Hey guys, after a little outing today with Eric, Marina, and Neil I decided to see who drives like what? This is after a discussion about breaking our toys in the desert and the main cause for them breaking.
So your choices are as follows:
1. Sloper - Somebody who likes to do mainly drifting on sideslopes and slipfaces with minimum cresting who goes with smooth, almost water like fluidity around, and through the dunes.
2. Straight liner - well, like JC with an aggressive, lead foot driving, with no concern for what' over the next crest.
3. Tech Trekker - Somebody who is a little more technical with their driving style, likes to do a bit of everything, whilst still being happy to simply spin around a bowl for an hour or two.
4. All-rounder - Somebody who likes to do a bit of everything all in one run, can be happy in any situation and will not take a challenge lightly.
I personally think I am option 1, but others may think differently. What about you?
What is your driving style?

As for me, this is what I like doing most:
Playing in a bowl....but not for more than 15 minutes.
Side sloping...drifting......
Cresting....straight on with Sahar (Jeep) and side cresting in El Torro (Badrol)
Riding the crest..following that thin line on top of the dune...now this is what breaks my front axles most of the time

I'd like to think of myself as #3. I like to see how little effort I can crest with and what tight sandy bowl I can crawl through - some times by accident! My first love is rocks though.
I try to avoid side cresting as I feel my suspension is too tall most times for that but I do enjoy a side slope and the larger bowls to play in.

Now that I think about it, I may be number three also. I am very happy to do everything but prefer it to be technical, as straightlining is just not my thing.pseacraft wrote:I'd like to think of myself as #3.

I would think uour driving style is largely governed by the type of car you are driving and its wheelbase.
Personally I would be happy with number 4.
