Each year at Thanksgiving, while families around the country are sitting down to feast on turkey, a pilgrimage of another sort is taking place. Nearly 200,000 people descend upon the Glamis Dunes in California, ready for a multi-day whirlwind of off-road adventures.

This Thanksgiving, Flat Out Productions will be there to capture the action  for a future broadcast on Fox Sports 1 in the Spring of 2014 and also for developing a ground-breaking Extreme Racing video game App.

The dunes in Glamis are one of the most popular destinations for off-roading thrillseekers in the country. Just 2 hours from San Diego and 3.5 hours from L.A., the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA - more commonly referred to as Glamis) is a dune system that extends 40 miles and is, on average, 5 miles wide. Glamis attracts nearly 200,000 sand toy enthusiasts each Thanksgiving for a long weekend of extreme off-road riding, exploring, showing off their ride, camping and driving FLAT OUT!

Here's a preview:

Flat Out Productions will capture race footage, interviews around the races and the campgrounds, and extreme bloopers, to be edited down to a two hour special to be aired on Fox Sports 1 in the Spring of 2014.

The four competitions in particular will not only attract the avid ATV fans, but also grab the attention of car enthusasits around the world.  The Hill Climb, Bowl Ride, 100 Yard Sprint, and the 10-mile Cross Country competions will entertain all age groups from young to old.  Now add having the teams compete for charity, cash and bragging rights, this will definitely make for some interesting results.

We will be along for the ride for each event, capturing the thrill of the competions and the atmosphere of fun-loving adventure. Our show will culminate in a BBC Top Gear-esque leader board reveal of the teams' final times and standings from the four events -- the disappointment and the elation of the drivers.

Glamis Thanksgiving isn't all about the competion -- it's also about tradition, and togetherness, as demonstrated by our interviews around the campfires at night.

And, of course, it's about the amazing vehicles. Thousands of custom Sand Rails, Side by Sides and Quads fill the desert for this incredible weekend in November, and we intend to hunt down the best of them for our fascinating Show Us Your Ride segment. Some of the more customized Sand Rails can cost over $150,000 and have 1000 horsepower.

We will use material from our footage of Glamis racing to develop the Flat Out Glamis Extreme Racing App.   The app will bring to you the unique extreme  challenges that nearly 200,000 drivers experience each year at Glamis.

This innovative gaming app will bring the thrill of off-road racing to your gaming device. The first release will be the Flat Out Glamis Extreme Racing game, promoted in tandem with the television program.  The game will include top-quality graphics simulating the topography of the Glamis dunes.   Gamers can choose from four different races and three different vehicles and of course be able to customize their ride.

After our first game has launched, we will unveil successive versions featuring different popular off-roading locations, such as St. Anthony in Idaho and Sand Mountain in Utah.

ATV and other off-road vehicles have been growing in popularity for years, with fans ranging in age from 12 to 70+!  The dunes themselves see nearly 200,000 visitors on Thanksgiving weekend alone.  The Bureau of Land Management estimates 1.4 million visitors each year.

There is a huge audience for videos of Glamis activities, as exemplified by the many YouTube videos that often get hundreds of thousands of views.

We have assembled a production team with the skills and vision to create the world's first broadcast of the wild times at Glamis dunes.

Producer and co-founder Bobby Kortsen grew up with the Glamis dunes in his backyard, and a natural passion for off-road adventure. In addition to co-founding Flat Out Productions, Kortsen is Director of Youth Sports Foundation.

Director and co-founder Larry August is the award-winning commercial director of the "Pure Michigan" ad campaign. He has produced and directed many nationwide car commercials. In addition to co-founding Flat Out Productions, August owns Avalon Films in Detroit.

Larry Paglioni will manage all marketing efforts and advertising sales. He has developed several made-for-TV sports programs, including The Wendy's Three Tour Challenge and Michael Douglas and Friends.

Director of Photography Kevin Ward is the award-winning director of photography from the movie "From Dust to Glory" providing an inside look at the Baja 1000 race in Mexico.

Scott Schaffer is our Product Placement Specialist, known as a leader in the industry. He is the owner of Turn Key Productions in Hollywood.

In preparation for creating this exciting sneak peek into the wild world of dune racing, we have already made great strides.
