Yeah they're saints cos they build, they live near there so they CAN build, trust me if I lived anywhere near anywhere where I could build and not either have chavs knock it down or the forestry commission knock it down......

Exactly man! If i lived anywhere near anywhere that I was allowed to build trails, I would and I would build and build and build! But.. Every field around me is used for cattle so has piles of hoof holes.. anywhere else close to me i have asked and I am not allowed!

Trail building for me is as rewarding as the riding , we tend to build for an hour and add 20-50 meters every week , before you know it you got a new trail

Stoked to see San Diego freeriding going off. It was all still just DH singletrack there when I moved away in 2000. Now the bottom of Noble Canyon, Ted Williams Pkwy, Anderson Truck Trail, and several other spots are truly worthy spots to GO BIG. Keep it up, guys!!

robholio (Dec 17, 2008 at 18:55)

That made no sense. Freeriders are "mindless huckers" if they don't race? As to San Diego trails, I grew up in El Cajon and I was riding most of those trail spots before you were born, so I'm well aware of what's up. All the more reason to do it legally...

jejsd (Dec 18, 2008 at 7:08)

Too bad, the mountain bike community is too weak and unorganised to make this kids able to build legal trails. Unfortunately, even if in a short term it's sweet to have new trails, this kind of trail creation on a private property and without any ecological considerationwon't help to promote freeriding in the SD area. BTW the secret spot attitude is just completely stupid, maybe it can help you to keep your spot one more month but you're sure it's going to be wiped out at some point. The only successfull way to keep a trail system for a long term is buil legally with the community agreement. An article about the legal opportunuty to build trails at the future SDMBA skill park at Mission trails or at Vail Lake.
As an example, watch what happened to the "secret trails" at Flightline and how new trails can be build and preserved at La costa when builders work with the different organisations and agencies... I'm not (yet) member of the SDMBA but I thing you guys would better try to be massively involved in a local organustion to work together instead of wating your time on internet (like me)

kids do build.. but its usually harder for us to get the right equipment and money.. im 15 and me and my buddies built a bunch of dirt jumps and this year i will be helping the builders work on the trails.. lots of kids do build...

Jcotton (Dec 17, 2008 at 23:47)

me and my mates build all our tracks, the closest decent DH track is hour and half away and we dont want to get driven there every weekend cause is not worth the trip, so we have put many days worth of work into our tracks and we are changing them all the time, so the work never stops.

mtnbker395 (Dec 17, 2008 at 20:59)

all the shit people are saying about this should stop.
I live in little old ashland, oregon, and as we fight just to keep our trails legal, the community gets angry at local bikers and post articles in the newspaper about "how we don't show respect for the mountain" for making what they can out of the area that they can legally make trails on.

and being that i'm 13 as well, it's really cool to see other guys out there putting a lot of effort into making the trails more enjoyable for everyone.

good job guys.

Hey I've ridden with you guys. Thanks for showing us a few good runs when we visited Ted Williams a while back. Then I ran into one of you out at the ATT. Good Riding and Good Building - I need more hits to test out my LEATT brace on. Just Kidding I wouldn't of known about that brace if I didn't see you riding with one. Great Vid, better than the probuiltwheels vid on youtube. If your ever down at the beach bring your rigs, there are some jumps and good drops at Sunset cliffs south of OB

WOW awesome article, ted williams is one of the most fun, if not the most fun place to ride in San Diego. i think that although this article might've been only about a few kids, when there are lots of riders in Poway, the real article is about Ted williams, because lots of people help out with the building up there.

I am a member of SDMBA and def do trail work in order to get rangers and the city behind our sport and let us build better trails (not just horse trails or SDG&E fire roads).

I ride Ted's at lunch a couple times a week (I'm prob the only guy you'll see riding UP on my hardtail so I can enjoy the DH) I love the place but fear that if people build unintelligently (some of the trails are horrible and unridable at this point as the grade was bad and the water just created 3' deep ruts in the trail.

Please build intelligently and don't piss off land owners or Ted's will be the next tunnels.... I miss the tunnels

bunkey (Dec 17, 2008 at 11:15)

no offence and all, at all; but the artical makes it out that these kids are some sort of prodigies because they are building trails at the age of about 16? Theres a lot more young people out building trails other than just these guys? and theres trails built that are a lot better too?! can we not get a universal shout out instead of just picking out a medeocre example and worshipping it like some godly act?

I just think its stupid to be posting spots on a web site that could potentially get closed down. 90 % of thos trails have been built before these young guns started riding. If only they just gave everyone mapquest directions to it and were to park. Good job.

robholio (Dec 17, 2008 at 17:01)

How so? Building illegal trails is dumb all by itself. Maybe if all of the builders down there united and got organized and went about establishing legal ride spots and stewarded the trails on a regular basis, you'd actually WANT to get the word out about spots like this. And newsflash: even people up here in Oregon know where those trails start and where they end, so it's no mystery. The whole "my beach, my wave, my trail" attitude is just weak. Just my
