Re: 1970 Pismo Sand Dune Movie - Catch The Joy
The scenes of Pismo bring back the joys of sand duning I remember. The freedom of our sport that I fell in love with and continue to search for today. Pismo is much different today than in the 70s when this was made. I started duning in 1968 when about 25% of the buggies were water pumpers. VWs were...

Re: ISDRA Photo takes grand prize in Palm Springs
I do not think Frisman was intending to show OHVs in a positive way. I think the purpose of the collage is to show how destructive he thinks we are.Frishman said it’s one of the last places left where OHV enthusiasts can run roughshod over the land.
But, I like it despite his agenda.
