Great drive Fredric! it was a very good decision to move away from all the tracks into some less traveled areas. Credits to all the drivers for developing their skills and mastery of momentum as the drive progressed. I look forward to challenging the heights of that last dune we observed near our stopping point. Happy New Year to all.

Very enjoyable drive and could see the skill levels improving as drive continued. Driving behind Chaita proved to be an easy task as he managed the drive to the skill levels of all. I am still learning about “Momentum”…it can be your friend if you learn to build and control it. Each driver and their vehicle develop momentum in different methods…learn with your vehicle how to develop it as your greatest friend…especially when you are in soft sand. Looking forward to next drive!

For the first Fewbie experience....WOW!!! Thanks to all for that excellent adventure Friday morning and especially to Gaurav for taking us through those dunes with minimal stoppages. It certainly was a learning experience for me and thank you all for your encouragement and fine examples of driving for me to observe. I look forward to the next time out. John

Sri, had a great time yesterday!! learning more about how my FJ handles in the soft sand...and learning more how to negotiate the dunes. Looking forward to my 5th Newbie drive next week. Josh, good work also as the sweeper and reminding me to close the gap...it is too easy to lose visibility of the car ahead if you are not paying attention...and several times nearly made a wrong turn. I do have a question...several places we drove past a small pocket or hole that appears to be very difficult to exit if you accidentally drive into one...how you recover a vehicle out of a situation like that? See you all next time! John Sri, had a great time yesterday!! learning more about how my FJ handles in the soft sand...and learning more how to negotiate the dunes.

John And sorry so late to offer up the maxtrax boards for getting that one vehicle moving...I was sitting there watching for several minutes as the vehicle moved slightly forward and back while not getting traction before thinking if there was only something to put under the spinning wheels...then remembering what i had in the back of my FJ.

Great information here. I recommend this be a class during one of the Newbie Drives. Perhaps already on the schedule but this would give a better appreciation and understanding of route selection.- 28 replies
