Hey all. Took a few pics of the old girl this summer, its sad to see what she's become! I used to love riding the quad to the top of the dunes behind Echo, in the middle of the night, with a few cold beers, look at the stars and listen to the bands play all night. Man those were great old days!!!

Anyone have any old pics of the place? How about when it was a floating bar?? Yeah I know, that was way before digital cameras!!! :rolleyes:

Wow...some cool old pics there, thanks!

Used to love the wet t-shirt and macho man contest on Sunday afternoons, the same guy won that contest every time!!!

I remember watchin some steroid monger gettin boo'd off the stage, the poor guy was cryin he was so mad, i think i was cryin with laughter!!!

One day someone's gramma got up on the stage. She was so cool, she won the contest that day!!!!!!!!!!

Had some great times in that place...

Someone, I think my sister in law gave me a CD that was made from an early 8mm or Super 8 of Sundance from probably the early 80's or so. Have some great shots of boats of that era and also the wet T shirt contest they used to hold there. I'm not real computer literate but I have the CD and would love to post it or even mail it to someone that can. I think everyone that has spent time on the river would appreciate it.
You can contact me at [email protected] if you can help.

I got the DVD that Dick was talking about. There are two sections. I have posted the first on youtube. The second part is longer then an hour so I will have to do a bunch of editing when I get a chance! This section was under 3 mins. It is just the raw footage!

Ok, I was able to see some CF stickers and this Memorial Day DVD if from 1993 not the 80's. I have another slice to post but waiting from approval from RD as there is flashing going on. I can also post an ISO file as a torrent if others would like to download and burn the original. Like Dick said, its and hour and ten mins of flashing and might get old for some. The clip I will post is only a few minutes long. Let me know if anyone is interested in the ISO file. I can also host as a divx file at 600 mb!

Dailymotion - Best In The Desert Parker 425 Time Trials Feb 2009 - a Sports & Extreme video

I didn't think that truck racing video was very good....90% was from the same spot spot and the super slow-mo and annoying music gets old. The last minute was the best part.....

:thumbsdown

RD told me most on this site have already seen the video as he gave it away on this site years ago. Its also not family friendly so its a no go unless I figure out how to put black rectangles on all of the nudity!

Post a link if you can find someone to host so those of us that didn't get a chance to see it can. It sounds like it was a great video. Thanks.

We apparently all think alike. My wife and I always say when we win the lotto, the first thing we will do is buy Sundance and turn it into a Restaurant.
