Rocky road for rock crawlers
David Ratty again tosses a stick a big black lab has retrieved from a nearby pond, but the teen’s eyes never leave a rock-filled crater.
The South Medford High School student is watching his senior project — a rock crawl course at Hoover Ponds — come alive.
"This is for everyone," says Ratty, 18. "This is for the daily driver guy with a lifted vehicle, rockers and bigger tires. Or for the professionals with their competition buggies."
Rock crawling is a fast-growing recreation in which drivers and their spotters maneuver big-wheeled vehicles over an obstacle course of strategically placed rocks and boulders....
Brent Bradshaw of Trail Tough in Medford demonstrates rock crawling at a new recreation site under construction at an off-highway vehicle park off Highway 140 near White City.
glad to see kids involved in this
