I remember being a wee-little-one and watching countless fails on that hill. I remember only seeing one person on a dirt bike make it to the top.
I saw a guy in a black cj5 at summer convention attack that hill one year. Dude was a drag guy as I recall, but we herd some one on the hill and walked over to check it out. took him a bunch of diffrent lines but when he got it from about 3/4 of the way up he launched. The last 5 feet or so are vertical rock face, he blasted off the top and cleared 30' or so of flat at the top. It was pretty impressive.
Anyhow itd be really cool to see the orv become what alot of us hoped it would, a place that we can ALL have fun instead of just another MX park.

cool story...your right..it has became mostly a dirt bike track..i really dont care for all the theatrics in the dirt bike world...its like wwf or something now.and we are loosing our trails and land to play on..there is alot of wheelers in this state..we need to have a place to show the public our sport isnt a bad thing..i remember seeing the park on i think discovery or speed maybe back in the day..jeep races.when we are out in the woods nobody sees us picking up garbege ...we need a super offroad park..for all types.it would be neet.i love that place..im excited to come back..if it had new trails id talk my club in to heading down for fun...maybe helping out to:awesomework::cheer:

there never was a road to the hill climb, it is right inside the park. Soon as u go thru the gates keep to ur left and follow the fence around to the backside, if I remember right they built a little track of sorts right in fron t of the bottom of the hill, when u look at these days it is all grown up, but u look hard and u can see it......it would be a narly hill in a truck......
As far as the park goes, I think that they need to take more off the Top Truck Challenge style of course..... that would be plain cool if we had one in our backyard......plus a ton of people will come to watch that........Right in front of the grandstands the should dig out a "hill and hole".......Then build a huge rock garden and obstacle course were they use to hold the tuff truck course at......that way we could possibly hold a we rock there if the course was good enough......Then use the trails in the back for more of the TTC course stuff, probably take 20-30 acres to pull it off, but MAN I THINK IT WOULD BE A MONEY MAKER.......

Im down, the only bad thing about building all that in front of the grandstands is that it has to come out when another event comes in.
We (the 4x4 crew) have been given the area behind the mx track to do what ever we want and leave it. there is a good spot for a small hill n hole and a grassy area past that to do a frame twister. alot of clearing and grubbing to make it happen tho. any support will let upper management know that we mean buisness. olywa: you need to come see me somtime this week if you live so close and gimme some ideas!

oh I was under the impression that it would be like it was last few times they had something out there, I didn't even think about anything else being there....:redneck:
Out back would actually be better for what we would want to happen anyways.... I would love to come down and take a walk around the place and throw out some ideas for a 4x4 area...:redneck:
I sent u a pm on meeting this week.....

I was behind that guy at the hammers on backdoor and he ripped the rear axle truss/link mount loose from the rearend on that rig. He got luckey and it didnt come of and let the axle roll, it just peeled up and moved a bit but stayed on good enough to limp on its own.
Didnt know it was a local rig.
