Fantastic Video: Great Action, Jumps, Power Wheelstands, and Fun In Wild Machines At The Silver Lake Sand Dunes!


Fantastic Video: Great Action, Jumps, Power Wheelstands, and Fun In Wild Machines At The Silver Lake Sand Dunes!

The Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan are a mecca to fans of sand rails, big trucks, quads, dirt bikes, and anything else that can sling sand and propel its occupants to insane speeds. This video by the guys at InsaneRacing.no is fantastic and one of the best sand truck videos we’ve ever seen. There are no wrecks, just people jumping, pulling wheelies, and having a riot with vehicles that have huge horsepower and little weight. The rear engine sand rails that can pull the front tires several feet in the air at crazy speeds are something that we need to experience ourselves! Normally the InsaneRacing channel on YouTube carries a lot of action from the Norwegian Formula Off Road series. You know those guys with their nitrous and blown big block Jeeps climbing up volcanic ash mountains and flying over bodies of water at full bore.

At some point over the summer of 2012 they made a trip to Michigan to spend time on the famed dunes and this video is the end result of that trip. The music is good and the levels are perfect to where screaming engines can be clearly heard over the tunes. The footage is high def and creative, but the true stars of the seven minute clip are the machines featured. Several jumps are caught from multiple angles, one of the jumps captured seems to be pulled off by pro racing truck of some kind and it flies like a Piper Cub and lands like a two ton feather on the sand! The driver must have gotten FAA clearance before launching off into the wild blue yonder!

We know one thing. This video has definitely made us think about getting out to Silver Lake next year to see this action for ourselves. It has all the great things we love which include lots of horsepower and bad ass four wheeled fun machines.

Press play below to see some serious fun on the dunes at Silver Lake, Michigan – No wreckage or carnage, just big air!

    I first ran the dunes at Silver Lake back in the mid 60’s It was alot less crowded. I can remember the “locals” would not run on the weekends because there might be 25 or so buggies and it was just too busy.If you have a chance you should check it out. Really cool . We have an older 2 seat Berrian with a 2.0 Pinto. More fun than a barrel of humans!
