That's what I was wondering. It appears they didn't even know the apaches were there.

Deserts are tricky with sound.

Sometimes you can hear things from miles away, other times zip.

When in glamis dunes, the helicopters will attempt to maintain targeting on ATVs while the riders attempt to evade.

Nothing spookier than cresting a dune and finding a helicopter was hiding behind it.

I've tried on a built ltr500, every time you make it too difficult for the chopper, they simply gain altitude.

What's interesting is that this is kind of an understood arrangement between the riders and the military out there.
