RE: any good dirt spots around lakewood
I go to the same closed down train tracks I think. Is it the same ones that run up through Cypress/Cerritos area, like south/east or so? The stretch I go to has no tracks there, just the mound of rocks/dirt left.
We should bash our trucks sometime..
Hey did you know that technically any Nitro powered RC anything is considered a class 3 firework or something like that, and in the city of Long Beach and Lakewood it's ILLEGAL to run anywhere, including parks and schools. As well as riding a bike in any park, skating, roller blading/skating, and having ANY animal in a park!!!
I actually called all the city halls and asked around, because I didn't believe the guy at Hobby Warehouse, but he was right. So I run my truck in Cypress or Cerritos where it's legal...

Hey, guys.
I live in Downey, so I'm not far from you two.
I usually just go to a park near by or my old middle school.
I'd love to find some good spots too.
We should all meet up.
Only thing is...my TMaxx is awaiting repairs right now.

RE: any good dirt spots around lakewood
Ok guys I found it, there's a spot here in Cypress on the edge of Lakewood, the LA river on the west side of Forest Lawn Cemetery.. If you head down Carson/Lincoln to where Bloomfield splits you'll see the bridge for the river, and just east and north of the bridge you'll see the patch of dirt I'm talking about right along the bike path there.
You can run straight up the side of the river bed at 45 degrees and then up and over the bike path into the dirt, it makes for some really really sick long jumps, just sailing through the air.. A bunch of local BMX'ers have also built ramps in the dirt, it's soft loose dirt and some sand/gravel in places.
