Sand Addiction the Movie is a new film from the creators of Sand Addiction

Magazine—Platinum Global Productions. This group is all about the new-school duner. You’ll never see a mediocre sandcar, bike, or quad in their magazines; so don’t expect anything less in this film. It’s all about the long travel, big powered, “blinged” out cars, quads, and lifestyle. If this is your thing, then you’re going to love this film.

This hi-impact sand film features high-end sandcars, quads, and trophy trucks at the dunes. It does all this while doing a road trip to five of the hottest dune spots in the U.S. You’ll get to see Pimso, CA where a Jeep dragster and Extreme Performance sandcar strut their stuff. Winchester Bay, OR and its fast and technical dunes. From there you’ll head up to St. Anthony’s, ID where the duning is done in the spring and summer. If you go during in the winter, you might have to leave the sand toys on the trailer and opt for a snowmobile.

The boys from Platinum Global Productions even make their way out to Little Sahara, Utah. There they show us some funny 3-wheeler action as one of them races a little Honda 70 ATC up a dune—he only made it about a quarter of the way up before having to push it. This was not only funny, but also brought back some memories of when I was a kid—the Honda 70 ATC was my first.

In addition to visiting the sand dunes, the producers make their way out to the Baja 500 race. They touch on some of the important correlations between desert racing and duning—both have become very specialized and high-dollar sports. They take a very mystical approach in capturing the spirit and fury of the Baja 500. In connection, they also hi-light some of the racing that took place at the 2005 Sandcar Challenge in San Bernardino, CA. Much of the same technology being used in Off-Road Racing is being utilized in Sand Sports.

The film closes with Glamis, CA. Being Platinum Production’s backyard, you see a lot more action. Some of the cars they feature at Glamis are DeJoung’s Monster Manx, Funco, RFR, CARR ONE, and Buckshot. They show these cars in action doing big air jumps off the dunes, wheeling down the sand drags, and kicking up sand with big powered drive trains.

This film takes a great approach to any duner’s dream road trip. Who wouldn’t want to take a few weeks off of work and cruise around the country visiting some of the greatest dunes the U.S. has to offer? Better yet, who wouldn’t want to be able to dune five of the hottest sand dunes around the country and live to tell about it? Well if this sounds like something you might be up to, maybe you’d better check out Sand Addiction The Movie.

Overall, I think this film is very well put together. The variation of sand toys is good, but it is much more concentrated on sandcars. There is no nudity, bad humor, or profanity—so the whole family can sit back and enjoy this film as they dream together of when they will also make this dune journey all of us need to do at least once in our lifetime.

This is one of the best sand films released at the end of 2005. I would recommend it to any Sand Sports enthusiast, especially those who have a sense of adventure. For more information on Sand Addiction the Movie visit www.sandaddiction.com
