hey bro, I feel for you. I know what its like to spend hundreds of hours working on a trail and them someone come and tear it down..

who8mycrayon (Jun 27, 2009 at 17:26)

yeah dont the rangers have something better to do? like duck hunting or something....you should see how much effort they put into tearing it down

dopenastyrider45 (Jun 27, 2009 at 19:36)

im just curious... what do you mean by dont worry?

shawndogger (Jun 27, 2009 at 20:26)

ya bro, dont worry? that trail looked sick. there was definately some time spent working on it. and now its gone. you cant just forget about that.

dopenastyrider45 (Jun 27, 2009 at 21:29)

imean dont worry like i mean u can just build it up again but give it a week or 2 before u start to rebuild cause then they wont come back and look thats what we did and our trail hasnt got torn down since

who8mycrayon (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:00)

well we already got fines like $500 so if we did it could go farther in deep water than we are prepared for....

dopenastyrider45 (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:03)

did u build in a park or just random land

who8mycrayon (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:15)

random land i guess

dopenastyrider45 (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:24)

thats stoopid who called or found the place

westcostdownhiller (Jun 27, 2009 at 22:27)

god damnit...i was there just the other day and they but so much effort into destroying the place even if we start to build it will take such a long time to get started again

shawndogger (Jun 28, 2009 at 11:57)

ya dude, if you got fined.. I would lay off that place. I had a trail and the most that happend to me was the cops being called a few times and just taking my name. nothing more than that. but im sorry about the trail bro. its a bummer.

pannepacker (Jun 28, 2009 at 19:58)

yea, we thought we were ok there (even the rangers said it was ok) until one of the neighbors must have complained... we have been involved in previous "illegal" trail-building so we are on their list, we cant afford to piss them off anymore :/

westcostdownhiller (Jun 28, 2009 at 21:26)

I mean c'mon we have no place to ride what do they want us to do build a 2 second trail from our back yard to the street

shawndogger (Jun 28, 2009 at 21:58)

hey guys, I totally feel for you. I know what its like. I had a trail that I could see from my house... but at the same time, so could everyone else. the owner told me to leave, but I kept going. then he got pissed. called the cops. and said if I didnt tear the jumps down he would sue me and my parents. and this is a guy who is a millionare and one of the richest people where I live. seriously, what a dick.

pannepacker (Jun 28, 2009 at 22:46)

that sucks...
we thought we were in the clear with our area... the neighbors were even happy to see us having fun.
all it took was a call from someone that wasnt happy about it and they ripped it out.

westcostdownhiller (Jun 29, 2009 at 9:17)

we really cant do much any more but just give the rangers hell

shawndogger (Jun 29, 2009 at 22:09)

ya man im bummed for you guys. I hate to see trails being destroyed for no reason.
