Minnesota Is Minnesota an RC desert?

Me too. LOL There is no way I could stand living in a big city or one of the suburbs.

Any of you guys ever hit the BMX pump track in Chaska?

@walloftvs Where in Chaska? I’m down

 

[walloftvs]

Chaska Pump Track
Chaska, MN 55318
https://maps.app.goo.gl/KEgMAm7sL4MoR44QA

Track was built last summer, so the Google maps sat view still shows an empty field. The street view doesn't show what the new track looks like, either.

There are some pretty sweet transfers you can also hit using the back side of the berms as the booter. Plenty of open run in, so sky's the limit and your tolerance for breaking stuff lol.

 

[walloftvs]

Just went and measured one of the transfers I was working on. It's about 70' from the lip of the far berm (you can sort of see it in the pic, it's behind the other berm) to the backside of the little tabletop. Busted up my EXB last time I was here when I landed on the wrong side of the tabletop lol.

Only 6 hours from mine.

50 Minutes from my house

30-45 mins for me

 

[Hammer Down]

If it’s not busy there like the one me and @Dutch go to in Eagan, I’m definitely down. It’s also about 30-40 min from my house but I certainly want to check it out. I’m super busy with work right now, in a few week I should have plenty of time to bash. ?

 

[walloftvs]

Yeah it's usually empty when I'm there or maybe a couple of kids riding around that usually are more interested in watching than riding. The majority of bikers are just riding by on the trails and do a couple of laps and then move on.

The Chaska / Chan mtb team will probably have periodic practices there soon, typically early evenings on weekdays. That's probably the only time I'd say it would be unusable.

I prefer this place to Eagan. The Eagan spot has poor sight lines, is pretty narrow and you kind of have to putz around to get your jumps lined up. This place is much easier to see everything and blitz all over the place. You can lap the whole track and see your truck the whole time with the exception of one corner if you stand between the berms in the pic I posted.

Hey guys, I got some footage from the Chaska spot yesterday.

I may have to stop down with my son. He will go crazy when he sees all the RC cars

 

[Hammer Down]

Last call for the possible final bash of the season!! @Dutch and I will be at goat Hill at 1pm if anyone wants to join??

 

[walloftvs]

How'd it go today? I wanted to join but my exb blew up its rear end.

 

[Hammer Down]

Muddy but Fun!! Lots of high fly’n action and plenty of carnage... I destroyed one of @Dutch trucks! ? ? ?
