Throw a shitload of barbed plants in the gaps when you are leaving the jumps. You must discourage them somehow. If they have to move the bushes everytime it would get annoying, maybe enough to where they won't come back.
Anybody else have problems with paintballers takeover your trails and using the gaps as bunkers? just happened to me.
Sounds fun haha (unless they damaged something) could get some epic pictures if you rode through it!
I was out building yesterday.. got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes, was horrible. defo bringing bug spray next time! found a really sick spot though. hoping for a long dh run.

Dont use bug spray, it doesnt do anything to be honest, actually attracts mosquitoes now in some cases (no one go all rant on me saying "why do they sell it then") anyway just take it, after a month of getting bitten to f*ck you go immune, happens to me every year. now it only takes a couple of weeks, tends to be the next morning shower before they itch (hot water sets them off)

I think I will, I,l leave some rusty nails lying around too, because im officially abandoning that area. I showed up to build a few hours ago and they were there. I went up to them introduced myself said hi and stuff. They tried to hide the paint balls an whatnot, but I noticed and asked them about it. They told me to f*ck off! Can you believe it ! All after trashing the lips, completely wrecking the wheelbarrow and attempting to trash my shovels( they were locked up ). Man, some people.They even started lopping down trees, something I avoid at all costs, but hey do it for not good reason.

/rant.
Now they seem like pricks... Just boobytrap the whole area
buy a paintball grenade and rig it up to a trip wire. They'll just have turned up in fresh kit, walk in and BAM all covered in paint and wondering what the f*ck just happened.
So the local trails me and a few friends have been building have been closed down due to little f*gs leaving litter and making a general mess. I refuse to put hours and hours of work into trails for other people to use anymore. Me and my building friends are now starting all over again somewhere else and this time we aren't sharing. /rant
That is basically my biggest fear of my trail right now. These dumb teenagers come down with backpacks of food and eat it at the trail, sit around and leave all the trash, then come down again the next day. Its f*cking bullshit and I don't know how I can get it through their head. It's sad really. They have an awesome spot to hang out but instead they deppreciate the area. They are so f*cking ignorant, I want to destroy their chill area so they get discouraged but they also help on the trail every other day so I'm not exactly trying to exile them. Plus they know where the tools are stashed.

Pretend that the landowner is threatening to flatten the trails because of the litter? We did that and it worked until they actually spoke to the landowner's son
Set up some bins, bin bags on trees. Make it easy for them to get rid of the litter. Sure you have to dispose of it, but it looks tidy and is easier than having to pick it up ff the ground
