This is the beginning of a three day trip riding in Michigan. I had always heard of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes growing up and it was cool to finally go there and ride!
I decided to vlog a little more than usual and made a time-lapse of my little adventure over from Mankato Minnesota. The ferry experience was awesome and it’s pretty cool to know it’s only 5 and a half hours from my house and I can be in Michigan. I’ll definitely be using it again when I make my return trip in September!
Big thanks to all people who helped make this trip happen! My Parents, my buddy Bruce, Raptorman (Josh), and Alan for making my first time at Silver Lake a total breeze.
The first part of this is definitely a good overview of the area. Unfortunately the 30 mph plus headwinds out of the south pretty much made the big test hill not jumpable. So much sand would hit your face at the top that it wasn’t in the cards for me.

It was also fun to meet Alex Houdek who is an avid motocross racer and has his own channel Brapp Bros.

His TRX450 was down for maintenance but he still ripped it up on his Warrior 350. It was also cool to ride with his buddies Trevor, Stephen, Kaleb, and Ben!
I practically recorded the whole day so I figured I should split this into 2 parts. The 2nd part picks up after the rain stops and will feature a bunch of 250r walk arounds, drag racing, and some group riding shots.
