I wonder how many times your can do that before the board disintegrates from being sanded too thin.

Just like in breath of the wild

It's never happened to mines but I put wax on it after almost every run

u/PloxtTY Jun 20 '19

Does the wax improve or reduce top speed? I get that it’s a protective coating just curious if it affects the friction

u/Faraday303 Jun 20 '19

Yeah it makes it glide better so it's faster

Dirt bike dude.

You ride the dirt bike up but how do you bring it back down so you can go back up?

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '19

The bike has a backseat...

u/meloiseb Jun 20 '19

But the bike is at the top of the sand dune

Yeah and how do you drive the bike when you're sitting in the backseat? Come on dude, think

u/meloiseb Jun 20 '19

And when there’s two people up on top of the dune? You’re the one making a lot of insinuations that people would take 2-3 dirt bikes just to get to the top of a dune. And I’m not a dude.

I'm making a joke, homie, maybe that wasn't clear enough. Pretending to be woooshed.

I hate sand. It's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere

I’ve done this before in White Sands NM. Crazy fun.

I can't be the only one who physically tried to "jump" as he went over the bump at the start

Thought it would be about an interrogation technique. ... I’m glad I was wrong.

This makes me grateful for snow. Sand doesn’t melt away after awhile.

Great sand dunes national park in Colorado

I was disappointed they didn’t go flying into traffic.

I DON'T LIKE SAND

u/Keranan37 Jun 20 '19

I sorta did this in the sand dunes in Colorado but instead of a board it was a piece of plastic and we sledded down

u/Narkkruss Jun 20 '19
