Did that on a Kawasaki 700 V-Force---No problem up---But down was way more scary---The V-Force is automatic trans and no engine breaking---To get a little help you have to give it a little throttle to engage the gears, but that only lasts a short distance until you are going too fast for the lower gears and you are free wheeling with the brakes or just pinning it and throttling out. Up had my fronts off the ground from about 3/4 to top. Going around the rim of D's Bowl at full speed was a major pucker up for me. Great time---Good Video
Went up it pretty easy with a pro xp on a good paddle setup this past weekend. Sand condition makes a big difference as well. As far as "biggest", there are taller sand hills out west, but Choke Cherry is among the steepest.
Agreed that Choke is one of the most difficult. Here is a bit of dune trivia, China Wall (Glamis) is listed @ 300 feet, Choke Cherry (Idaho) is listed @ 400 feet, but some say 500 feet, Sand Mountain (Nevada) is listed a 600 feet and Sand Mountain (Utah) is listed @ 700 feet. But they are all wee little things compared to the tallest in the world. Located in Argentina is a dune that comes in @ a staggering 4,035 feet!!! Does this make me a dune nerd haha?!!!
@@MZZHZZWZZ lol nice trivia I assumed sand mountain Utah was bigger I guess I was thinking more on challenging side but thanks for the info that’s cool
My Faverate dunes !! The short run shoot on the far right I have climbed many times there is only like a 20 foot run !! In all the times I've been there and climbed it there has never been another track and I have never seen anyone else top it ! It's only for bikes ! I ride a CR 500 !!! KICK OF THAT DUNE !!! HAHAHAH !😁
In the world of power sports, going over a Razorback on an angle is an indescribable rush. It’s unmatched-weightless, smooth, and flowing, a feeling that can’t be replicated anywhere else. It’s the pinnacle of motion, a unique experience every time, yet impossible to fully capture in words.
You almost made it to the big one, choke cherry is a good test but go on west to devils and that will be the best test at st.anthony.. Absolute wonderful place..
Again awsome video...!!! Dam man cool place... day dream about riding giant dunes like that out west... bucket list shit...just took my 22 xrc on it first test an I thought the hills I was climbing were big... crap man choke looks insane.... thanks for sharing 👍 absolutely fantastic
Haha, this popped up again so I had to watch. I've been back. Hit Choke again in 2. Breezed up pretty easily. Tire setup and momentum make a huge difference I think. I hit it fast
Choke is a crazy steep hill bigger and steeper than anything I’ve been up in Glamis. That place all together is rad!! I spent a week there last summer it was amazing. Long drive from SoCal tho but not to bad.
in the 80's and 90's it was steep because it was covered in plant roots holding it steeper than 45Degrees. since sandsport's wouldn't shut up about it, and now social media have made duning 1000 times more popular, choke cherry is no longer special it's no steeper than any of the other north faces in idaho in fact its shallower because it see's traffic every day. the illusion is the damn woops at the base. as a matter of fact 10 years ago there wasn't a damned parking lot at the bottom. when I started riding in 91 choke had a 40' run and there was only a handfull of lines... this dune has been destroyed.
@@desertsxs yes sir, it looked like the sand was really dry. We were there in august of last year a few days after the monsoon moisture left the area. That hill was tough’
my yz 426 dirt bike would make it up when i was in college and weighed 180lbs, in 2nd gear, pinned. now I'm 220, and the bike is tired. Last time I tried, I only made it half way
Choke is a good size hill my x3 will pull 40mph up it in 2wd. On stage 5 e85. The bowl you call big bowl is devils dune! St Anthony is a awesome place to ride lots bigger than glamis. Bigger hills not area. And at 5000’ it’s cinda a power robber. The sand is softer that glamis too But all in all the 2 bests places to dune imo glamis and st Anthony
@@desertsxs I run Glamis alot with an x3. I think the best bet is to talk to some of the people who have a lot of experience there, the sand is a little different everywhere. I would say running a skat trak 12-paddle demon on that x3 is good. Every machine is a little different. The people who sell them in the area usually know what works best.

