Re: 30 years of Dakar
that's amazing footage ......nice find Rob.
The 'local' place we go for a MX fix is actually a working sand-mine, so there are shitloads of tracks through sand there (Larbert Rd, near Braidwood) - you can see all the tracks easily with Google earth. I hate the sand, you just have to sit on top of the back wheel, keep the throttle pinned, aim for the gaps between the trees and hope for the best !!!

Re: 30 years of Dakar
One of those things that would be a once in a lifetime thing you'd want to try if you had the skill for it.
Unfortunately i seriously doubt i have the skill.
