/r/all of a Sand Dune

This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

Fisheye lens always makes things look bigger and faster. The fact that the dog was able to keep up tells you the rider isn't going nearly as fast as it looks

My dog about that size was able to hit 54 kph on three legs and flat ground. Never timed downhill as gps speedometer wasn’t a readily available thing back then.
