Dear Dune Surfers,

The Drive name says it all , the idea of this drive is to practice the skill and enjoy the thrill of riding on the Sand Ridges.

This drive is Part 1 of 3 Skill Drive Series which will be posted in subsequent weeks depending on the Off road Plan with Carnity to balance all leads and drives to get as best possible a balance of variety in terms of challenges, drives, leads, terrains and areas.

Part 1 - Ridge Rider Republic – Al Qudra – 21 May 2022

Part 2 - Criss Cross Country  – Faqa ??– TBA

Part 3 -  Technical Terrain Transit - Will be posted in coming weeks

All three are for Fewbie Plus and above only as we believe at this level you are well aware of your car, your driving style in sync with your car for these drives to learn, challenge and improve albeit safely. Please watch out for the subsequent parts in coming weeks and join in as per your availability.

As the names suggest, we would be focusing on the Different skills for Dune surfing over the next few weeks. 

For Part 1 we will be driving in the long range dunes as much as possible.

We will be taking the longer route from Qudra towards Lisaili which means we will be driving through area near Solar park and some technical patches to traverse between long range dunes hitting every ridge in safest way possible.  

Drive Time is expected to be 3 hours . We will be moving in parallel to the Dirt Track  connecting Qudra to Lisaili in case of any early exits. We will specifically hit the areas in these terrains which will offer us maximum dunes for doing the drive purpose.

Make sure you come with a full tank, Car in good conditions, recovery gear for this level (Radio, Flag, Deflator, Compressor, Kinetic rope and Soft shackles). Recovery points should be checked and in good conditions.

It is preferable for the cars to have a front bash plate (6mm or more) to keep the radiator protected, if not it is at your own risk to join.

 

General Info

This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines. We expect every member that joins this drive to go through below information and and strictly follow these guidelines in order not to jeopardize someone's health, and to ensure we can keep organizing these drives safely.

This picture 😂! unapproved recovery technique, but worked to bring the car from that awkward position.

Good stuff @GauravSoni, thank you for taking us safely from start to exit, good practice on approaching, riding and crossing ridges.

See you all soon in the sand!
