hmmm....

well, here in SoCal.... we call them MOUNTAINS..
and about 5,000 ft tall....

so, YES. I can say I do it....

but a little pile of crap from a construction site in an empty lot..? naaaa.

maybe fun to play on, if thats all you got.

search "cleghorn" or look in the SoCal area... now thats a pile of dirt and rocks.

Unfortunally that all we have around here and lots of Mud. The only mountais are trash dumps, hell weve even named one of them, Mount Trashmore is probably the highest point down here.

This is sad i need to move further north...

I know what you mean. I have thought about it but my trail thoughts creep in and I don't go there. Why???

It could also be very embarrassing if you high center on a small pile of dirt and you need help to get off. I have seen how just a little frame contact can stop you cold. One of the trails we were on a Rubi with stock suspension needed just a little nudge to get through. With everyone there is just took a minute and a strap. He was on a trail so nothing was funny about it...If you get stuck at a construction site it might make for someones ribbing from one of your friends. With all the phones equipped with cameras you could be on a website before you get home.

It's the closest some of us flatlanders can get to the real thing so YES! The big problem is we just got a load of stuff (sandy fill) delivered to build up our parking area in front of the house. Well the wife has already bitched about the two tire furrows in it where I was testing to see how soft and loose it was.
