    Did this fellow crash? It looks like he is about to come up short. What is that guy doing up on the hill? Is he drinking a beer? If you get a chance, please send me a pm and let me know where you shot this picture.

    Thanks,

    To Mr Kentonn

    Firstly, thanks for your invaluable work on keeping trails safe for all of us:clap::clap::clap:.
    I am glad your organization is out there doing this work and feel that these "extreme" free ride style trails are getting all too prolific in Southern California.
    I say this because on a recent ride on my local trails, I came upon a section where the trail seemed to be purposely routed over a large rock, rather than around it. What is more the rock was well over three times the height of my suspension travel (160mm):?:. That would be well over the 12" "jumps" described by the OP. There was no alternative way constructed around this huge boulder.
    These free ride style trails are getting way out of hand.
    Please help.

    I really thought this whole could be real for about the first page ... and I felt the need to hit my computer screen with a tire iron for a split second there. I'm happy to have read further to understand the joke. Thanks for exposing acts of toolishness in their proper light.

    Thank you for sending me the details. We will be headed your way early next month...

    Just in case you were wondering, Denmother was the mod that reported the dangerous jumps to S.T.U.P.I.D.A.S.S. She informed us of the danger after seeing a picture in the women's forum. When we suggested the removal, she said "Fine, I don't ride there anyway". ;)

    What about the blind corner? I hope you took that out too when you removed the kickers.

    Captain Cream's.... fantastic family establishment, that. What happens if someone underage and/or not wishing to look at nekkid girlies wants to attend?

    Just curious...

    If they are too young or they don't want to to nekkid girlies then their opinion doesn't really matter ;)

    Now that is just crazy talk... If we did that, there would be nothing left but road #-o

    well done, kentonn. eternal vigilance is the answer to trail hooligans.



    (this kind of thread is why we stress reading comprehension skills in 2nd grade!)
