Silver Lake Sand Dunes 2012

This is highlights of the action throughout this past summer at the sand dunes around Silver Lake in Michigan. The video has some of everything from buggies, trucks and motocross bikes. There’s lots of gratuitous jumping, wheelies and drag racing. The footage was filmed by Dune TV and then this video was put together by the video guy of the Insane Racing Team from Iceland who compete in the Formula Offroad series. It definitely looks like a lot of fun.

Stadium Super Trucks at SEMA 2012

Robbie Gordon continues to promote his up and coming Stadium Super Truck project at this year’s SEMA show. Gordon is trying to bring back spectator friendly stadium and arena off road racing with small, agile trucks with a lot of suspension travel for jumping. It’s basically Arena Supercross on 4 wheels. It looks like Robbie took the SST out on the SEMA drift course. They definitely are starting to get the setup dialed in because the little truck is extremely agile despite having enough suspension travel to do some pretty extreme 3-wheel cornering. I think they might be on to something pretty exciting with these things. The video has some cheesy editing and some bad words in the soundtrack (**NSFW**), but seeing the truck in action is pretty impressive.
