Hi @Luiz Nóbrega

Have a look at below post:

You will need to complete at least  5 Newbie Level drives before requesting your promotion to Fewbie level. 

See you soon in the sand !

Great!! Thanks

Hi, just have a question. 

I've already did a Newbie Drive. Can I repeat this drive of it is mandatory to go for a Fewbie Drive? 

Thanks

I @Luiz Nóbregai note you have already complete an Absolute Newbie drive. I’m afraid you can’t join twice . 
 

@Frederichas a newbie drive on Sunday Morning, perhaps you can waitlist for that drive ?

 

 

Hi. Ok. Understood.

i am trying to change the status “going” but I can’t. 
Any suggestion?

@Luiz Nóbrega I see you have signed up for the Absolute newbie drive again. You will be asked to sign out as you can do that drive  only once. 

Please sign out so your waitlist on this drive shows you are waiting for the first drive and not a second one.

Hi actually I wonder to do it again , because I want to introduce the experience to Roger Theodoro. 
he didn’t had the opportunity to come with us last week, but I really would like to go with him this time.
Than later we would go for the Newbie drive together. Let me know if you agree with that. I will make sure that I will not get stuck this time. 😁

Great to see so many of you signing up for your first drive. As a basic introduction, kindly reply to the following:

1) Can you confirm the 4x4 you will be driving ?

2) Do you have prior off-roading experience ? If so please clarify

3) Does your vehicle have front and back towpoints ? This is mandatory before being eligible to join.

 

Tools Needed

For your very first drive with us, we would like to ask you to bring a pressure gauge, deflator tool, and a compressor to inflate your tyres after the drive. (the one near the gas station is usually defective).

The next tools you will be needing from second drive onwards, are a walkie-talkie, off-road flag, and a decent shovel. If by any chance you have these tools already you are of course welcome to bring them along on your first drive.

Welcome aboard! 
 

Hello, 

Thank you for the introduction.

I have a pathfinder 2009 and had one experience before that. 
i have 2 recovery points (front and back) and all the equipment required.

thanks Luiz

@JeromeFJ thank you for the detailed trip report. 

@Krishna R sorry you could not join due to the missing rear tow hook and I appreciate that you understood the importance of it and why we could not let you drive today. Hope to see you in the sand soon. You should be able to get a tow point for the hitch receiver at ACE or online at Amazon. 

@Paolo Morresi @Samer Najm @Taimur Khan @Haitham Khattab @Luiz Nóbrega all of you did brilliantly and I could not have asked for a more enthusiastic bunch. 

 

@Paolo Morresi you did really well and I could tell that you have driven in the desert before. 

@Taimur Khan you were a bit hesitant at the start but as we progressed I could see you were really trying and with each climb/ sidey you were getting better. To answer your question above, when doing a side slope, I always look at it in 3 stages. 1st, for as long as you are climbing, you need to give it enough of gas and don't be afraid to push the car. Once you stop climbing and start driving parallel to the ridge, you have to stop pushing it, but maintain the momentum that got you there. If you slow down, gravity would come into play and will start pulling you down. 3rd, when exiting you let go of the gas but don't allow the vehicle to free roll down, be gentle on the brakes and make sure you are completely in control of the descent speed. As you get more confident and learn the way your vehicle reacts in different situations, you can tweek the way you approach different dunes.

@Haitham Khattab was I glad to see another JGC. I was impressed with the way you managed today and trust me, I know what it takes to tame the JGC. With all the computers controlling the car, it will not always allow you to do what you want but the more you do it, the system learns and adapts to your driving style and in time you will master it. Your stuck today is part of the game and it will not be the last time, these are all the learning experiences that come as part of offroading. Overall very well done. 

@Luiz Nóbrega what can I say, it was impressive that you got through the first 30 minutes on 2WD. Always remember, when you switch to 4 Hi or low, if it is blinking, it is not engaged. After your stuck when we actually got you into 4Hi, you did really well. My only feedback to you would be to control the speed on descents. Other than that, you did great. 

@Samer Najm you too drove really well today and the only feedback would be to not stop on the crest when crossing a dune. I could see you were hesitant and would come to a complete stop on the crest before you descend. The sand was hard today so it did not matter but as the sand starts drying, it becomes less forgiving and you will end up cresting yourself. 

@JeromeFJ thank you for the exceptional support and clear instructions throughout. 

 

Moving forward you all will be joining the Newbie drives and not an Absolute Newbie drive anymore. Drives are announced every Monday at 11 am, and they go live on Monday at 7:00 pm. Due to the high demand, these drives get full in about 10 minutes, so please be online at 7 pm to book your spot. If you miss a spot, put your name on the waitlist asap. Generally, by Friday with dropouts everyone does get a spot if they have waitlisted. 

For the next drives, please bring along a deflator, pressure gauge, flag, compressor and radio as a minimum. 

• Learn to deflate your tires and checking them precisely
• Learn to fix a flag on your car
• Learn to program and fully charge your radio

You can join the Carnity Whatsapp Drive Notification to get the latest updates on the drives, so that you can RSVP on time for the next weekend's drive.

Please have a look at below topic which describes the tools needed for every level. There is a separate tutorial inside which explains which radio we recommend and how to program them: (Please do not buy the Baofeng 888S spare radio we gave you, as these cannot be programmed without a special cable and software).

 

Please have a look at below grading structure that explains various off-road levels:

 

 

Thanks again and see you'll in the sand.

Thank you for the feedbacks! It was an amazing experience, I've already got the rest of the equipment for the next ride! I will be ready to get a spot for the newbie drive. Thank you so much. See you very soon.

Hi. I have a pathfinder 2009, recovery points at the front and behind. More than 8 inches clearance. No off-road experience on the sand. 
 

thanks
