Wild Trail setups
FBM.BMX:
I'm perfectly fine with strangers coming to the trails, on a dry day, whilst being glass smooth, not casing, putting down some magic clay and doing some watering. Basically doing the same as the locals.
If they live locally, not lent a hand over winter, come down a couple times, i'm fine with that. If they live locally and come down all the time, i tell them to clear off.
I'm not cool with people coming down on a wet day, just expecting to ride, no offer to dig or do anything, then progress onto riding even though it's too wet and tearing up the top surface.
It's normally only kids that can be a bit reckless, they don't seem to have the common sense to see if something they're doing is ruining something. That or don't care.
Forgot about litter, it's not hard to take it home with you. that's one thing land owners/councils/busy bodies will pick up on.
I would have been fine with someone like eggit riding them, in those conditions.
However, i do think builders do have the right to be against it if they so wish.
Adam is furious:
Everybody banned from my trails.
I ride on my own.

of course.
yet in the eventuality that some riders do happen to discover them by accident would your first instinct be to run at them with a shovel braveheart style telling them to fuck off your jumps?
if other people riding them became a concern you could use strategically placed chains to limit their use. id be talking to the visiting riders first though to see if theyre safe or not, and likewise if i was visiting trails that werent mine and the locals turned up, id be introducing myself and explaining how we found them by accident, complementing the builders on the effort put in and how good they are etc.
you never know, those random guys you find riding your jumps one day could end up becoming good friends with you, they could end up helping out with digging, they might have their own trails and invite you to ride and so on.
there are still other riders out there with good intentions, just saying

EDIT: to heykid matt
EDITedit: to eggit: Not all trails are a community effort at all, my local trails are run for the most part by 3 people. People come out and ride all the time and everyone is fine with it, It just really sucks when a lip gets completely redone and needs to dry or be packed in more and then people you don't even know come and ride it while your gone. Its just not cool to do

wood block knows whats up, it happens with our trails about every 2 to 3 weeks we catch them and tell em not to come back there was also a been a repeat offender messing alot of shit up like lips and landings, one of our buddies tacoed his rim and said if he were to come back we'd creek him(theres a creek right next to our trails). trails love nothing else like it.
edit: zach too, knows whats up
