their is a descent place here in lakeland its a old phosphate pit that has been turned into fishen holes and mountain bike trails. ive taken my truck there a few times but have yet to find rocks its just dirt trails with roots. a few places the trail is no more than say 2 feet wide then its straight down to pretty deep water. kinda gets your heart pumping do think that your pride and joy could go for a swim with one glitch or one goof from you.

What about the banks of the creek at the Northwest side of the park, back behind the dog park? The banks are Limestone, some challenging grades. The creek bed is practically dried up because of the drought. There's some puddling in there since the last rain 2 days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpJNVyEuwEU

Both would be pretty cool. I don't have a trail rig yet, just fast RC's, but I'm always looking for cool places to drive them.

I'm really disappointed the we don't have a group of scalers or scale crawlers in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. I've been busting my butt trying to come up with some unique spots to crawl at. I've been moving rocks and mortaring them in place, drilling holes for flags, making paths with shovels, building bridges, etc. I would do more if there was some interest in this area. I even supply trucks for my friends to use that don't own one! What's a guy gotta do?
