Exploring Untracked Dunes at Buttercup

[@SuperrEric]

That’s awesome that you got to experience Buttercup! I go there 5-6 times per year during the winter months and camp there for 3-5 days every time. It’s crazy to me how there’s always something new you find there and never gets old!

[@PeteHager]

I'm very glad we went! I hope to be in the Imperial Dune area much longer next time. We did well for only having 2 days but there's so much more to see! Cant wait until next trip! 😬🤘

[@i9mm650]

the best feeling is when u let someone ride your bike and he gets impressed with it

[@codyoffroad9176]

That's so true

[@codyweien4513]

Agree entirely. Especially when the other guy has a fast bike aswell.

[@grantwarren6147]

I hate letting people ride my bike tbh

[@codyweien4513]

@@grantwarren6147 I dont get why people are like that. It's a toy. Why not let it put a smile on someone else's face too? I literally gave my buddy a clean f4i just because I hated seeing his expression everytime we went riding an he was stuck at home.

[@QuadGuyCy]

Awesome video, buttercup is a lot of fun.

[@gilbertohernandez2752]

Thats number one thing This my favorite channel for atv off-road. Safety Safety. I almost killed my self back on 2019 had gotten a brand new polaris razor 1000xp turbo. Deleted it tuned it straight pipe it. Thought I was iron man nothing could happen to me. Second time riding threw the seat belt behind me because it won’t go more than 15mph without your seat belt. Hit a curve a lil too fast back tire came out rim sinked into dirt flipped couple times on the air, felt like a rag doll couldn’t do nothing to stop it. It spit me out landed on top of a bush. In my mind I thank God was fine. Getting up looked to the side razor was coming in slow motion like super slow was stopping already just the corner of the roof broke my face and clavicle. Dumb me wasn’t wearing a helmet. Now I really am iron man 😂 got plates and screws on my face right side cheek bone. Broken clavicle got plates and screws on my foot too. My eyes almost popped out lost my vision couldn’t breath. They flew me from Pecos TX to Midland TX. Now I wear all my gear helmet had to learn it the hard way. So when I see someone not wearing their gear I just think y’all selfish aren’t thinking about our loved ones. The day before yesterday my 6 year old flipped on his 2020 raptor 90. He got some bruises and sore he good thank Good. I make him wear his gear and helmet if not it would of been ugly. Keep doing what you doing brother Pete. Awesome!!!

[@PeteHager]

Wow very scary experience! It sounds like you’ve recovered and are able to play again thank gosh! People always say it’s not if you crash, it’s when. I’ve done handlebar sports my whole life and I’ve wrecked countless times. I would never do these things without a helmet on. Sometimes we learn the hard way but it sounds like you’ve made the best of it and moved forward as I have in the past. Thanks for the compliments Gilberto 😊🙏

[@rosamartinez4065]

Thank you so much for sharing your ride. I have only seen Butter cup from the hwy. Now I want to redo the gear and go ride again. Thank you❤️

[@Jimmyboy1674]

I used to ride my tri-z 250 out there 30 years ago! Buttercup was my favourite place to go!❤

I just went to little sahara and went dune riding for the first time, I had a blast and your videos are a major influence on how I want to pursue a hobby of riding

[@PeteHager]

Awesome to hear man! I love dune riding, it's priceless to hear my videos have helped push you to ride 😊🤘

[@PeteHager]

Sometimes I talk at the wrong time 😅🤦‍♂️

[@potatoem9200]

I got defensive @12:12. Watching this video brings me a lot of memories. My first trip to Buttercup was in the beginning of 88 I was 9mo old in an infant carrier whilst my mother hit the valleys on her 200s ATC. I am most familiar with Buttercup of all the Imperial, and that sand was definitely there a year ago, LOL. Not mad, just defensive, because it not quite accurate. There was some super cool spots to see in Mexico towards Algodones, Like Blow Hole, a dune that was more of a Funnel, or cyclone of sand. You could be wide open throttle in a complete circle, carving towards the top. I miss those dunes, Buttercup lost about a half of its riding area to that fence (look it up on Google maps, you can see the white line of the fence). Missing Dune Season.

[@SuperrEric]

I literally recognized your whole ride because of how long I’ve been going to Buttercup! Next time you’re there you should check out a huge hill that’s out there called China wall, there’s some pretty big stuff and really great jumps around that area of Buttercup!

[@ononewheel7]

Looks like such a blast 🤘

[@johnson1980jj1]

I was stationed at El Centro, and once at mcas Yuma. Buttercup was an Awesome place. Pismo beach was my favorite. My new home is.Windrock, in the secret city. All love to my offroaders.

I love buttercup. Just added exhaust and pcv to my Raptor. Going to try and make 1 more trip there in next few weeks before it gets too warm! Great video Pete! 🤙

[@Mtbtheeastcoast]

Great vid Pete!

[@piperjewell595]

Hey Pete you should try Dumont Dunes. It is by baker in SoCal and is awesome. Definitely a small set of dunes but it does not disappoint. Massive dunes throughout the entire thing. Huge bowls and a giant competition hill. I personally prefer it over Glamis.

[@grantstevinson7087]

YESSS IV BEEN WAITING!!! I love the all of the vids iv never ever been not Siri with a vid

[@randykrigbaum4907]

I love the video, I wish you guys would come out to the ATV meet up at Glamis this month. I have a yfz 450 but all the rest of my family has banshee so it make me feel like i'm the different one in the group. so it is cool to see people ride some 450 and not just all banshees. keep up the cool videos.

[@Cavem9n]

[@GeauxFastRacing]

I like your channel. You should do a detailed Raptor vs YFZ comparison video. I've been wanting to buy a brand new quad myself. I trail ride and XC race so it's hard to decide.

[@PeteHager]

Thanks man! I hope to talk about the differences between both machines later this season. I haven’t trail ridden the YFZ much so I’m excited to get it out in the woods! If your riding aggressively and racing some XC your definitely gonna want the 450 platform, the seating position is much more practical. The raptor is perfect for more casual paced riding. It’s kinda like comparing a hellcat to a corvette 😅👍

[@rydermendes8424]

I love the videos keep it up

[@brianjohnson8616]

Glamis will have smooth dunes with sharp razor backs after a good wind storm. Buttercup and Glamis are the same. One is at the other end of the dune range and not as frequented as the other. You can still always get snooty dunes on the Glamis side but you just have to go farther in. It’s better than way anyways. You avoid the stupid people who might crash into you. Go down Gecko Road and keep going toward the Wall.
