I thought this worth throwing on here but I'm sure either more knowledgeable folks and/or mods will get it somewhere it might be better suited. Actually, I'm sure PB will be doing a follow up article shortly.

One of @mikelevy 's first touches on it I believe.

I can't believe that she only got a mischief charge. The article says that she had been doing this for two hours per day for two years.

She says she wanted to slow down the riders. That is BS. These are mountain bike trails not hiking trails.

Apparently her and her husband had altered some stunts too so that they would collapse when a rider landed on them.

We had a similar incident on Vedder mountain. I wish we could have caught that person. The weak sentence is disrespectful to the mountain bikers. Her actions are literally a form of domestic terrorism and that is no exaggeration. She should be sentenced as such.
