Where did you guys camp on the flats behind the store? I was going there when the old store across the street was the only place there and small private planes used to land over there. there is also a swimming pool over there. One of my favorite rides was at 2 am we would go from the bowl to the railroad tracks I think that would be due East. there is an underpass a gully under the rr tracks we took off our buggy whip antenna and went over to Boardmanville straight thru the back dunes. 16 buggys in single file. Have you ever been to Azusa Canyon?
I really like all your videos, I remember rolling down that hill sideways in a buggy. I remember sitting in my buggy at the top of that hill thanksgiving night at 12am watching all the people some year in the 80s I remember a ford courier with a 427 and dick cepeck paddles, another guy had a polished aluminum tube frame with a 6 cyl porsha and nitrous oxide. another had the same frame with a ford 428 on a pantera transaxle. The guy who owned the pizza parlor had a aluminum block v6 with twin turbos in his buggy. The friend I went with did all the welding for the pizza parlor. Have you water skied on the canal yet or been to the bowl?
this is what happens when your going 65 mph down a dune in wheelie mode
and break a heim joint the size of your fist, BAM, 100 k rail reduced to rubble.
4 people and nobody hurt, landed upside-down and the fire from an oil spill was quickly put out.
Wow does that bring back memories I can remember climbing that hill 25 years ago on my 3 wheeler doing about 70mph at the top
turning the throttle wide open after the washboard the front tire mostly a foot off the ground and sand shooting back 75 feet. Back when I had a hair line a waist line and some muscles.
