There was a guy over on scale4x4 that had one of the coolest courses I've seen but all of his pictures are down. Really wish I would have saved them.

Couldn't even tell he had a scale course, blended in perfect with the landscaping

It's an amazing spot. I normally wouldn't have put this video in the scale trail section, but much of the terrain there seems as if it was made for scale crawlers. Next time we go I'll get better footage of several of the lines we ran up and down some rock outcrops. Really great stuff.

Just started on mine. Suppose to be a group effort but I've been out there solo. I need to get some rock somehow. Live close to the beach and there just ain't much stone to be found. Anyway heres some pics




And I had to do some testing



I'll update as it progresses. Thanks for looking.

Styrene will fix anything.

Thats in Chesapeake Va. Your absolutely right, there is much potential here. Just trying to get out there is tough working long hours and having to keep up with my fatherly duties. Im thinking about going to a rock quarry and buying a load of stones because there is none to be found anywhere. Thanks for the motivation my friend.

Ok everyone. Looking for ideas. Rebuilding the backyard trail at the "parental unit's" house this spring. She's open to nearly anything. There is a feature about 5x5 and 3.5 feet tall in the back corner of the yard that we bridged onto and off of last year. This year can't decide to make a rubicon style rock climb hill up and off or fire-road switchback style rocky trail up and off. Thoughts?

Awwww come on folks, my ADD needs help deciding....lol. I'm looking to make the whole trail more rubicon-ish if that helps any? I've got the water crossing down (bridge over pond and waterfall) and I'll have some channel/crevasse style trail sections...just really stuck on this one area.....yes build pics as it goes. I'll post up some before, during AND after stuff.

And this section is DONE! Turned out super great. Not an easy one shot drive straight up or down, but it's doable. Two separate vids show the up and down. Once I get some of the rocks adhesived down, this whole thing can be driven backwards as well.

Here's what we have so far. It is, as are most, a work in progress.

Inspired by Wolf Creek.

DUBS, It's actually a tunnel...15" plastic culvert. The outlet is the wooden bridge in the third pic from the top. It's kinda neat to drive thru. Ya kinda just line it up, and guess...

Work in progress, but this is what I have so far.

Started clearing out a corner of my yard for a smale "test" course. Once I gather more rock I'll starting putting more time into it. Going to try and make to where you would have to take a second look to realize what it is and easily mistaken for landscaping.

It will be on the small side but it is bigger then what it looks in the pictures

Here's some fun my brother and I had over the weekend. We picked the hardest lines to film, most of which ended up being rock bouncing more so than crawling lol. Trails are still in development and got pretty torn up, which is good considering now I get to fix those places and make people stick to the actual trail. First rig was my brothers with him driving, second rig was mine with me driving, third rig was mine with my brother driving.

Onto the driving.
