    Hey what’s up guys,

    Been lurking around the site for a couple of months now and finally picked up my 2020 OR last week! Looking for a few beginner trails to go to in the LA area.


    Also open to trails in the Joshua tree area. We bought a house in twenty nine palms so we’re out there a couple times a month working on the house.


    Any tips and trails for a newbie would be greatly appreciated!

    We used to shoot out in the desert off base a lot. So I would say hitting those off the beaten paths wouldn't be too hard out there. Mostly just dirt and sand, but I'm sure you dont wanna take the new truck on anything crazy so soon anyway

    It’s actually not too bad. We don’t have many neighbors and we’re far from the town itself.
