Man Allegedly Dug 50 Holes On Trails In Revenge

Revenge For Almost Being Hit By A Mountain Biker Allegedly Sparked Vandalism

FULLERTON, Calif. (CBS) ―
Revenge was not sweet for a man who allegedly admitted digging holes on bike trails in a Fullerton park as payback for nearly being run down by a mountain biker. He has been charged with felony vandalism, police said Friday.
Warren John Wilson, 52, faces a single felony count of vandalism, said Fullerton police Sgt. Linda King.

Wilson, who could not be reached for comment, remains free on his own recognizance pending a court date that has not yet been set, according to King.

Holes began appearing in mid-June on a trail popular with mountain bike riders that runs parallel to the city's Bud Turner Trail at Laguna Lake Park at Euclid Street and Laguna Road.

About 50 of the holes have been found since June, all dug across the path so that they would pose an obstacle to bicyclists. The holes measured about 1 foot by 2 feet, King said.

Tree branches and brush were often placed along the trail, as well as across the trenches in what seemed an attempt to hide them, King said.

Some riders reported that they were thrown over the handlebars after hitting the holes, but no major injuries have been reported, she said.

A park ranger reported the holes to police, who periodically did surveillance in the area. Detectives checked the trail after a man walking a dog was spotted, and vandalism was found, King said.

On Dec. 11, the same man with his dog was seen entering the trail and leaving it 15 minutes later, and a later check showed holes covered with a large piece of concrete and a branch, King said.

When questioned by police, Wilson allegedly said that he had "almost been run over" by a bike rider once and, in retaliation, began digging the holes and placing obstacles on the trail, King said.

Sweet!

You have to love the file photo they used in the story: a DHer or 4Xer in a full-face helmet and pads.

I want to thank the guy. I really appreciated his hard work. Made for some better riding. True it caught a few off guard, but isn't that what mtb'ing is all about. Challenges such as obstacles or holes/dips in the ground is what makes a trail fun to me. I'd like to offer him a chance to ride with us. He might have a whole new perspective of riding and riders after that.

I didn't click the link initially, but that's hilarious. As if anyone rides the fully loop in DH gear.

We should all email an ACTUAL riding shot from Fully for them to use instead.
