You push through a low dune ridge and the desert opens: a sea of wind-sculpted sand that seems to move with you. The quad hums, tires biting into warm grain; sunlight throws hard shadows across ripples that the wind keeps reshaping. Guides mark the route, but the dunes dare you to change line and feel the machine respond.
