Well almost bit it bad today at Little Sahara.

We were out today on our first sunny day and the place is getting packed in now that the weekends almost here. My wife and son were following close behind me and we were wizzing down the back south side trails that are carved out into bowl after bowl then the trail started to narrow and i am not quite sure if i just came up high on the left side but my left wheel grabbed the sand and roots and she started to roll right and fast so i just dove head first off to my right and did the perfect tuck and roll and stood up before my bike even had time to stop sideways on the trail. It happened so fast but felt like slow motion and it freaked me out how quik i reacted going into my dive and tuck that it was almost cool, lol.. I got up and ran over to my bike and righted it so quick because i was deathly afraid of some quad running down the trail and hitting us. Plus i was a little embarrassed. The thing about this place when its busy is the trails wind around so quick it seems like you could be hit head on so easily ? It's still a blast here though, we just got in from a great night ride and the camp ground is a rocking!

Glad you are ok!

I hate it when I roll, but always remember....NEVER be embarrassed

Things happen and you just have to use your head, like you did (and great job at that by the way

)

Glad you guys had a great time

First and foremost, are you fully ok?
Secondly, how's the bike?

I highly recommend taking the time to come here! We have one more day and night ride coming up then it's time to hit the bumpy road home. Not looking forward to the drive, not after a week of tearing up in the sand. If you got the time one day come here and you will not regret it. We have been riding straight for almost a week now and still are having a blast and finding new trails everyday.

I'm glad everything turned out OK and you had a good time. Hopefully, we'll get to check it out soon. Everyone we've talked to has said it's a great place to ride.

I would highly recommend it! But make sure you go when there is nothing going on like their Snake Hunt, Sandfest or a week that school is out, we caught the beginning of fall break at the tail end of our week there. I can tell you it can get quite dangerous on the trails and dunes with 20K running full speed right at you! Mostly it's the 9-15 year olds riding 450 quads that don't have a clue about safety. But when you're out there and pretty much alone it's a freaking blast. We rode hard for 7 days and never got bored of it.
