Scale crawling at Lizard's Mouth in Santa Barbara, CA

[surfimp]

My buddy Tamiya Runner from Scale4x4 got some great video from our run yesterday at Lizard's Mouth here in Santa Barbara, CA. This has got to be some of the best crawling in SoCal, and we've got it right in our backyard...

Is this "THE" Surfimp? Dude! Nice vid- Love the scalers, and the terrain! If you are ever heading out this way be sure to bring your implements for both air and rocks- we could have some good fun!

Crawling is a great challenge- almost as technical as acro slermal/DS with a nice rig... Nice to see you here!

The one and only, baby!

I fought the crawler compulsion for a long time, but when Tamiya released the Hilux, "resistance was futile."

I had no idea it was gonna be this much fun!

If I ever get out there you can bet I'll bring my rig along with "Surfimp's Flying Circus"

Nice video. From what I remember and what I saw in the video that's a great spot to crawl.

I used to spend a lot of time around SB.

If you guys ever venture up Hwy. 33, from what I recall Sespe gorge, Lions Campground (Rose Valley rd.) and Pine Mountain all have good spots as well. Pine Mountain is awesome if you wanted to camp (in the summer).

I think the end of Paradise Rd. near Cachuma also has some potential. It's been quite a while so can't remember that clearly.

Gibralter Rock off of Gibralter road should have a small area to crawl as well.

Well, have fun down there and thanks for sharing the video.

Man I can relate about the Hilux! My dad had an old Toy just like that, and I've always wanted one to make into an offroad thrasher, but RC is cheaper! I was staying in PHX over Xmas and they had so many nice, dry rocks to crawl on there- and my little stadium truck was boring on all the flatness. Long story short I made some extra cash and picked up an AX-10. So far I've blown about a grand. Right now all of our rocks in Colorado are under snow- but when it thaws I can't wait to try out Red Rocks! It's like mini Moab!

Oh- and I'll have a freshie Bee just waiting to do some pounding!

Hasta bra- see yous around!

Oh yeah, nice terrain- you were making some SICKly steep climbs! Much fun!
