle???) shows how steep that shit can be. :grin_nod:
-
Haha no kidding!! It can get pretty hairy especially when theres a 2 ft lip at the top :jaw:
That guys name is Dan....SuperDan on forums. Mooseknuckle is 3 different guys under one name and they have three raptors...yellow SE on nos, a white SE2 812, and a 07 SE....then a white with green frame YFZ on NOS and who knows what else :lol:
-
DAAAAAAAMN!
That's HUGE!
~Brian
-
Thats what she said :grin_nod:
Which one are you talking about??
-
You sitting on the hill.
Damn, what's the elevation of that hill?
~Brian
-
Its about 700 ft tall. :clap: Elevation is around 4,900 at camp and 5,600 at the top of the mountain.
That is Sand Mountain, Utah at Little Sahara though, not Walden. You HAVE to go to LS someday if you haven't already. Its a blast!
Walden riding altitude is around 8,500 ft.
