the environmetalists should be a little more concerned with atv/motocross trails and things of that nature. at least we are not polluting the atmosphere and scaring the crap out of the little creatures in the area.
however dangling a live snake in front of the camera may not be the best way to get your message across.

^ Too true! I’m an environmentalist, that’s why I ride a bicycle.
I build trails too. Where I come from, trail building can be part of the process of helping reclaim land that was once ruined by heavy industry.
This was built in a pit that was excavated for clay to make bricks (not me riding):

Yes we understand that. But our riding area has been plowed down to make more room for the nat catcher thats what they are trying to protect so they are destroying everything so the nat catcher has more room

Don’t set yourself up to fail, work with the system and find a legal place build, one area I know of is Deerfield in Mission Trails, (MTRP) it’s an old abandoned quarry and the Park allows you to build jumps and in Oceanside SDMBA (www.sdmba.com) is working with the city of Oceanside to build a Bike Park.

Those people wrecking your trails would be conservationists then.

oceanside is building a bike park without gap jumps or stunts that are too much of a "liability". Also, the "system" takes 3-4 years to even start looking at places to build. it just seems like a lose lose situation for us.

You got to start somewhere and from what I hear there will be gap jumps and stunts at the Oceanside Park, it's the city of SD that won't allow gaps or stunts.

Well it's almost 5pm and I am out the door to hit......... Valley Jumps

Dude, I am loving those trails. Sick video, too. Gnar jumps, bad crashes, you had it all. (Even a dog chasing you down the trails!) I wanted to cry when I read the last sentence of the description.
