I was once told not to even wear a Gopro on such trails for fear of the location getting out. Now we've got videos on pinkbikes front page with chumps saying where these trails are to gain pinkbike cred…

That's how trail systems end up like the North Fork. Destroyed and gated.

Yeah, because mountain biking certainly isn't about a community; it's about hoarding trails.

Amen Fattirerider....the "community" component was what led to north fork getting shut down.

Are you talking about the Deming North Fork Trail?

So there should be no videos on Pinkbike unless they are shot on trails everyone already knows? User generated content is one of my favorite parts of the Pinkbike community. That's not advocating that people go out and destroy someone else's trail building.

Not my point at all. The issue fattirerider is bringing up has nothing to do with poaching trails. It has to do with filming a trail thats in a area where the local government is sensitive to the liability of trail features. I'm not bugged by people filming on someone else's trail....i'm against people bringing awesome, private trails to the limelight and those trails ultimately getting torn down by city legislation as they did in the past.

If that comment is directed at me, you're wrong about "PB cred" - real world is only cred I worry.
I suppose I'm not supposed to show people spots up at Baker then too? Wasn't enuf snow to hold a real Banked Slalom last year. Or good fishing spots & gear? Global warm=use it now, no guarantees.
I hope I was wrong (had to be, that spot is Priv Prop) - point being so many kids won't get off an xbox, let alone buy bikes & ride.
Life is too short, go along / get along - worry about terrorists or some such thing.
