    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.

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

    • @MZZHZZWZZ
      @MZZHZZWZZ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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?!!!

    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 !!!

    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.

      @sandman900rr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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

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.
