Hello, Almosters.

My story to fall in love with challenges in this drive: since morning, the 21st of September in the desert, an exhausting morning drive with newbies, excited to join this drive, especially led by @optimus , @alshamsi_m, @Rashidjass, @Daggerfall and @Mabubakr

It drove like a dream; joint members are the luckiest. And the most surprising thing was the two guest members @@paddy and @Hesham for an intermediate exam. I thought the level would go down, and since the very first dune, I felt nervous and shocked by the level of the drive.


Dune to dune, cresting, and switching in control because of myriad different problems right at the very top of the dunes.

I can only remember that main one challenge that made me proud and made the lead marshal and Optimus either shocked or angry of my capabilities of passing the challenge. Then thereafter, Rashid called me for second lead.

So, one-word advice would be to leave your heart at home and follow Rashid.

And he is great to follow after Mandi,

See you next time on the dunes.

Hello everyone

We had and very nice flow in the drive specially the middle part but it was a bit scary to see other cars in the same area because you don't want to land on someone while side cresting.

Although the drive was amazing, I had pull out to personal issues. Nevertheless, I was sure that @Rashidjass well keep giving them great fun till the sunset .

Till next time keep the sand flying

Cheers
Shamsi

For sure you are in the best club.

Whoever starts offloading, always dreams of doing the stuff our marshals only allow intermediates and above to perform.

It takes time and perseverance to reach that level.

I was given a chance to show our Marshals that I am ready for that level. Thank you so much Founder @alshamsi_m and Marshals @Rashidjass, @optimus, @Daggerfall and @Mabubaker for this challenging drive. I am grateful to be part of almost4x4 family.

See you all on sand soon.

As always... our Marshals exceeded our expectations. We surprised to know the drive was also an intermediate exam for @Hisham and @Paddy

It was safe and challenging drive, we experienced all techniques we learned so far..we were jumping from dune to another flawlessly. Crest after crest and we never got bored.. we were eager for more and more

Long story short, well done for new intermediats million thanks for @Rashidjass to organise a such memorable drive and million more thanks for all marshals who participated and were like mentors for us.


Looking forward to see you all in more challenging drives

Ahmad

Late, but better than nothing. Many thanks @Rashidjass @alshamsi_m for organizing the drive and allowing me to join. Was one of the drives i will always remember, as the first time following Marshal Rashid, and being adventurous and fun. We were just moving from one dune to the other flattening all crests. Managed to leave the drive smiling and much satisfied. Thanks all marshals and support team for the support and guidance. Look forward to join more IM drives in the future.
Regards
Hisham
