rig-pig Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 a bit poor, i thought there would have been a dirt bmx track somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviec121 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I dont know of anywhere, if you find a good spot post it up here, i could do with something other than park land to run mine properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug=309 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hello, im sorry to burst in here, but there is an old bmx track in Finlathen park, if you park on Fountainbleau drive near where the bridge goes over the park, on the Fintry side below the bridge you should see it Go to google map and use these coordinates 56.486511,-2.941211 and you should see it. Hope this helps Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviec121 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 So i went down and had a look at this old bmx track and i think with a little work we could be in with a usable bash site. The council have been cutting the grass but not very well, you could get away with lager 1/8 or 1/5 scales on but nothing smaller. Will see in the summer about a strimmer to clean it up and rebuilding it abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug=309 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Well i hope it works out for you, im always out and about so if i find anymore similar sites, ill let you know Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayzie12 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Theres a road on the claverhouse industrial estate just along from the toyota garage that was laid but then closed immediately https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=56.496333,-2.942344&hl=en&sll=56.496712,-2.94086&sspn=0.01053,0.033023&t=h&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=16&z=16 So if you need somewhere smooth to run its pretty much perfect, apart from a few stones.

pug=309 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Aye that would be good for a bit of drag racing or even drifting. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soss Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hey guys, new here, just bought my first serious rc car this week. Was looking for places to bash in Dundee, so far I would suggest the bmx course out by Baldovie recycling plant on Forties Rd. It is in excellent condition and the track is pretty damn big too, there's a pretty decent gravel bmx track in tayport at the tentsmuir forest end, only downside is that it's very loose wee chuckies to get everywhere inside the car. The skate park at dudhope also looks very promising, but at this time of year suspect theres no chance of getting to bash around it unless its first thing in the morning.

soss Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 A park is fine, loads of space, but running flat out in open space get boring quick The dudhope skate park seems very popular, not helped with it being summer hols i guess, but it has a lot of potential for tricks, proper jumps, wall runs, lot of potential if only we could rid it of skater kids Have now been out to the bmx course at baldovie 3 times and not been another soul there, except the ones i went with, and as i said before, the track really is huge.
