An obvious huge honor for Pete to be part of Yamaha's legacy of sport quads. Mike I think you really should send some of your color renderings to the Yamaha marketing, they are always great looking and stunning to see done. Most of the color combos not many folks would think of that really work on the end product. Pops
I know this is a year old but the way you talk about your first impression of Winchester bay is exactly how I feel, I’m from wa state and each time I go down there I just feel something special, the air,the sights,the wind always blowing in your face for me it’s just unreal.
@pete hager I’m glad you got to enjoy my playground I’m Born and raised in Portland Oregon that is all I ride Is our sand dunes here in Oregon, Winchester Bay is one of my favorite places it is very beautiful and it’s largest sand dune in the USA, it’s about 40,000 acres. Where else can you get those views and that riding atmosphere through the woods and then ride Ocean side right next to the Pacific Ocean. If you ever get leisure time come to dune fest it happens every year @ Winchester bay, one of the biggest sand dune events in the USA. We also have coos bay and Florence sand dunes they are just as big and Beautiful as Winchester Bay. I love Oregon I’ll never live anywhere else. #SaveSportQuads
WOW!!! What an honor to be invited to a Yamaha press release. Pete there couldn't have been to a more deserving person that is an integral part on a mission to keep sport quads on the minds of the Powers that Be. Great video and huge Congratulations!! Pops
just got a 2020 its the first manual i have ever driven in my life an the more i ride it the more i fall in love with it. super user friendly every one whos ridden my raptor wants one. i enjoy watching you ride you definitely know how to make your videos super enjoyable to watch an your riding skill is on a different level.
Awsome video, good work... Finally, someone made it! I've always thought it would be cool for some of my favorite atv youtubers to come see the Oregons dunes for themselves. Seems they always make the trip to Glamis, but not here! To bad you didn't have the chance to meet any fans! Maybe next time.
I’ve watched SOOOOO many videos from this place but no one has shown the huge, vast size before! I thought it was just a small section of coastal strips!! Love it. I’m a Michigan native, SLSD 6-12 times a year with my Banshee. I think this might have put Washington state on my bucket list 😮 🤤 ❤
I have been waiting so long for one of you east coast guys to experience where we get to ride and have your mind blown. Winchester bay is only about 1 1/2 hour drive from my house. Even as someone who has ridden those dunes my whole life I still feel the way you did most the time. It’s truly an amazing place. Great video man👍🏻 come back and bring Sabo sometime.
Ok now I have to go there. I've never see such a beautiful mix of dunes and forest. I have amazing forests here in Tahoe but the nearest dunes (moonrocks or sand mountain) are 30 minutes away from the forest.
Yessir you need to experience it. I left the Minden / Tahoe area in 99’ and haven’t been back. Epic sand and mountains here in Oregon. I do miss some of the desert riding though.
I’m so jealous of this. We got nothing like this in Alaska. Makes me die a little inside seeing videos like this and knowing I’m stuck with trails we have 😢
I agree with the statement you made Pete. Yes, It is possible to ride the dunes with dirt tires. But, if you want the best experience, i 100% recommend sand tires or paddle tires as they're called. Awesome video can't believe you finally made it out to Oregon!!
Sick video man, what an amazing place to ride! I ordered a 2022 raptor about a month ago just waiting to pick it up. We can only get the blue 700r here in Canada.
This video makes me miss living there. Now living in Idaho I want to go out to St Anthony's. We usually go back to the Oregon coast so I can ride with all my coasties.
Love that place, my favorite dunes in oregon, that place is crazy how it can change from day to day, when it’s super busy there, the sand can get very rough and choppy
In my opinion it's the best dunes in the states cause it has a little bit of everything. There are 3 big dune riding areas over here, Florence, Winchester, and coos bay
That's an awesome video That place has been on my bucket list forever. If you want to go to a really cool dune location check out coral pink sand dunes in Kanab Utah. I just went there a couple weeks ago I have a couple videos uploaded on it. That place is awesome. Lots of elevation change lots of big hill climbs through these big tall pine trees and perimeter trails. You would absolutely love it!
YO!! on the intro before you came in to talk I was like that looks like where I ride... and then bam! Winchester bay OR. love that place. I'm up in the Seattle area but go down there dozens of times every year! that first hill is dubbed "Banshee hill" BTW massive bummer they didn't set you up with paddles
Pete, Winchester is awesome, been there numerous times. Come back and also explore Coos Bay dunes and Florence dunes! They're simply awesome!!! Make sure you do a show on it as well!! Z
