Kid Wheelie’s Dune Buggy
Ok. The first time I took a look at this I thought it was insane. Who in their right mind would let a kid take a high powered dune buggy and drive it flat out like a maniac? I mean, for God’s sake the guy has to put a couple of massive blocks of foam in the seat just so the kid can sit there!
But then again, when you watch what this kid can do with that dune buggy I suppose it might not be that crazy after all. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hop in and do this.

Haha – that looks positively insane. Thanks for sharing this video. It requires a certain amount of skill to make a wheelie on any four wheeler :-)
Hey Craig, I take it you know a lot about sand rail, I was wondering if you know anything about the vw rails? And if you do, could you tell me if someone can put a bus transmission on a closed axle rear end?
Wow… that looks / sounds like a lot of fun!
Hi, Im his dad. In all fairness, I trained him to do it for quite a while before we took this video. Still, its quite difficult, and I’m very proud of him. He was 10 years old when we took this video. The car has a 500 horsepower modifed Subaru WRX with large ball bearing turbo and intercooler.
Yeah this kid is awesome. We have a 6 year old doing donuts in our Hayabusa powered dune buggy. We will post a video soon!
Normally, something like this would upset me – I can’t stand it when my kids are on 4wheelers! But – adding in the seatbelt, the helmet, and the rollbar – makes me feel pretty darn good right now! Oddly, you posted this right after a friend in Illinois had a young neighbor (10yrs old) in a near-fatal accident on a stupid 4wheeler – so I couldn’t help thinking how much better off that boy would be now had he been in a dune buggy instead!
What parent wouldn’t let their boy do that? Besides with the roll bar and all the soft sand what can happen?
Yeah that’s pretty impressive. I’m pretty sure that I could not do that. But maybe the kid has some experience (he sure had the clothes for it).
