Some stats for the interested ones!!

Drive report: A drive which had flavors of almost everything one can expect. Pop-outs, stucks , refusals, winch recovery, car failure, tyre stem valve leaking, flat tyres, convoy getting lost, broken flags, no flags, car getting tugged out of the desert. The terrain was amazing and the convoy strong. Yet, proving Murphy’s law is what we ended up with. Brilliant driving by @Simon Dawood following my moves rerouting when necessary even without guidance. You guys responded well with every challenge thrown your way.. well done @James Thorn @Thomas Varghese@Chris Wing @Mohamad Anwer @Daniel Yang @Zed thanks for the valuable support @Pacific @Ashok chaturvedi And @Zed for carefully tugging the X out to the tarmac. At times I could sense the exasperation brewing up however I thankyou all for the patience. That’s what makes each one of you a true off-roader. in the end, we all got in and got out safely, and that’s what is the most satisfying aspect for the convoy. kudos! I will see you all again on sand , probably on the same route again next weekend. Have a great weekend. just to update you all, Thomas’s car is being taken on a recovery to his garage as I write this report. He will let us know what happened exactly!

Congratulations @takeshi sobue!! It’s a pleasure to watch you enjoy the dunes with your family every single time!! Your little one’s smiles brings great joy to everyone on every drive!! Well done and enjoy the next level!!!!

Dear Dune Surfers, The Drive name says it all, the idea of this drive is to practice the skill and enjoy the thrill of side sloping. This drive is the second edition of the Skill Drive Series which had been posted in previous weeks for Ridge riding, criss cross and Technical terrain navigation. Side sloping is an important skill while navigating the desert. This technique is very fun and addictive, but it needs to be executed with a clear mind and a good experience with the behavior of the car. That is the main reason why this technique is only used from Fewbie level onwards. It is very critical to understand how gravity works and as we always says: " DO NOT FIGHT GRAVITY ". this applies to this technique most of all. As the names suggest, we would be focusing on the skills of Side sloping on long range dunes during this drive we will be driving in the long range dunes as much as possible. We will be taking the longer route from Murquab to Qudra with some technical patches to traverse between long range dunes hitting every long side slope in safest way possible. Drive Time is expected to be 3 hours . 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 Let us know If your vehicle is lifted more than 4 inch of OEM stock height as your 4x4 center of gravity will be high, and you need to factor this accordingly while doing side-sloping.
