Danno:
The others sound like bellends and your mate has every right to be fixing them up as long as they aren't on private land or land that the others negotiated to dig on. If anyone turned up out the blue at our place they would get told where to go but we're in the middle of 190 acres of private woods with permission.

Prodigal Son:
Man, it really sucks finding a place to dig and rely on your efforts being intact day after day.

I fucking hate this in regards to pools. I put in effort draining them, cleaning, fixing holes (you know which one I'm talking about Erick). Then it gets blown up by people who because they find out are also entitled to ride it.

That being said, if it was common knowledge it was these guys spot and they call it foul, then I think they have some rights. Limited. Never the less, being outcast and evicted cannot be held up though.

Above all, this is Jordan's issue.

Is he camping at the trails?

Our buddy brought his daughter out there and the tent was so she had a place ti sit in the shade.

The dudes were out again today. One of them was really psyched on seeing everything fixed up, but still a little tense about some of the things we changed. We invited them to ride the new stuff and they seemed to agree that it is flowing better now. Things seem to be working out now, we all agreed that we all want the same thing and more people digging is never a bad thing.

Here's some pics showing the state of things before and after.

The landing on the left and the jump before it is one we fixed up, the one on the right was there, but actually one of the more intact jumps.

Old lip.

New lip.

Old and new lips.

I can understand where they are coming from, but to us these things looked abandoned. They definitely weren't doing anything this year, and I don't think anyone was fixing them up last year either. Had any of them been going out there for the last 2 months we definitely would have offered to help. Things are a bit tense, but hopefully we can all work together to make these things awesome.
I also don't want to turn this into a 20" vs 26" thing, but most of the other guys ride 26" so I think part of it was that they didn't care about the jumps being as smooth as we do.

master:
Private property or public? Who has permission, or are you all digging illegally?

Eggit2:
Private property, but an empty lot. Its had jumps on it for over a decade. One of those situations where the owner doesn't really care until he sells it.
Everyone in the area knows about them too, so its not a case of blowing up a secret spot or anything like that.
