Wild Trail setups

Just because they can be seen from google earth doesn't mean shit. It means you sat looking for trails on google earth that weren't yours and then proceeded to ride them. I can find tons of uk trails via google earth, it doesn't mean i'd ever have the audacity to just turn up to them and ride.
What you should of done is leave a note at the trails with your phone number and not ridden them.
You definitely should not have taken pictures and posted them on the internet without the builders permission though.
I've built a lot of trails and had the pleasure of being invited to others trails to ride, that's how trails should be. You should never ever just turn up at a set of expect to ride, especially if no one is there and especially not post pictures of the trails you found on a relatively large bmx forum.
Sorry eggit but you can argue all you want but in this case you are slightly out of line.

He is far from out of line.......... You guys are from the UK where if you left a note somebody would ring you up and say come on down and join us. The US is a much different place, hell last spring I had to rebuild the same jumps five times because of shitty kids. Anybody who thinks they can control a plot of land they don't own is a fool. I have been riding and digging longer than most of you kids have been alive, and have seen shit come and go. If you are lucky enough to have a spot to dig at and ride good for you. Having a shitty attitude gets you nowhere........you polite fuckers accross the pond don't fully grasp how shitty people in America can really be...........we had somebody cut down the trees the chains were wrapped to so they could ride!!! Just having dudes show up and ride and not fuck anything up would be welcomed

This makes more sense now then, I guess our riding scene is generally a lot smaller still.
But we still work on the idea of you have to give respect to receive respect.

You'd think being older and digging longer than us "kids" you could at least knock a good argument together that doesn't contradict itself constantly.
So you say people are shitty then say he's not out of line for riding a set that isn't his?
Manners and politeness count for everything. How hard is it to leave a note but not ride? You think it's better to just ride and fuck off and not leave a note?
Seriously, you're a prick. You completely missed the point of any argument then went off on one about things not even really related to what was being mentioned.
I think you'll find we also fully understand how shit people are and people like Eggit are shit people, same as the little kids who turn up and ruin everything, the dog walkers who put fishing line across trails, the walkers who break glass bottles in lines. But yeah you have it so much worse don't you petal?
Just because you don't mind random guys turning up and riding your trails doesn't mean everyone else should. Trails take time and patience to build, so why the fuck should anyone just turn up and ride even if they are on public property?
Get some manners and etiquette and you'll be welcomed. Turn up, ride and then posting pictures of the trails you found on a bmx website is a dick move no matter what you try and say with your abundance of bad punctuation and addiction to elipses.
Kinchy:
Also, if that's the case in the US, maybe I should move over so I can spend my winter getting drunk, and then turn up at your trails on the first day of spring with a BBQ and enough meat for myself only, ride all day, take photos, and then turn up next time and everything will be fixed for me?
Didn't think so.
