Po'd

[Willfulone]

I just got back from my favorite riding spot and I am P.O...

First, I live in N. VA, so you know the riding areas are limited. Most of the time for a day ride we haul out to Taskers Gap, about a 90 min drive. But for a quick ride there are 2 places local that one can get a quick ride in...
I've been riding there for two years and never, never had any problem. The place was never marked, and always had bikes and quads all over it. So I haul out there today and see that it was marked. I figured that I would take one last ride there and then bail it forever, to respect the postings.

First off, they had knocked down trees along all the access points. Not a small task as there are many. So I make my way threw the woods and get onto the trail. Now I'm hauling butt, because I've ridden this trail a hundred times. I come crusing around a corner and out of nowhere is this 15 foot high mound of dirt. I jam on the brakes and slam into the mound going about 15 mph, almost tossing me over the HB and smacking up my knees. I get off my quad and walk around the mound, that protrudes 20 feet into the woods and see this huge ***** hole duge behind the mound of dirt. No way around... So I try a few more trail off shoots and the same thing. A couple of way around, but I keep running into the same trail disruptions, trees, or huge mounds of dirt or dug out areas...

So I almost got killed, and they Killed my favorite local riding area with no warning...

P.O.'d

Peace

I know where your coming from on this one, ive had some of the same problems, but since there was signs up, telling u to stay off, ur just lucky u didnt get injured, or a nice law suit would have been on ur *** lol. But then again, i never listen to the signs and i continue to ride where ever i want, no one ever catches me, including the fat cop that chases me down the road almost everyday, he just doesnt get it im faster than him and i can cut into any trails and get away lol.

He's right... if it's posted, then STF out! That's not keeping the sport going, and some day you may piss off the wrong person. You may be fast, but I bet you can't outrun a .223. ;) nuff said, end of story.

Losing riding spots blows, thats why Im glad I been riding MX primarily for the last 5 years... I used to be a woods maniac but lost too many riding areas and dont really like to ride state parks since I have a sparks exhaust and no spark arrestor and they ***** about the noise. I ENJOY having a loud bike... Hell, the louder the better, thats why I just ride tracks mostly now and dont piss anyone off...

The trails i ride around me are farmers and land owners that know i ride on, its only the cop that doesnt like me using the backroads to get to the trails, but its the only way, and im not harming anything, so dont flame pal. The signs are there for other riders that dont have the trail privilages.

This sucks that your riding area got shut down, but what I quoted is where you went wrong. I'd be willing to bet the posted signs didnt say "One last ride for everyone..."

If u ever met me you wouldnt dare try and smack me around kid, im 17 and wrestle as a hobby, going to nationals next year, so if u honestly would like to try and slap me around punk, please try..

When u were my age, did u ever fallow rules ? if u did u must of had one boring life. I ride like every other teenager, and dont like cops. But if u think driving down unpopulated back roads without harming anything is such a bad thing then please move on with life.. or atleast ***** to someone who cares.
