NOW THAT IS COOL...

The real cool part about the devils slide was the rocks, caves and tide pools on the south side of the beach. If you went in during low tide just make sure that you didnt get stuck on the other side when the tide came back in

This is an awesome thread! Let's see some more!

Oct. 1973 My first trip to the dunes in my uncle's covair rail. I was 3 years old.
2 kids in a seat with only a lap belt.

I agree, the good ol' days are history...to many closures! Just think what it will be like when our pics are posted as "past pics" I hope I am still going with my grandkids!
I will have to raid my step-dads albums...i'm sure he has a lot of great ones...stay tuned I hope...if i can find them

Wow everyone, those are some cool pictures. They really spark up some of the good ole days for me too. I grew up in south san diego and remember my uncles went to school with the McMillin boys, and would go to baja with them for 'pre-running' the baja. Unfortunately I dont have any pictures, my uncles might I will hit them up. Mind you this was in the mid to late 70's and early 80's.

I don't know what you wrote........But I love your avatar!

First pic. Oso Flaco 1965 and second 1975 . My Dad's rail he still takes it out from time to time.

Your dad has small feet

wow. I think I saw me and the old guy at GBS T day 1985! I'll pull out the old picture book. Those were the days!

heres some pics i found the other night at my moms.

the ones on the beach are at pismo aug 1981. the others were at a family freinds house in arroyo grande which you could see the dunes from their front door. we would ride from their house to the dunes when we got older.

Good stuff!
I wish I still had my old pics.
I loved the ol' days of Glamis.

I have only seen on motorcycle this whole thread.

I had one of those 3 wheeled contraptions myself. That picture brings back some old memories. I would stand with one foot on the ground and smash the throttle with the other one in a futile attempt to do a wheelie. This is the coolest thread. +100 points

still looking

but for me it was about 1972 or 73 when i was that age ....................


btw: on the throttle junkies video {the one before sand dreams} there is some awsome footage from the 70s it was clips from one of the guys at kartech pretty awsom.

I dug up some old school Dumont Pics.

I would say these are 1986/1987 time frame, the 250 R was brand new....didn't even have paddles for it yet.

So the first couple are me roosting the R, then I tried it with the X.....just didn't have the ooomph the throw a roost.

Back in the old days you could go across the highway from Dumont and go exploring the mines.

Just some real old Glamis relic.

Think they still got them Robbie?

Russ' dad is gonna see if he kept any of his old pics. He moved 1500 miles and pitched a bunch of stuff, but he knows he kept some somewhere. I gotta go through the pics we have of Russ' too. Keep em coming. It's cool to see how it used to be.

Looking at all these old pics reminds me of when i was a kid and it wsa always a blast knowingaround thanksgiving time....we were going to be at a place that my friends had always heard of but never been. I have to hit up my pops for our old family pics. Im soooo happy that my parents did these when they were kids and kept the tradition going with myself and my brother and sisters.

A film called "Sandblast" has a opening clip of 1970's Glamis also.

Maybe a repost? Thought Id post it anyway...

I want to see those too,my mom has hundreds of Old ones but lives in Utah so its a pain to get her to dig for them.

You know the 'baller' at that time was the guy with the movin' picture camera.

Graham Lord. I've ridden with him. He lived behind Boardmanville for a few months while he filmed, produced and edited the videos in a cab-over camper sitting on the ground, with a noisy generator running.

He wasn't that great of a rider. I had to lead.