Hopefully someday you can do a meetup out here in Oregon! I was just there last weekend for raptor rally. I wish we had sunshine that weekend haha. Glad you finally got to experience our awesome dunes. Each place in Oregon to ride the dunes is completely different.
So awesome. I started watching last week but had to save for later and forgot about it. What a great treat to discover it again. Such awesome footage, excellent video
Happened to see this and recognized every trail/area being from WB myself lol. Don't miss the weather but miss the awesome rides, bay crab & chinook. Good time always. Btw I raced pro quad through the 90's so enjoyed the video!
One of your best videos by far. That dustin kid can ride a wheeler, Holy shit! Couldn't imagine him on his own machine that hes used to. What a rider wow. A few nice wheelies outta you too Pete.
Man that place looks crazy! I like that type of technical riding! I hope to ride with you again. Riding with at spider lake was one of my favorite experiences
I'm late to the game but I completely agree with picking the raptor. They are really just a great all around sport quad. Tons of torque throughout all gears(Unless you are Sabo and have a blown transmission) lol just poking fun that was shitty after all the work he did but it happens.
Finally someone I watch in my back yard. Trying to get you and speed square to be in my home towns. Let’s goo. Wish I had Instagram back and hook up with you guys. Local oregon boy
Great video brother! Them raptors is one of the most dominant sport quads I love mine for sure. But I gotta say man it’s awesome Yamaha invited you out I’d love to do that, keep up the awesome videos man I really enjoyed this one!
This location didn’t have any beach riding unfortunately. I think some of the dunes further south allow it! The lower perimeter was flooded out unfortunately but it was still awesome riding everywhere else!
Pete, this is a great video! I've always been a fan of Yamaha. I've been following your videos for years. The combination of Yamaha and Hager and your videography skills and this location make this an epic video. Thanks, and looking forward to the next one!
Amazing riding, awesome videography, and chases! Absolutely love the way you do videos and encourages me to get back out there to ride and hopefully soon! Maybe one day I’ll be able to visit Oregon Dunes! They look amazing and completely different than Glamis, so definitely a bucket list trip! Have a good one Pete! Ride on!!
Yo Pete, so pumped you finally got out to experience the dunes in Oregon. Great job showing beauty and fun of the sand in Winchester. Bummed I was there a few days before you were and you were a week before the annual Raptor Rally at Winchester. Hopefully you can make your way out again. Keep the good stuff coming.
Absolutely great video Pete, I took the family out there last year and wanted to take my raptor so bad but ended up not. After seeing the video im really kicking myself to get out there again!
Awesome video. Proud to say I ride there a lot! I can only imagine how it would have been if you had paddles on the back of your bike. They make a big difference when it comes to traction and control. Looked like fun regardless. 🤘🏼
I live at hour from Winchester bay. I ride a old school 1999 polaris sport 400. It goes everywhere at Winchester bay..if you get the chance ride Florence Oregon dunes.
Hey man I wanna be just like you when I grow up I look forward everything that you do and post I’m hoping to have a RUclips career I’m also getting a GoPro so I can also record all my things and post them on RUclips I love your content and keep up the good work😃😃
I bought the hi viz yellow and black raptor a couple weeks ago. Still haven't used the dealership gas. I was told it's a 21 but keep seeing them called 22's. I don't know what to think. 😆
Congrats on the new Raptor! Sounds like you need to put some seat time on it if your still on the first tank! 😅 the high vis yellow and dark blue was the combo for 21. The 22’s are high vis and black! 👌🤘
thats a sick experience! you got to ride with some of the best riders out there on some fresh machines! Still waiting on Honda to make a true successor to the 450r if they ever jump back into full size sport atvs
Nobbies are totally fine most of the time. From a dead stop they take longer to get the machine up and going but once you’re moving there isn’t much of a difference unless your strictly hillcimbing/drag racing 👌
I cant believe you were over here and didn't say anything. I know it was for 1 day but I would have drove the 4hrs just to ride with you. Hope you enjoyed our oasis that we call windy bay our favorite dunes to ride. I could have given you a tour, you have to come back and ride with me and my family. Let us know when you want to come back. Btw you missed out at raptor rally 2022.
Awesome and professional shots man! You always have the best aerials and transitions. This looks like it was an awesome event!
It was epic to be a part of! It was so cool to get a bunch of high quality footage from their media guys 😬🤘

