Hmm, not necessarily true, but I see your point. For long years now I've looked at rock-crawling and felt it would be a bonza direction for UK trials to head in, but for one slight snag. We kinda lack sufficient suitable terrain to make it a viable proposition in the UK. :(
And that sucks.
We do mud really well, because we've got an endless supply of it. What we lack are areas with big rocks in (most of our quarries are either gravel or big vertical). Any bouldery areas are usually well protected environmentally. I've even toyed with the idea of building a crawling course (like Tong, but bigger) but it is cost prohibitive.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it happen, but its scope in the UK would be very limited, compared to other forms of off-road motorsport.
If you buy, lets us know how you get on, and raffle a drive at Christmas! :wink:
cheers

Have any of you been to the 'Grand Canion' site at Shoreham Cement works quarry near Brighton? Although it's not really set up for rock-crawling at the moment, I have often thought it would be possible to 'biuld' a frightening course there with nothing more than a digger.
Just a thought!
