People "altering" your perfect lip because its too steep.
bugs.
people who dont mind there own f*cking business.
kids trying to tell you how to build a line, when they dont know what there on about.
having a line built through the middle of a run-out seems to be pretty popular at the moment too.
generally though, just about anyone turning up at the trails who isnt one of my mates who i choose to ride/build with.

Friends who said they'd help build sissying out and leaving after 20 minutes into a jump.

Not having anyone to help build.

Ticks, mosquitos, and whatever other sort of bug that gets on me.

Roots...

Shovel catching headphones cord and pulling them out of my ear.

not owning a chainsaw

friends who say they'll come help build and you wait around for em at your house and then they call when it's to hot to go build and say they arent coming.

when you bail hard on the first trick and your out of commision for the rest of the day, forcing you to watch your friends doing the shit you'd be doing if you'd just smartened up before trying a 360 whip barspin. not fun.

When you're in the middle of building something, not even finished and someone says they don't think it's going to work

-Breaking shovels
-When it hasn't rained for ages so the ground is like rock / Having no water to build/smooth/help compact jumps
-People who suck who kill the lips/jumps by rolling over them
-Not being able to find big rocks/logs to use as bases
-Forgeting tools (hammer etc...)
-Forgetting food/drink
-Dirt that's got the consistency of sawdust, frigging hard to build stuff with...
-Shovel blisters (even with gloves)
-People who change jumps to suit themselves, completely wreacking them
-When a group of parents show up at the local DJ's with their kids on 16" bikes, who have no idea about anyone else and get in everyones way, while rolling over jumps. I have nothing against kids wanting to ride, but seriously, if you want to go ride with your kids, go actaully ride with them!

Dont get me wrong, I love building stuff but sometime it can be annoying...

mates who say they want to do stuff and you make plans to build a sick jump or line and then get started, do a dats work and then they never come back to do it or they "down-size" the jump that they suggested to build in the first place coz they are 2 pussy to hit it or they say its to sketchy when u have hit it and it is fine.

You should try to do the cable of your headphone over your back.
works pretty well, and it would never be in the way. [ under you Tee ]
