I know excactly who showed him.. pretty wank that he is showing other people, fair enough ride it yourself if you want, don't go showing other people who aren't local, and will end up telling other people. none of you( not you liam) put any work into the tracks up there

tbh a think u should get a grip of your sad lifes as they are not YOUR trails, they are on the forestry commisions land and therefore belong to them, so don't go blaming Thomas. and FYI i have been told about those tracks before by other riders who aren't locals so it's hardly a secret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jamiebiker I don't appricate you blaming me for showing him where the trails are, I believe you had just as big a role in showing him where they are as after all who gave you a lift to the trails that day we took him up? And I hope that last part of your rant was not aimed at me.

settle down sonny jim.
the point is that we( the people who ride and build them trails have an agreement with the fc, we know the managers for the area, they are aware of them trails and are cool with us few riders who build and ride them,
they know that if we hurt ourselves we wont start bitching and suing, however we have been told that if it becomes obvious that they are being ridden to regularly or if too many people start riding them then they will be shut down.
basically we dont want random little shites riding and skidding them out meaning they get shut down on us, we are the ones who have the job of keeping it under control in order for them not to be shut, so thats why i wanted to know how he found ouot about them as we have told select few people about a particular trail i saw you riding on that video which is not part of the classic torlundy trails and is very well hidden for the specific reason that we dont want many people on it.
ihave noticed recently that its not as hidden any more and so this would suggest that someone who doesnt understand the state of affairs has been up there.
basically we will be seriously pissed of if anything happens over this, im already a little pissed that you dont seem to understand the concept of keeping a hidden trail hidden.
so if they were your trails, that you spent ages building and keeping in a good nick then feel free to tell people about them, until then stop please.
also as the random kid who is making promo videos of himself do you see the irony in saying we have sad lifes??
dont be a dick, just dont show any other people them trails and if you insist on riding them then for christ sake dont skid out/move away branches from hidden entrances.

Fair point james, it's more the fact that these tracks were built to be private, we got permission from FC to build them aslong as they didn't become well known because of all their health and safety issues, so yeah you and thomas can ride them if you wish, the point we are making is more to do with not wanting people to show anyone, so like i said, they do stay "secret" as the name suggests.
