the local downhill trail is being ruined by riders who dont want to take the jumps that are made so they take the tops of them off and make them smaller. Its really annoying when you love a jump and someones after ruining it.

I know exactly how you feel, pisses me off! If people dont like the line why dont they stop being selfish and build another one next to it (smaller jump/drop or chicken run) instead of ruin it for others. If you are too scared to ride whats there and to lazy to build an alternative then just dont go to that trail!!! Frown

exactly!! heck, there are some jumps on my local trails i dont go off of, but that doesn't mean i make em smaller, the trails are wide enough to ride around every jump.

Some of the stuff i build for my mates is out of my riding league, but i just build something cool for me to session. Smile its a win - win. I dont see why better riders should suffer for those who are less able like me! Smile

It's so annoying! Also I find that when you realise who's done it and go to speak to them, they go all shy and seem intimidated, anyone else have that?

I think I made my point pretty clear to them , I was aggressive but not overly so , he would not make eye contact after a while so hopefully it' sorted now , gonna pop up there later to make sure he did not do some 'revenge' destruction on my trails after I left...
