Once the entire group had been welcomed and all the drivers identified convoys were set all the guidelines laid out in Marshall Ganesh’s pre drive post. The rest of the report covers convoy 2 lead by Ashok, Iqsaan 2nd lead, David(DVG), Baher, Himanshu, Carl(Plowboy), Sridhar and myself as sweep. A nice tight group :thanks: Ganesh ๐
The overall drive was at a good level and a very nice combination of small challenges for individual drivers and their machines, through mixed tricky dunes, passing via Fossil & Camel rocks, for a short play, and terminating at the Saddle base for live Friday afternoon coverage of local ‘petrol heads’ strutting their stuff. The entire meet was then lead over to the fall for an awesome dropshot in the gathering dusk. Individuals were then either guided to inflation or inflated and departed :thanks: to Ashok very nice lead and :thanks: to all for participating ๐
The following comments are given from the unique observational position of sweep and are intended as guidance for personal growth in budding sandbugs ๐
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF ANY PASSENGER, PLEASE ENSURE THAT EVERBODY IN YOUR VEHICLE IS USING A SEAT BELT Please remember that this is an extreme sport and we need to ALL be as safe as is possible…passengers included :thanks:
Please understand that for reasons of collective security it is important to exercise a modicum of discipline when in a convoy. Please do not deviate from the chosen route unless guided to do so by a Marshall or senior member. If the vehicle you are following is out of sight STOP & USE YOUR RADIO to ask for guidance.
Iqsaan, brother you were trucking, keep up the good work, very nice control ๐
David here’s an opinion on your post below
The decision is of course yours, we, FJC drivers, disconnect from source(under the hood) all automatic traction -air bag- ABS and stability control. These are meant to help ‘blacktop’ drivers in on road challenges, the sand can deliver shocks which we, as drivers, must absorb so that we can make our vehicles perform :-ss
Outside of that mate you are a good driver, your motorcycle experience comes to the fore, you do have lots of power at your command, use it wisely.
Baher- excellent progress my friend, very nice self recovery. Keep up the good work :-BD
Himanshu, You have a good ‘handle on the driving, maybe too much power on occasion, work towards keeping the vehicle under control both sides of a crossover
Carl nice driving brother, :thanks: for keeping an eye open for your fellow convoy members
Sridhar, as you willingly admit you were a little rusty, good to allow yourself to be guided therefore. Please never fight gravity in either direction. Your close encounter with the tree was made more difficult every time you applied the brakes my friend. Try not to be so ‘fierce’ with the sand and it will let you through ๐
Be safe a have a good week
Hey Brian!
I think you have got me confused with someone else.
I was in with Kumar’s convoy.
Cheers
Himanshu
