Fun through Discipline and Structure

Share with your friends!

The first thing that draw me to Dessert Fellas was the small amount of spots available for the Initio drives.

I’ve been watching the space for months not wanting to miss out on a spot and I’m very happy I managed to register.

Why was I exited about the small numbers? Well the groups I usually drive with have huge numbers of drivers in the convoys, they are always unorganized, never setting off on time, very little safety instruction except for “don’t fight gravity” etc.

I have seen a lot of dangerous driving from people who have no idea how to handle their car and is placed into a position to do something they are not comfortable with and in one instance saw a rollover that was completely unnecessary. And then you have the people with a little bit more experience getting bored and showboating, changing the line, so by the time the back of the convoys comes along the line is a disaster.

I am so happy that the Dessert Fellas addressed all these concerns with safety and learning being top priories. In ONE drive I saw advice given on how to properly use your gearbox, how not to panic when you get stuck, proper recovery with explanation of how and why its done in that manner, how to reset and build momentum to clear a obstacle, strict radio communication guidelines and strict enforcement of keeping the leaders line.

I was so happy to see the leaders and support team so engaged in the drive.

Very much excited to become involved in this club and grow as a driver!

Thanks again for everything and thank you to the photographers for the great pics of the days events.

  2. Could not agree more Johan. One thing you forgot… its great to be meeting and doing this with people who are looking for these very elements of safety and discipline when driving the dunes.

    Welcome on board buddy, discipline is one of many things that set this group apart. You will have fun and be pushed to progress but one day at a time, your safety and everyone’s is the first priority.

    We also don’t drive with ego, desert is bigger than all of our egos, so we enjoy it but with respect to its rules. See you soon

  5. Welcome onboard buddy. It’s pleasing to read about your observations considering that you have been with DF only once. Means we are at the right place!
    Keep it up, it only gets better from here. Catch you on the sand soon.
