Welcome Azraptoraz,

Sounds like you had a fun weekend duning. There are also supposed
to be some fun dunes around here in Colorado. I've just got to find
out exactly where they are and then get my trailier. I've had a
trailer on back order for several weeks now. Hopefully it shows up
some time soon!

Good to know about the new spindle design weakness. Sounds like
Yerf is heading in the right direction, but they need to keep
working on the spindle design. Be sure to contact Yerf Dog and let
them know what happened. Offer to send them some digital pictures
of the bent spindles so they can see first hand where they are
failing. I've already sent them a few different pictures on stuff
after talking with customer service to help them pass the info along
to those in Yerf Dog that can make things better.

If you have some, please post some pictures from your duning this
weekend. Also, could you also re-post your picture of the 3rd
spindle design here so we have it as reference? Thanks.

Edward
