Title: New Park In SC
Post by: Alex on January 22, 2009, 08:15:31 PM: Well i just got back from there today. I actually meet the owner and see showed me around. I only got to see a few obstacles because Molly was about to die. It should be open in 2 weeks. Is will only cost $15 per vehicle and passengers are free. We said for us to bring a group up and ride anytime we want. They have about 10 different trails that are ready including one that is going to be very hard to do. It is about a 15 foot vertical wall. They have over 300 acres so they have a lot of room to grow. He wants there to be so enough trails so you dont have to hit the same obstacle more than once a day. I got to try one of there newest little trails and lost a rear coil spring in the process but it was fun.

This is the little trail at the Camp

This is the vertical wall trail. This is just one part, it will continue in both directions over 500 yards. It should be a lot like rat trap but about 10 times as long when it is done. The vertical wall is in the back of the pics.

This is called tank trap. It is 6 or so 10 foot deep holes going up a hill. It took a lot of wheel speed and a little rev limiter to make it up. When it is wet, it is almost imposable.

Title: Re: New Park In SC
Post by: BigJerm on January 23, 2009, 10:13:07 AM: I just did a quick map and it looks to be about 131 miles from the west side of atlanta. That's about the norm for most off road parks for me and the price is cheaper than most. Not bad...

Post by: Matt on January 23, 2009, 10:21:07 AM: 86 miles ;D

Post by: wtheonew on January 23, 2009, 11:02:44 AM: How come Clemson gets a park but the ATL/Tech doesn't :(

2 hours and $15? Sounds pretty good to me.

Because wheeling on the I-75 isn't very fun. Should of gone to a school near some mountains and woods.