If it wasn’t for Yamaha we would all have to beg Mike to build us a sport quad so we could ride!

Winchester bay is amazing I'm so glad I in Oregon we have been blessed with wonderful dunes..
Why can't Honda be a part of this. Come on Honda, join the party help the sport please
I agree! It’s pretty lame that Honda isn’t in the mix!
WOW!!! What an honor to be invited to a Yamaha press release. Pete there couldn't have been to a more deserving person that is an integral part on a mission to keep sport quads on the minds of the Powers that Be. Great video and huge Congratulations!!
Pops
Thank you very much 😬🤘
Thats good news bro. Yamaha keep um coming
OMG! I would love to be invited to ride with Yamaha!!! I agree Raptor 700R! 💪🏻
Drove over 6 hours to get my 2022 and I don’t regret it one bit. Great machine
What did you decide on
im a subcriber and winchester is my home playground. Glad you had a chance to ride it.
just got a 2020 its the first manual i have ever driven in my life an the more i ride it the more i fall in love with it. super user friendly every one whos ridden my raptor wants one.
i enjoy watching you ride you definitely know how to make your videos super enjoyable to watch an your riding skill is on a different level.
They couldn't chose a better rider to test out 2022's. Yamaha did it again with 2 great sport quads. Thank you Yamaha !! Keep em coming every year!
Thanks man! I’m super glad they’re gonna continue supporting our sport! 😁🤘
I love your videos man great content, it’s really making me want to fulfill my childhood dream and go get me a YFZ450
You are living the atv dream Pete, don’t take it for granted man, not for a half a millisecond
I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities I’ve had creating content for my channel! Thank you! 😁

It’s so cool seeing all these places in my home state! I was just planning on going out to Winchester too
Great video Pete. Had a blast ripping with you!
Thanks Cody! It was a trip for the memory books for sure! You're an awesome rider, it was great to get you on camera rippin! 😬🤘
Thats an awesome experience for ya Pete! Glad you got to go. I guess we are super lucky to still have them available as new. Thankyou Yamaha!
Thanks man! I appreciate you being such a long time supporter! 😁🤘

I live 15 minutes from Winchester and coos bay dunes so I can totally relate to how you feel I’ve been around these dunes my whole life.
@@Striderexe any atv/dirtbike rentals in the area? Looks like a great place for a vacation.
@@connor3288 yeah there is a bunch but they cost an arm and a leg to rent anything.
@@Striderexe Guess im not going anytime soon🙃. Im in MA, long way to drive and trailer it...
I'm on the west cost to. Winchester is an hour drive from my house. Florence is a little over an hour
I thought I saw you in the airport as you were leaving the event!
Congrats for the Yamaha line up invite from the factory (BIG DEAL!) and for making one of your best video on one of the best riding place!
absolutely sick video man! I have to make it there atleast once in my life! got alittle sketchy in the whoops on the raptor 😅😅
Ok now I have to go there. I've never see such a beautiful mix of dunes and forest. I have amazing forests here in Tahoe but the nearest dunes (moonrocks or sand mountain) are 30 minutes away from the forest.

Don't sleep on the Tahoe trails 🔥
If only Honda still made big sport quads. Sad there is no competition for Yamaha anymore.
I agree.. it would be so awesome if other manufacturers jumped back into the mix
Hope next year if the rumors are true honda comes out with a new 450
@@kylebeach2316 what?
I’m so jealous of this. We got nothing like this in Alaska. Makes me die a little inside seeing videos like this and knowing I’m stuck with trails we have 😢

Yeahhh! Way to go Pete! What an honor to ride with Yamaha, looks like a great time. And this video is one of your best ones yet 👏👏
I really want to get my hands on one of the 2022 yfz450r se’s. Look amazing and miss this sport so much
Hell yeah man! I love living in the PNW!
Sick video man, what an amazing place to ride! I ordered a 2022 raptor about a month ago just waiting to pick it up. We can only get the blue 700r here in Canada.
Great to see you out riding Windy Bay Pete! Looks like it was a good time and missed the rain. Come back soon.
This video makes me miss living there. Now living in Idaho I want to go out to St Anthony's. We usually go back to the Oregon coast so I can ride with all my coasties.
so cool you got to ride with a professional atv rider during this adventure
I'm glad you finally made it out this way to ride, Winchester Bay is an awesome place!
Thanks for sharing your video.
Love that place, my favorite dunes in oregon, that place is crazy how it can change from day to day, when it’s super busy there, the sand can get very rough and choppy
I have that exact 450 and I love it.

I live an hour from the dunes. I have rode all the trails in this video. On a 1999 polaris sport 400L. Florance sand dunes are fun to.
@@brandoncounts711 I like Winchester bay the best. If I left right now. I could be at the dunes in 1 hr
I live here and its sick
I bet it doesn’t get any better than that. I want to ride there with the Yamaha guys !!!
Awesome video as always! Amazing machines riding amazing terrain! My absolute favorite place to ride!
I live In Oregon and Winchester Bay and Horsefall are two of the best places to ride.
Had to swing thru and smash the like button and leave a comment cuz I know the video is fire in advance!💪
As a Pete Hager fan I love to see him riding around in the raptor that I have ( same decals )
That's an awesome video That place has been on my bucket list forever.

Awesome video as always pete. I live in Australia and ride a similar looking place to Oregon dunes, those trails looked like the best of fun.
