I wanna get a scale fun run going on Sunday Nov 13th
I've been doing a lot of Google maps and i think i might have found something.
In the NorthEast off of Martin Luther king Jr blvd in North Hills there is a small park but behind the levy there are mountain bike trails that are not for the faint of hart from what I've read and heard the trails are not for the beginner so i thought that might be a good g6 type trail
Here are the directions
Go north on highway 54 then get off on exit 31 Martin Luther King Jr blvd turn left at light onto Martin Luther King Jr Blvd then at the first light John Cunningham blvd turn left toward the mountain go straight till you run out of road and that is the park.
Let me know if anyone's interested in maybe doing a trail run there. As soon as I get some time off from work I'm gonna go walk around there see if it looks good but from Google maps I think there is some rain run offs that look very promising.
Thanks Bobby

So i went to the place that bobby was talking about and from the looks of things its just like the lower section of Sue Young park. More racing than crawling. I did go up to Mckelligon Canyon and found a real nice spot. I walked it and then crawled it for about an hour. There are a couple washouts we can follow to a main area that is a real nice crawl up the side with multiple lines. There are a few spots along the trail where you have to watch out for some broken glass from bottles and cactus. Let me know what you guys think.

I was thinking about Mckelligon Canyon too. It sound like it might be a good spot.

Ok let's just decide on the location by Wednesday so we can make sure everyone shows up to the right place. Also remember we can go to UTEP we have not done the back section over by the police station, or Tom Mays still has many trails we have not even tried.

Jorge, Eric jr and I may not be able to make it for Friday evening but we will be ready for Sunday. We are doing some MODS on the Crawlers, installing a new body, electronics and lights on my Scorpion and Eric is doing some body alterations on his Wraith. Trying to have them ready by late Friday evening.
If event is at Mckelligon Canyon, where do we meet ? At the Stage Area, at the end of the Loop ?? It will be our first time meeting at that location. If another location is chosen it is fine with us. Please keep us posted... Thank you.

Ok I was looking at the weather for this weekend and they are calling for 30mph winds. It didnt say when it will start but I know at the canyon when there is wind its like a wind tunnel. I dont know if everyone wants to still give it a shot or not. Jorge and I were talking earlyer this week and was thinking maybe utep if the wind would be bad. Just a thought and wanted to put it out there for everyone to know and think about. Ill be at the shop later and talk to jorge and see what he thinks.

Video works now. When you upload videos click on the icon that looks like movie film and insert your link there. When you hover over the icon they label pop up. Hope that helps. Nice video btw
