Al,, This film was shot by Jim Freeman and I in the '60. Jeff Huston is the young blond guy being sandblasted. Jim was killed in a helicopter crash in 1976. I believe Jeff is still alive and still lives in Pismo Beach. Jim were on to be an excellent Imax film maker... This was the start of sand surfing, which was a natural for Jeff since he was an accomplished surfer.. I forget the name of the young blond girl in the film, but I remember her well.. :-) Thanks for sharing....m

Absolutely amazing flick Terry, well done 👍 The intro desolate scenes really pull at my heart strings as a sand dune lover. I have another page Huck Media where I make some dirt bike videos but nothing as artsy as this 🙏

SO cool, my grandfather is credited for inspiring Lynn Chenowth to build a full rollcage buggy back in the late 60's I believe. He hand built the full roll cage in his back yard after years of water pumpers at Glamis starting in the 50's. My mom wrecked her Bug so he took the front and back and made a proper tube chassis with roll cage and floor. Chenowth saw it and asked if he could copy the design. Grandpa didn't care and in 2000 when I took him to Gordon's Well for the first time in 30 years on Thanksgiving his only comment was...."Don't care about the money I didn't make...Look how many people are safer because of what I built." He also taught his nephew Don Hatz, how to make a durable VW racing engine which Hatz went on to be one of the winningest engine builders in Baja history. I wish I'd have gone to Pismo with my Grandfather at least once. He loved that place.

Dad use to take us to Pismo back in 1967--71 once a yr. It was a world of it's own. Seemed like you could get lost forever if you didn't watch it. I remember that great big hill that not everybody could make it up to the top. But dad sure did with the Bad-Ass dune-buggy he built himself. He built another one which was especially for Baja Calif. (Mexico) That's a different story. But Pismo, I do get lost there every time I think of being there. I found this video that you posted that I had been thinking about for all these yrs. i swear I had seen a couple of those buggies before. It was truly so very awesome to go there once again with your video. Forever... Thanks Fred Nimmo

This is so badass! I looked up to the "hippies" in sand-rails, ... even the fiberglass kit VW powered dune buggies were so fascinating here in the Midwest in the 70's. I was a kid and some older teens had those and it looked so fun... freedom.

the end of 2022 PISMO IS NOW FOREVER CLOSED I was in 5th grad last day of school watching this reel to reel movie and later in life I actually went there in the 80’s with some nice buggies my self… slowly they closed DEVILS SLIDE in back of S.L.O. then later Oso Flako then you couldn’t cross any rivers then fenced in part of the sand dunes to small section and competition hill was basically flatten by 2000’s. Yes those are dear memories with my friends I later loved in heart ( too much fun club) thx Bob

@@ajhoover7971 who’s they? Back in the 80’s the echo freaks where wanting to save the yellow butterfly the city was complaining about atv’s past the wooden ramp on to the street. We were in a city council meeting to discussing NOT closing the beach to traffic. Then the city started to charge fees per vechile in the early mid 80’s and progressiviely it got worse. It not really the people and their buggies on the dunes but the city environmentalists and sea life. It’s sad not to see kids playing like we used to.

@@henrycagle7827 Well I'm friends with guys in the friends of the Oceano dunes, who have been trying to save the dunes for years. Up here in Oregon, the Snowy plover bird is the reason dunes are getting closed. In Pismo I believe it's also a bird. And people complaining about noise and people having more fun than them. Bunch of BS.

Funny how an area that makes its money on tourism is making so many regulations that it is now killing the tourism industry here. It’s not just the dunes but now the event facilities. Want to have a wedding here,regulations and their costs have close to 40 event locations closing because of it. The idiots don’t realize the trickle down effect it will have with other businesses. These are the lib policies in action. They want you here, but just to watch and not actually be able to physically do anything. The more the county supervisors become Democrat, the more restrictions take place. The aging population sit in their houses watching scare porn on the news and believe the bs being fed to them. Then they go out and vote left, taking the rights of the younger generations away.

At 3:25 that might be Bob Forgnone's 428 Ford powered sand rail from Salinas CA. The local dune buggy club started going to Pismo when the Marina beach was closed to dune buggies.

Now that brings back some memories.

LOVE IT!! BUT I WONDER HOW MANY LEGS WERE BROKEN BY NOT HAVING A FLOOR PAN BACK THEN?
