American Sand Association

I joined ASA about 2 years ago, trying to get set up for retirement and a good conection to meet people to dune with. Im now retired and rebuilt my rail during the last 18 months and have been in the process of building a Mike Mazzone car that I purchased from him before he went out of business, an...

From what I can see now, he's a BLM employee. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpatterson2/ This place is a ghost town! Not just a BLM employee, but in Nevada now. Wonder how much his current managers know about his past in Arizona? And yes it is. Seems most people have moved on from here, we get a lot ...

Come join the ASA for the return of the Poker Run! Entries will be available for $20 a hand on Vendor Row near the Glamis Beach Store on November 5th from 9am-12pm. Proceeds will be used to help fund our efforts to keep the dunes open, and the grand prize is a Polaris generator!

I'll make sure to track 'em up! I'm heading out the 26th through the 1st....

Blast from the past! Hi Bob!

I don't recognize the frame. Maybe a home built one-off?

HI Yugo, welcome to the board. I moved your post to the Sand Rail Technical area, as it was the most appropriate location. Our traffic here is much reduced these days; you may want to post this on the ASA's Facebook page as well. If you need any help with the board, please feel free to let me know...

Hi Ron! I think most of the people who were most vocal here have drifted away, for whatever reason is unknown to me. Mostly all I do these days is delete spam...

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised at the CBD's stance...though I am glad to see it in print. Maybe more people will wake up to the destructive nature of the "environmentalists"...

Hi Nibs, and welcome to the board! Our traffic here has died down quite a bit, so you may not see a lot of responses. Another good place to post this question would be in the technical section of GlamisDunes.com. I'll try to give you my 2 cents, but keep in mind that I am a quad guy, although I did ...

There just isn't the traffic here anymore...but I did watch the video, and glad I wasn't on that course!

So I'm also a member of other forums, including ADVRider.com. I've been following the development of a new type of power distribution unit, using all solid state circuitry and remotely controllable via iOS and Android devices. This will be showing up on Kickstarter in the next few weeks, so I'm help...

Thanks Doc, thats quite the eye-opener. If anything, fees should be going down...

Interesting...what was the justification for eliminating season permits?

I think it's fine right here...

Haven't heard from Terry Weiner for a while...of course, the article fails to mention the Wilderness Area north of highway 78 that is open to all the hikers and birders that flock to the area...

I tested posting pics, and you should still be able to add them as attachments as part of the posting window (scroll down to Upload attachment). You are also still able to host them offsite (since the gallery has been removed, we no longer offer hosting on our server), and post them with the Img but...

Where did everybody go :?: Not too much activity on the ASA FB page either #-o I noticed the low activity too. I'm returning here after a 5+ year hiatus. Funny, I couldn't login with my original name and password but I could create same same name from before. Guess it has to do with the referances ...

A reasonable article, and consistent with my weekend. The word "dangerous" came up a bit too often for my taste. While it was busy, to me it was no more dangerous than the 405 at rush hour...

I wanted to wait to post anything about this, but today is the day. I wrote my three elected representatives in the state legislature when this was first posted. Surprisingly, I did receive a personal response from one representative. Due to multiple scheduling conflicts, I wasn't able to meet with ...

That's a helluva first post! Welcome to the board, and keep the stories coming!

Hi Cathy, Amazing what changes life throws at us, huh? This forum isn't anywhere near as active as it used to be, so you may not see a lot of responses. I'm part of R&R Duners these days; you're definitely welcome to join us, and during season, there are quite a few trips planned (we'll definitely b...

Very Cool!

Well put Kevin! I do believe that there is a certain level of fatigue that has lead to a slow down of traffic here. Still, it is available as a resource, and I don't foresee this board going away any time soon. What I would like to see is more, younger users, along with newly minted Duners, joining ...

GlamisSandDuner wrote:So I went to the new forum today and it is down and the old one is back up

Does this mean that the old forum site is back or is the new site just having technical issues

We've switched back to the old forum.

GlamisSandDuner wrote:I took the liberty of putting you guys on the calendar board, I am glad to see the old forum back up =D>

You and me both! I'll be heading out within the hour!

I'm heading out this weekend...will do a run down wash road to see how the condition is and report back...

We certainly don't get the traffic here that we used to. I'm assuming its everything from fatigue (this fight has been going on a long time!) to the rise of other forms of social media. That being said, I believe the ASA will keep the lights on here for as long as possible, and I plan on sticking ar...

Hi Juiced,

I can get those photos posted for you, shoot me a PM or email.

Camshaw, the ASA is currently analyzing the new law, and will update members once it is understood what the impact is. This BBS doesn't get the traffic it once did, but I did see a post on ASA's Facebook page in regards to this new law, so attention is being paid to what comes out of Sacramento. Con...

The SFGate article makes it look like the OHV fund was "stolen" from twice, once by the state raid on the coffers, and again by State Parks hiding over $30mil from the fund.

Yet another reason I don't miss living in California...

Welcome to the forum Jetmech. I would suggest posting pics, would be helpful to give you an idea of what people would pay for your Banshee. The forum has also gotten pretty quiet these days, so you might also want to check ASA's Facebook page.

Okay, it's time for the tow vehicles to show us how it's done. With 3 you get egg roll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnCIkPa50Lc&feature=relmfu I got stuck one time at Ocotillo Wells in my RV and it took a 4x4 Bronco, an F-250 Powerstroke and 6 people pushing. I'm sure if it wasn't for the 6 peop...

Welcome aboard Eric. Here on the board, we limit advertising to our business sponsors, other than an initial "heads up" post. Business sponsorship starts at just $50 a year, and helps us keep dune areas open.

Thanks!

also cant decide between mid engine or rear engine?? I've driven both, and I prefer the mid-engine configuration. You get better weight distribution, which translates to better handling. On my old mid-engine, I had no need for turning brakes, I could easily steer with the throttle. Now if you like ...

Welcome back Poiks...it's a lot slower on the board these days...

Thanks for the link on Danny boy, he just needs to go to jail...

All taken care of.

Oakley "Sand" Frames. I've been blasted full in the face wearing them, and no sand got in.

Impressive...no one took the camera for their own! I also liked the young female wildlife...very curious creatures

Tim,

Outfront in BP is not too far from Knott's Berry Farm, so there are quite a few motels and hotels in the area. Since it's their offseason, they should have lower rates.

I thought it was less crowded this year...to me, it felt more like a New Year's sized crowd.

Like all of us watching those commericials, my response was no f'in way :shock: Anyone hear of trick or computer generated photography? We have all been in the dunes stuck on the side of a hill much less a one ton truck. Its all bunk Watching the video, it looks like they buried plywood or somethin...

For the most part, I would expect the big crowds to start rolling in Wednesday, and peaking on Friday. I'll be heading out Thursday morning.

If the post is innocuous, I've been removing the signature. When it's obviously spam, I kill the account. I usually check the board in the morning, so the posts may be up for a bit.
