Exploring Untracked Dunes at Buttercup

[@ttatvoffroad2632]

seeing the border is cool, but on a 4 wheeler is somethin else LOL awesome!

[@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.

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

butter cup is insane man!! your 450 sounds nice and crispy, these scenic trips would make for some sic PH calendars !!

[@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!

[@premium1188]

Hey pete! I just wanted to say im really enjoyimg the videos where youre in desert. And another thing, i just got a new quad, a ltz 250 and i think of these videos when i ride because its like entertainment in my head!

[@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.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

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! 🤙

[@animater2658]

hey Pete some addvice, next time your in the sand dunes and the sand is soft dont break to hard or stop and slow down when riding up a dune or the side of it

[@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 😊🙏

[@nahumjosuemercadomarquez7527]

It is exciting 💯🤘👌

[@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.

[@chriscallas9483]

[@PeteHager]

Thanks for watching man! 😬🤘

[@logannelson7974]

looks so fun i think i’m going riding next weekend

[@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.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Pete Hager what are you running for sand paddles I run wooly boogers They have a tractor Tread Paddle with knobby's on the out side they are a awesome all around sand and snow tires we are currently building a side by side buggy I ended up getting the Polaris Trail Boss with the Polaris Indy 400 twin snowmobile engine and my Suzuki Quadrunner My wife is going to riding Suzuki Quadrunner I ride my Polaris Trail Boss 400 my son ride's his 110 atv

Pete I have a genuine question, if I love atv trail riding and snowmobiles, Is Wisconsin or Minnesota a good place to live or somewhere near

[@PeteHager]

If your looking to guarantee snow for snowmobiling your gonna want to be on the north side of Minnesota/Wisconsin/Michigan. Theres great summer trail riding in northern half of all those states too 👍

[@mattiashe8436]

@@PeteHager Thanks man! Been a fan for a long time and love the summer Minnesota and Wisconsin trail vids. Also you trip to Arizona and Cali was pretty sweet too! Keep up the good work!

[@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 😅👍

So jealous to see you ride like that in the sand. Here in Canda, Quebec, I can't ride easy for like 2 month... I miss my Honda 400ex.

[@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.
