Well, I live about 10mins from Guilderland and about 30mins from Mechanicville or Clifton Park (right next to each other) and never heard of anything in those places!! Hook me up people!!! Friends of mine are getting sick of the same old places. We do try to find different places to ride but there always seems to a catch, example: you gotta know the owners of the property or cops are always there or ect..... there's always a catch!!

Have you been to saratoga around the old air port it is off the hook there are like busted up c 14's and old planes from like WW2 its sick....there is a 95 foot triple there....Its massive....I couldnt do it when I lived there but I am sure I can now....flashers is in mechanicville if you can get to the train tracks there you will find 5 pits each a mile or more big, big jumps ,big hill climbs,lots of competition.....There are places up near vishers ferry on exit 8 in cliftonpark....there you will find the dredge the place I learned how to hit jumps and ride the dunes....its right along the mohawk river near the twin bridges going to colonie....if you go there you will meet the garage boys theres about 40 of them...they where my brothers before I left ny...they will hook you up with anything....its a party and riding every night....We ride down the road and the cops wont do anything cuz they know most of us well enough that they know where just having fun and not causein trouble......If you go to flashers ppl try and make you race with them and stuff....they think there the ****....but you hook up with the garage boys you'll have fun/...
