things that annoy me are people who break/wreck your hard work (i spent like 30 hours building a 35 foot long ladder bridge with a 7 foot drop at the end and some dick smashed it) also stupid hikers who walk over the lip of your jump and wreck it so theres no kick to it and also stupid hikers/walkers who try and tell you how to build jumps better which is funny cause i have been building jumps since i was 7 years old and they have no experience and people who just complain in general cause they have nothing better to do with there lives even thought we aren't hurting anyone besides are selfs when we crash Smile

but then again there are people who think what me and my buddys are building are great and we should keep up the good work.

when walkers/hikers get mad at you for making new trails and "disturbing the forest floor". hey f*ck head - the trail you're walking on wasn't always there and you'd be more mad if I came ripping down your "walking" trail on my bike and hit you. I wanna build trails for bikes, shut your mouth and keep walking

I hate it when there are little kidzz who try to jump, crash, screwing the jump and landing.
And then you have the wannabe gangsters, with their stupid music and silly bikes...

Having it dry for weeks... Then it raining really hard and flooding the trails, making them un-diggable and un-rideable. Also having lazy builders who just want to ride, not contribute to the trails.

Dry dirt, Packing the dirt, making jumps taller without all the dirt rolling down the side, Running into rocks under the dirt, and digging them up to find like a pyramid you now have to move, or never hit the jump again, so you have to call a crane ect...lol Trails lasting a week tops.

Oh, and cutting through legless lizzards make me sad. Such a sick creature. Any one else see these?

a snake?

Snake is a different creature - A legless lizard is a sloe-worm. They are awesome!

Umm when I'm out building, I want it to rain. Nothing crappier than having to put your dirtjumps on hold because the dirt is too dry.
where i live, our dirt is always wet. rain just soaks us to the skin and turns everything to mud.

When a giant 3 foot thick tree falls on your trail making the best jump unrideable.

turn it into some kind of north shore obstacle, put a little ramp up onto it and ride along it... or just cup it up a bit, stack the ends on top of each other and make a big ass jump Smile

F*ck man, I know what your saying, that happens all the time eh.. Wink

But no, weve cut down a tree before and it nearly crushed the first two jumps.

Other than that, bugs, little kids, and my retarded biking friend German Josh all annoy me.

And yes, that is his landline number in his user name.. lol
