Scouting New Spots

[rubiredunlmtd]

Did some scouting this wknd. found two more places to crawl.
got 2 more spots in mind towards hot springs,will be checking them soon.
i have lots of spots we can go, but accessability for those who dont have 4wd is a problem.
1.spillway in paron(my home)(dont laugh:flipoff:)
water was down, most of the time it is is
slate rock formations and hard sandstone type rock
good scaler area and next to state park so they have bathrooms and you can swim, something for the kids.

2. the cave! also in paron. just right off road hwy 9.
water was running,would be great in cooler weather lots of
bugs out right now.

see ya at the comp!

[rubiredunlmtd]

found 2 more possible spots today.

1. kanis park. at the back by the skateboard bowl.
if you got a buggy or truck you could get some air in these
skate pools!


2. boyle park. decent creek runs threw it,good sized rocks

You don't know how many times I have thought about taking a truck through that when I am out back. It looks great when the water is down.

might be headed towards hsprings @ my bday june 5th wknd."thumbsup"
to do some crawlin with the rc.
my clutch is going out on the rubicon!:x
there goes my comp build $

[rubiredunlmtd]

well went driving around sun morn and headed up towards my hometown of paron. and found alot of good crawlin spots just off the county roads.
up @ lake winonia and sylvia. as soon as all the bugs die off theyll be good to go.

also went to my "rockspot" and on the upper section(for those who have been there)me and my gf , filled gaps in the big rocks and made an awesome comp course,badass steep slopes, off camber climbs,8ft-15ft ledges to crawl @ and over! i was impressed with my cousins gc-1 ,i repo'd from him,till i fell off the ledge and broke the rear post off at the housing!
as before when the bugs die, this place is gonna be my next home!

Good work. I'm only about 70 miles from Hot Springs.

[rubiredunlmtd]

i might try to go and check it out this wknd.
weather permitin.

[RotaryRush]

That looks like it could be a decent spot. Looks like it's right beside a road though... Is it a high traffic road? Is their parking close by?

[rubiredunlmtd]

its at the top of west mountain.
if your down town hot springs, look up.
it has 3 look out spots,i believe its the very top one.
parking @10-15 cars.

i will be going to check it out, weather says @ 55-60 degrees.
this sat.
anyone wanna come with??

[constantmotion]

Been there tried that....Last October. It's not much too it....mostly too steep. It is at the very top of the mountain.

[m3kan1k]

its really not too steep ......my truck went all over it ...i had alot of fun jus playin alone n im sure it would be alot better with other people

[constantmotion]

It may work better with "today's" crawlers.....back then it was tough. My crawler is 200X better now.

[rubiredunlmtd]

ill for sure be going sat. maybe sun if rain get canceld.

[Shane_744]

Ok, Plans changed. I'll be up there. Where is the spot going to be?

[rubiredunlmtd]

top of west mtn. dwntwn hot springs.(dont know the names of
streets but i know how to get there)
you go by the horse drawn carriages,and turn across a center isle
and across other lane and up the mtn....at intersection take hard right uphill...go past lower look out....second....and top section ...the rocks
should be in middle..road makes a u.
its by the velda rose hotel.

[Shane_744]

Top of West Mountain, Hot Springs Arkansas.

Nice and windy, about 45 degrees.
Rocks were good. Lots of spines and verticals. oh and big drops if you weren't paying attention.

Josh and were crawling for about 2.5 hours.

I only took 3 pictures. Some rod-end failure.

[rubiredunlmtd]

yes it was a lil bit colder i think with the wind.
i got a sore throat out of it.
heres some pics i took, the ol dmg took a beating!
rock is a lil slick, but wheel speed is friend here.
would be a decent comp spot.
pickin the right line is key cause traction is limited.

[RotaryRush]

Wow! I'm really dig'n that spot. I want to try and go check it out sometime, maybe after it warms up some though.

[rubiredunlmtd]

Better Bring Your Wheel Speed!
Hammers M3 Suck.
Claws Did Ok,needed Stiffer Foam For Sidehill,
Carvers Did Great Needed More Wheelspeed,
Shanes Rovers Did Great The Extra Clearence
Let Him Take Some Lines I Couldnt.
Yes Let It Warm Up Im Still Sick!

[Shane_744]

I think more weight in the wheels, softer foams or shorter foams would be even better with the HB Rover's on that rock.
Probably would apply to any tires.

And it would help if the rocks weren't 35 degrees.

[rubiredunlmtd]

pinnacle mtn state park visitors center.
i drive by it everyday,but i havent been there since i was a teen.
so i thought wtf ill go check it out.
it has drive up parking,lil pond 4 pontoon boat paddle boats,
also great for rc boats! and around the lake would be great for scalers.
i was out there yesterday goofin around.

Went to the Waterfall spot I was telling some people about. Looks like this spot will be great. ranging from scale to 2.2-supers.
Here is the accent to the trail

This creek is located in NLR WOAH!
There is alot of other things that allow for scale on the trail other than waterfall. The partial footpath allows for some good crawling, and the ledges arent slick so its fairly easy to get up the trail. Its 1/4 mile from the parking lot. If someone would be interested in going to this spot sometime soon let me know.
