You forgot to warn them.....Glamis fever is real !!!!! Once u start going , you never wanna stop going !!!!

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Definitely 👌🏼

[@kurtmcmichael2045]

Truth

[@rudyflores8886]

Unfortunately my friend was truly successful started a trucking company he retired leaving his wealth to his 3 sons and wife. Yes he did what he loved to do at Glamis and died in a roll over and explosion. He was 71 yrs. God bless his soul.RIP

[@anthonyolsen9299]

Real off-roaders don't go to glamis much..glamis is big time rookie racing

[@heartsky]

@@anthonyolsen9299 It's a spectacle, to party and be seen. But there's so many other places with way better riding where there's far less people. Not to mention how that sand destroys your ride.

[@NextAdventureYoutube]

This is a great video! Thank you for the detailed walkthrough! Glamis is on my bucket list and I can't wait to visit someday.

[@JLo-ev5bc]

Passed this on to a group who will be going for thier 1st trip next month. Myself...30yrs plus. Good info.

[@kevinstrekkie]

That was a great video for newbies. Doing a great job with these info vids. I've of course been there multiple times from Edmonton Alberta Canada. About 6 season all for camp rzr which you should of mentioned. It's likely the best way to break in a new duner. I've only missed 1 season due to covid. Can't wait to return to this place of fun. I've been to all the hot spots you mentioned as well. See you out there!!

[@650ic6]

He did mention it.

[@kevinstrekkie]

@@650ic6 what was that comment for?

[@dougm.635]

I still love Plaster City, Ocotillo Wells, and Superstition better; but then I dont like sand or paddles... but nice, informative video Nick.

[@lowrider94ss]

Why don't u like paddles?

[@ahmadalanjary2020]

Been beating prerunners for over 20 years in so cal and OW / plaster city is much better. No “fee” less dingus in their side by sides , and much more terrain to explore ( not just dunes )

[@brianchisnell1548]

Had my Birthday party every year at Supes. MLK weekend. Even brought my band out there. 2000 - 2015. 7.5 mile marker. No paddles.

[@HeyDude93gt]

All 48 of my year's living in Florida I can attest to the great experience of riding in Glamis. My 1st of 3 trips to Glamis started in 2001 then 02 then 2004. I tell EVERYONE they should plan at least one trip there for the experience the southeast mud riding can NOT give you.

[@thegooniverse495]

Now can you do a video on UTV races classes with a basic breakdown of vehicle requirements? I'm one of the east coasters, and I have done a few GNCC races and I really want to take a vacation and hit a desert race, but I got no clue about the classes. Widths, geometry, engine mods vs stock etc etc. I can't seem to find a video covering any of that anywhere

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

That's a great idea, but also really complex. Out west BITD (Best in the Desert) is the premiere series, with the most entries, and there have been some notable rule changes just this year. If you are making the trek, I'd pick a race that's best to watch and spectate, which would be the Mint 400 or the UTV World Champs (see our videos on UTVWC), or a race in Laughlin. The rules from WORCS to BITD or Score do vary, sometimes quite a bit, which is almost impossible to document accurately.

[@thegooniverse495]

@@ChupacabraOffroad I have been eye balling the mint 400 my self. All of them look so big compared to what we have out east. Our gncc races are like a side show to the dirtbike races (which is where I come from). Give the idea some thought! Even if it's vague like "this class is full custom machines, this class is modded stockers, this is for true stock machines" etc. Just a good starting point for those of us interested so we can know what series and rule books to read up on for specifics. I'll be doing research over the next week and will have all the info I need, but I think that could make great content for those of us that are curious.

Been going to Glamis since i was 9 years old. Im like a human GPS out there.

[@mikemiller9119]

Still didn’t hear why Glamis is the spot. I do think it’s the clout and will die off as it’s done before. I personally get bored of the dunes, not much to challenge a rider or driver. So many people just go to show off their money or dept. others go because it’s the party place to go. That’s why so many people just sit around and watch others.

[@scott_p_havens5188]

I’m just glad that you didn’t mention all the incredible trails that are endless from the washes all the way to AZ

[@killerkrab42]

Loved going to Glamis, but I haven't been in about 10 years. Just got into a place where I can get in the dunes again. Has there been an uptick in bad drivers? I notice around my area, a lot more people are trying to offroad and it's become a cesspool for bad drivers and UTV accidents. Is this also the case for Glamis, or is it still relatively the same as a decade ago?

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Many would say that, IDK if it's true. The SxS now allows a lot more people to get out and dune, compared to the older ATV/ buggy days. With more people comes more drivers good and bad. Glamis will bite if you get out into the dunes and run out of talent, but with 4wd and good HP it's also a great way to learn the sport. Covid also got a lot of new people into outdoor activities. Most of what you see on social is accidents, but I've been on lots of trips and not seen any drama.

[@killerkrab42]

@@ChupacabraOffroad Thanks for the reply, good to know not a lot of drama still. Looking forward to checking it out again come winter. Ride safe!

[@josephmadrid3753]

Use to love glamis back in the day of 2 strokes to many idiots now especially on holiday weekends still get out there now and then.

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Off weekends are pretty chill if that is more of your vibe. Nobody wants to admit it, but people love the big weekends for the people watching, crowds and action. I feel like once oyu get out into the dunes on big weekends, its pretty safe, the accidents are at the hot spots. My $.02

[@edc1451]

I completely agree. We still go, just avoid the popular weekends. There are still fools dusting through your camp site at all hours of the night.

[@ahmadalanjary2020]

Glamis is worth seeing at least one time . But it’s mostly a major hassle . Fees , lots of law enforcement, lots of thrashers/scum bags, very crowded. When it’s not crowded much more enjoyable. Also you better have your whip/flag (with light 💡) otherwise your gonna get a ticket .

[@ericelsberry5585]

On the bucket list

[@timleatham3641]

St Anthony dunes in Idaho aren't as spread out but has lots of bowls and razor backs

[@TheDieselndust]

I lived in El Centro from 67-70 my father worked as an engineer for Mattel toys, we would go to Glamis almost every weekend. Things were a lot different then.

[@whm1963]

What a great video so much information…

[@superdutyzack]

It's awesome but my family stopped going for a few reasons all mostly regarding too many people and too many shitheads. Most duners are great hard working people who will help you in your most difficult time of need. That said, there are those who don't follow the good nature of duners and while all dune locations have these people, Glamis has more of them. We've had people ride through our camp which we had blocked off by doing a circle formation. We've had tools, tire/wheels, and ice chests stolen. Had a trailer right next to our camp catch fire because they were playing with gas and fire. Another year we had gunshots. Glamis is badass and everyone should go, but it's definitely not my groups cup of tea anymore.

I guess to each their own. I love you guys but that is the last place on the planet you would find me. Soooo many people, many drinking, no thanks. As a member of SAR, I see soooo many red flags. I watched a video yesterday of a head on collisions between two side by sides and there were Mich Ultra cans spread everywhere and the folks at the scene were drinking. I like the mountain states (I'm in Montana) where its possible to ride all day and not see another person or vehicle. I get it, lots of people love it which I respect their opinion (like I said, to each their own), but it's not for me.