Looks super fun. Another place on my bucket list!
It’s a must haha just a long ways for ya

Ya glamis has big ones and Utah also but choke is one of the more difficult ones

Yes it’s a awesome rush cruising over the rzr backs for sure
You almost made it to the big one, choke cherry is a good test but go on west to devils and that will be the best test at st.anthony.. Absolute wonderful place..
Ya we always go there to just not on this video
Again awsome video...!!! Dam man cool place... day dream about riding giant dunes like that out west... bucket list shit...just took my 22 xrc on it first test an I thought the hills I was climbing were big... crap man choke looks insane.... thanks for sharing 👍 absolutely fantastic
Thanks ya it’s definitely on the bigger side of things for sure
I love that place! You guys hit a pretty loose day. Sand was tough on Choke. Backing down is sketch.
Ya specifically backing down choke
Went to St Anthony this year too. First time. Choke was pretty cool. Managed it easy in 4. Should have tried in 2
2 makes it trial haha
Haha, this popped up again so I had to watch. I've been back. Hit Choke again in 2. Breezed up pretty easily. Tire setup and momentum make a huge difference I think. I hit it fast
@@Archanon79 awesome lol
ya both are important and a little moisture in the sand makes a huge difference too
Cannot wait to tackle this hill!
It’s an awesome place to ride
Choke is a crazy steep hill bigger and steeper than anything I’ve been up in Glamis. That place all together is rad!! I spent a week there last summer it was amazing. Long drive from SoCal tho but not to bad.
Ya the drive there was brutal but some of my favorite dunes

@@desertsxs the drive isn't so bad it's only like 34 miles.. :)
🙋♂️been years though before sxs were even a thing really. Wanting to take the pro R there sometime
Great car for there
Love St. Anthony. My General won’t make it over the top of Choke… yet.
Turbo it haha
@@desertsxs that is my plan
That hill is big
Yes
Been there, climbed it in an XP 4Turbo with four people, it was tough!
Ya a dry sand day can make it tough
@@desertsxs yes sir, it looked like the sand was really dry. We were there in august of last year a few days after the monsoon moisture left the area. That hill was tough’
my yz 426 dirt bike would make it up when i was in college and weighed 180lbs, in 2nd gear, pinned. now I'm 220, and the bike is tired. Last time I tried, I only made it half way
Oh bummer
Choke is a good size hill my x3 will pull 40mph up it in 2wd. On stage 5 e85. The bowl you call big bowl is devils dune! St Anthony is a awesome place to ride lots bigger than glamis. Bigger hills not area. And at 5000’ it’s cinda a power robber. The sand is softer that glamis too
But all in all the 2 bests places to dune imo glamis and st Anthony
Ya I’m with you on that
Love the Let's Go Brandon flag !
The geocache broke my heart...
Where is this? Looks bad ass!
St Anthony Idaho very cool place
RZR 800 wasn't invented yet last time I was there. Choke was for Lt500s and Banshee's back then.
Been a while lol totally different seen now
Utv s have taken over only a little dirt bikes
The hills there are big and steep
More challenging than most
Made that hill with a 17 Turbo
I miss st anthony. Best dunes
I agree
Choke is fun! My R1 Raptor can pull 60mph up the hill.
Nice
You guys need different paddles especially the can am.
what ones do you recommend
@@desertsxs I run Glamis alot with an x3. I think the best bet is to talk to some of the people who have a lot of experience there, the sand is a little different everywhere.

@@theonlyone83 good to know
We run glamis mostly just did a trip up there
That hill is a kiddie hill lol
It’s very steep, and the high elevation kills horsepower.
The Big Bowl is called Devils
Thanks for correcting me
Almost roasted my belt when I tried hittin it in 2WD
