I’m in the northwest suburbs Barrington to be exact. Not sure how far that is from you but I have some property and a forest preserve that I bash at. There is also a bmx track in Elgin I go to every once in a while.

I got angrily kicked out of there a couple months ago... didn't even get to the track before people started yelling.

OP, what city are you in?

Yeah I have been ran off once but was in the clear a few other times. I try to go around this time of the year or on a week day if I happen to be working in the are.

I found a public grass track in Yorkville... bit of a hike from Barrington. It's about 45 minutes for me to drive there from Dekalb, but over the summer I went every other weekend and only ran into kids once or twice. Even then, it was only 2 or 3 kids. Since it's grass, it's tough to pedal bike at, so they get tired quick and leave. Downside is, it drives up the temps of the trucks, so I gear accordingly. They did seem to keep it mowed pretty decent all summer. Was best in the spring and fall though when the grass wasn't growing so fast. I have many videos of me bashing there this year if you want to check it out and make the trek next spring, hit me up.

Sounds like a plan. And like you said hope next spring is better than last.

[jondilly1974]

Nope, just Morton. Pumpkin capital of the world.

Do you only go during spring or better yet would you go during this time of year?

I would if there wasn't snow on the ground and it was above 40F. It's a lot of big air jumps, mixing big jumps with cold ends badly very quickly. Usually when it's cold, I just stick near home and find a snow pile in a parking lot somewhere to screw around on.

understandable well keep me posted.

This was a racetrack in the che che pinqua section of Schiller woods (Forest preserve) for the Chicago area. I live in Schaumburg, it's about a 15-20 minute ride for me. The place was pretty awesome. There's an rc airplane runway and was this racetrack and crawler course. It's a shame they demolished it.

 

[SARRT8]

I have been there a few times years ago didn’t know they demoed till now. Yes what a shame I don’t think we have any RC tracks around here anymore. I singed the petition maybe they will build it back. The sad financial state of affairs this state is in I highly doubt it. I’m always looking for somewhere new to bash.

 

[olds97_lss]

I read about that place years ago on the chitownrc forum, but never made the drive.
