MN SHEE Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 St Anthony puts OK to shame ben to both going back to St Anthony this spring 5 shees 1 4polk and a rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 No comparison between St. Anthony and little sahara in OK. Unless you live right next to LS, or its the only place you can afford to go to I don't see any reason why you wouldn't go the extra distance and hit some real dunes like Sand Mountain, UT or KP in Wyoming. Both are well worth the drive, over going to LS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Here's a comparison between KP sand dunes (the three pics across the top) and LS, OK (the one picture on the bottom). All images are taken at the same elevation from google maps. 27,750ft. Edited January 14, 2011 by BigRed350x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong it's still a damn blast and I'm glad it's only 3 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTS355 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 If you just looking for a new place to ride there is Kermit Dunes in Kermit Texas. I will be a little closer to you. The dunes themselves are not that big but the area to ride is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstaten24 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I like to have some nice hills and whatnot which is how the Oregon coast is, I've only been to st Anthony once wish I cud go back but that's like a 5 day drive just to get there. So sand mountain in Utah is worth going to over LS? I'll have to see how mug farther it is cuz LS is only a 6 hour drive Edited January 14, 2011 by gstaten24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong it's still a damn blast and I'm glad it's only 3 hours away. That's not even all of KP. That's only the ORV portion of the dunes. The dunes themselves are actually close to tripple the size of the pics, but the rest is wilderness study area. The portion I posted up is the public ORV area. ... and yes, it really is THAT big. Its the second largest active sand dunes in north america. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are dunes at Sand Mountain, UT that are close to what you would experience at St. Anthony. Well worth the drive. We are going there for Easter weekend. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 ohh thats COOL!! LS sucks its full of sand and hotdogs and golfcarts and these weirdo's keep flying by yelling the 250 class is the shit, plus i swear everyone is drunk and their wive's are half naked most of the time! then there is all the loud ass smoking bike's with the mufflers that fell off of them. and they only seem to be able to go in a straight line out there ! screw that place!

BigRed350x Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Does KP have camping places with power and water like LS does? Thay place looks bad ass. There is plenty of camping and parking, but no water or power hookups. There are BLM bathrooms, that's about it. On the busiest holiday weekends you won't even see that many people out on the dunes at KP. Its by far the least ridden dunes in the country, and one of the biggest. Its not easy to get to though, so not many people venture out there. The picture in my signature is taken at the south end of KP. You can see the dunes going all the way up to steamboat mountain in the background. Edited January 15, 2011 by BigRed350x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 what fun is a race bike if there is no one there to race? I'd hate to go ride and only have 2 bikes to race. I like my high traffic area's.. LS was a blast last year. Saturday nite they had to be running 20 wide.. I loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my high traffic area's.. LS was a blast last year. Saturday nite they had to be running 20 wide.. I loved it! On the bigger weekends there are quite a few big bikes that show up at KP for the racing. Not as many as you would see at Utah or LS, but still some nice fast bikes. Turbo GSXR1000's, 16mil DM, 4mil cheetahs, 4mil cubs, 10mil cubs, snomo powered bikes... If you venture out on the dunes, you won't see anyone. If you stay at the big hills and want to race there will be plenty of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
