RDP & CLA to Acquire GlamisDunes.com

[2Driver]

Congrats and let me be the first to say GDSUX

 

[NIKAL]

lol yes you!

Oh Great!

Clearly I made a mark over there.

 

[Socalx09]

I've been a part of both GD and RDP for many moons now, and I'm stoked about Dave's plans for GD. It should be a great comeback.

Wanna know what interesting to me though?

This thread seems to be focused on the he said, she said, bullshit. A lot of complaining about the past.

The intro thread on GD is all about the positive looking forward aspects of what's to come!

So check yourself bitches!

The future is so bright, I gotta get me some new shades!

@Devious_Chris

We go to the sunglass shop every April and get about 3-4 sunglasses. It’s a pretty cool shop. The lady that works in there is super nice and we chat with her for a bit. I never break my sunglasses…

Robert proceeds to break the floatable dragons yearly. I believe it’s @Devious_Chris who puts in different lenses since Robert is particular about sunglasses. Well… he broke both sets this summer again. I probably need to call the shop to order him a new set before our next trip.

Anyways… I know this is about the Glamis forums, but I had to give a shout out to the shop. We did get the knucklez googles from there and they work great with switching out lenses easily for the dunes! Afternoon rides always turn into night rides…

Congrats @RiverDave and @Devious_Chris. Robert was a member and is excited. I have never been on the site.

Who gets the Glamisdunes.com Facebook page??

 

[rivermobster]

Who gets the Glamisdunes.com Facebook page??

I'm pretty sure Randy owns the Instagram page. So maybe
he owns the Facebook page as well?

Lots of things to be sorted out. RD is gonna be Very busy for awhile!

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Congrats guys!

I think he does a good job running it. The regular glamis page was great at first atleast when Tim did most of it. Seems last two years if you criticize certain people or business you get the boot.

Do we PM 460 for our free Glamis Dunes swag?

 

[Hammer]

Is LOF banned yet?

Hes Chief Moderator.

 

[Bails]

Dave congratulations and good luck.

Is your GD screen name going to be Duner Dave?

 

[Ace in the Hole]

and apparently I gotta have a talk with the mod squad over there because they just banned a guy for saying the word good.. (no shit)

RD

That kind of shit ruins good forums then they die… just like pirate4x4 post lance…

Always beware of enemies you think aren’t in business…not all of them may be on your side…

 

[DWRAT]

Congrats Dave, you are a class act.

The moderators over there are extremely genuine people that have an incredible bond with the site and the community. I am looking forward to working with them, and getting to know them personally.

I guess that guy that got clipped there's a bit of history there that I don't know about.. The mod guy just had about enough of him being a prick.. Either way it's sorted and we are onto bigger and better things.

[Kraut_n_Rice]

Will 460 be handling GD swag now too?

GD has swag?... LOL

Just don’t ever bring Mac on as a moderator……………..that was the funniest two week shit show ever!

 

[Sandlord]

Dave and Chris,
Glad to see you take over, and probably save the site.
Change will probably be good. Its evident by the reemergence of Old Timers since the announcement was made.
We want to see it made great again.
Like RDP, it was like a family for a long time. Something changed that.
Thank you for seeing the potential.

Interscope or whatever the hell it was called jacked up a lot of good forums.

I know. Him and the CheFF Of The World are both on vacation, at the same time!

Let the rumors begin...

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Have you thought about trying a new prop over there?

 

[wash11]

GD has swag?... LOL

Kraut, that's a name I haven't seen forever! Welcome to RDP!

 

[RiverDave]

Interscope or whatever the hell it was called jacked up a lot of good forums.

Vertical Scope.. they tried to buy rdp a couple of times.

 

[HozayKwarvo]

Good thing I have the same screenname over there. LOL . I wasn't even sure I was a member.


RD- You better start liking Glamis if you intend to help make it GREAT AGAIN.

I agree with ASA getting involved with the site, I'd also reach out to the Clean Dune Project People. They have a FB page.

Same name here as well.

