If I remember correctly there is not much if any run out at the bottom of this cliff.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the run out, and more concerned with just getting down the hill on bike. The two years I've been there it is very enticing and I'd love to ride it but:

1) I'm usually so darn tired by this point, I can't conceive of having to come back up the sand dune.

2) A viable exit strategy that allows one to ride out along the river bank to an easy exit.

3) I pay my own health insurance.

That said if someone else does it successfully I'll do it.

I don't think you will gain a high rate of speed on the decent due to the depth of sand and you will be on the brakes the whole way down.

Ryan don't worry about getting out. If you do it I'll carry your bike back up.

But if you get hurt real bad someone else can carry you and I get the bike.

Deal?

How about if I do it, you do it, and I get to keep the prize money for winning America's Funniest Video of you cartwheeling down the hillside.
