REPORT: Roller Coaster is Back
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2020 11:35 pm
Trip date: Friday 06.03.2020
Such a lovely afternoon seeing all the amazing people
We all met at the meeting point on time (except one member who didn't show-up without cancelling or informing that he won't make it, in future please inform the trip leader if you will not be able to make it to the trip) with everyone deflated & flags are up, I started with the safety briefing and explained how to side slope, then set up the convoy and started the Roller Coaster Ride
Convoy of total 17 cars:
Lead Marshal: PHARAOH
Supporting Marshals: bisho / MissoBisho / tompa-bjorka
Explorer: Cannonball
Experts: Kamran143 / Serkan / Ahmed Omar
Advance: Saadehsoudah
Intermediates: Naveesh / Matts / Scoozy / Nassir / snaware / Mytommi / bisharbn / mihir6066
We started by warming up on some medium dunes, since everyone was comfortable we increased the level one notch and went Roller Coaster over bigger dunes on faster pace. We had two "experienced stucks
" and couple of second tries, which were safely handled. We had several coffee breaks where we discussed the progress, some technicalities and drivers feedback. One our way back, we stopped between two big dunes where Marshal Bisho demonstrated side slopping on both dunes & all members practiced the same.
Trip ended around 6:30 pm after driving around 50KM, some members decided to leave after signing the logbooks while the rest decided to stay for a delicious BBQ. Moreover some desert enthusiasts planned to camp
Thanks you all for joining the trip, it was nice driving with you all.
See you soon on the dunes
