Hiking buddy John wrote up this interesting little post on films using the Angeles Forest.

I've never been to Charlton Flats, but seems popular for taping.

I wonder if anyone would use those Shoemaker Rd tunnels.

The list seems to me to understate the extent of filming in the ANF by a WIDE margin....

I'd be surprised if it touched on 10% of the actual filming

yeah i have no idea, I guess one could search every site specifically (i.e Switzer Falls). I did a quick search of Mount Baldy and that had a few on its own (Commando)

Two glaring ommissions from the linked IMDB list:

The original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. A lot of the outdoor scenes were filmed just above Sierra Madre.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (starring Humphrey Bogart). Lots of the outdoor scenes were filmed in the desert-exposed north side of the San Gabriels, and (of course) Vasquez Rocks.

As per a request, here be the thread for posting San Gabriel related YouTube videos.

Or, if you use Vimeo, you can go somewhere else. Take that crap to the San Gorgonio board. Just kidding, post it.

I guess I'll kick it off...

Shooting drills at Burro Canyon with some Marine buddies...

TR video from San Gorgonio area...

BTW, I think the whole URL pasty thingy for embed from YouTube has updated, so you don't need to cut out parts of it to make it work on this site.

Vimeo is superior, as you say.

Thanks for posting these! Love them!

I could watch that scrambled egg scene a million times over. I will never whine when I 'have to' make breakfast again... if someone can do this outside in the snow, what's my excuse

This tripped me out so much, I had to make a screen capture...

That is steep and deep! Never knew folks were attacking the bowl like that

Glad you enjoyed 'em.

Cy,
That's some outstanding quality on that filming. If I didn't know any better I would say it was done with Professional equipment.

Thanks for posting - looked like they were having a great time.

Really cool climbing vid. But what I like even better, is the scenery out there when they pan the camera. Absolutly beautiful.

Hey Taco in your Baldy Bowl video where and how did you mount your camera when you were glissading down the bowl?

kgw · Post by **kgw** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 9:26 am

Extra bar! Extra chain!

Incredible stuff. This guy is insane.

I have a female friend who does water ice speed climbs in Russia. She has sent me vids and I can't believe ow quick they can move with a couple fiffi hooks and and some kind of special crampons with front points and single heel point only.

thanks for sharing this.

The run down the valley at the end is amazing

Post by **Taco** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 6:55 pm

Friggin' sweet!

What the hell are all those goddamn noises? Siren = overspeed, right? THat other shit gets annoying... I thought flying a glider was supposed to be peaceful...

Tim · Post by **Tim** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:41 pm

Holy crap!! That made my day. Nice flying. Damn pansie hikers! Haha, they just wanted to buzz someone. What a waste, they were eye level with the hut!

I thought that too when I took my first glider ride. But nope, man there is a lot of wind noise.

I think the woo-woo noises is from the variometer. This instrument measures the rate of climb or descent and emits a sound that changes in pitch and rhythm accordingly. You can see and hear in the video how the sound changes to match the vertical speed indicator as the needle goes up and down. (the VSI is to the right of the airspeed indicator which has the green and yellow arcs). When the needle is at the 9:00 position, you're not climbing or diving. It goes up for climbing and down for diving. The siren is probably from the spoilers being deployed.

Thanks Tim, I figured you'd be able to tell me what's up.

I take it the variometer went nuts when their altitude remained the same, but the AGL # shrank drastically.