There is no other organization that has done more for the ISDRA than the ASA. Sounds like Chris is meeting with Dave who will get'm squared away

As far as The Clean Dune Project, I'm one of the 5 on the BoD for that new non-profit and can answer any questions you have from here or GD. TCDP is about the cleanups and responsible recreation. We also picked up the execution of the Annual MLK Cleanup (27th year coming up). Lots of positive stuff coming from that grass roots movement.

As far as the acquisition of the GD board, I'm stoked. Long time member and it feels like I'm about to finally witness the restoration of that old HemiCuda that's been sitting in the barn for a while...

Nick farmer sent me the sponsorship deal for the bags.. GD.com wants to do one. Rdp will do one for sure and I’m sure my wife will probably want to do one for team rdp as well.

 

[HozayKwarvo]

Won't brag, but I have been around since the earliest of days, never a moderator, only a member. Many of my family friends came from gd.com. I live in glamis during the season, so it was always a good back-drop. Has it declined, well yes it has, but I'm certain that RDP will bring that spice back!

Congrats, looking forward to some fresh blood.

You been around way longer than this pic and it was in '06

 

[HozayKwarvo]

Nick farmer sent me the sponsorship deal for the bags.. GD.com wants to do one. Rdp will do one for sure and I’m sure my wife will probably want to do one for team rdp as well.

Perfect! TCDP is Nick, John Paruleski, Cameron Murray, Bryan Myers, and myself. Those bags work great on the water too We formed out of the desire to have a no BS non-profit that is IN the dunes supporting the dunes with 100% going back into the dunes instead of what had been going on.
Some events throughout the season, not the least of which will be the 27th Annual MLK cleanup. Last year when we took over Genesis Supreme was a title sponsor and plenty of room for more partnerships!

 

[Nosocks]

Lotsa familiar faces there. Too bad I got fat and you didn't recognize me anymore at the SSSS

Former power user of GD... Haven't used it much in more than a decade due to life changes.

More boat oriented now but still getting 5-10 Glamis trips a year in.

Going to chock it up to me having a terrible memory and not on my game instead of you being fat

My dad, who is getting old, still asks every year when Glamis season rolls around "Hey what happened to that Hozay Kwarvo guy that got our rhino out of those bowls behind China? You see him out there?"

This was from a ride out of the @Sandlord 's compound in 2006.

AWESOME! Be sure to tell pops hi and that I'm still out there doing it! and that you'll see me out there this year ...November 9th (hint/cough)

That will be my first trip this season, most likely.

 

[HTTP404]

Like a blast from the past up in here.
All I know is the @HTTP404 over on gd.com is a fucking asshole.

@HozayKwarvo can you send me some information on the TCDP as I’d like to get involved as a sponsor or some kind of capacity if I can.

I have So many pics on my computer from the old days! I came across these, and thought I should post them.

This was from the GNC EPO in 09. For anyone that doesn't know what EPO stands for. Riders in Black, staff members in green.

 

[Ladsm]

Bring back the EPO races

The EPO's were a LOT of work, behind the scenes, that most people never saw.

We would get out there on Monday, and Rob would start scouting for a location on Tuesday morning. (The dunes are Always changing)

Once that was done, the next day, the cones and equipment went out and were set in place for the race. Lots of manpower was involved!

The day of the race, staff was up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready for the drivers meeting and the ride out to the race location.

Game on!

And Then the awards ceremony and bbq after the race. It all takes a massive amount of planning!

Not to mention getting all the staff and EPO T-shirts. And everything else involved, all planned MONTHS in advance.

It was a labor of love for Rob, and all the EPO staff.

Glad you made it out and hope to see ya this year! You can tell that we've outgrown a simple audio setup and even had ~10 2000watt powered PAs a couple years ago that didn't put a dent into it. Now, in addition to the PAs we drag out we have a 110watt radio with a 22ft antenna that broadcasts the entire thing on the race radios... usually BFGRelay. We'll be hitting Calexico border crossing and Osborne from that valley during the ceremony so everyone can hear what's happening, even if you didn't get into the first 1/10th of a mile from the pole. We'll be livestreaming a single camera broadcast during the event and the loading up a full 5+ camera and drone production as soon as it's over for everyone to view

A far cry from the old days when it was just a handful of people out there.

Just wow Brian. Just wow.
