I agree.
This new spot got blown up within days, its actually at a busy intersection and visible from the road; however we have permission from the land owner which makes up for it. Its really motivating having 10+ people digging at a time, we actually have people fighting over shovels at times because there are more diggers than shovels.

I'd definitely have too many diggers than too many empty shovels. It rocks.

you live in england.  so?  youve got some of the best trails in existance in your country.  multiple ones at that.


come live in the desert.  where it rains less that 2 inches a year. the soil is sand with very few areas of clay. we have no creeks or ponds to bucket water out of to even maintain things once built.

you wanna know how long our trail season lasts?   the week after it rains. thats pretty much it. unless youre lucky enough to find a spot to dig at where you can find some sort of water access which damn near never happen around these parts.

sorry to blow up on you. but your post calling someone out for being lazy/moaning about not having trails. not everyone has it as lucky as you do. id kill to live in england and have the trails you can ride whenever you want.


Pretty sure Bitzer doesnt live in the desert. Obviously there are exeptions where you literally cant dig trails.
Kinchy is moaning about people who live in perfectly good area's to build but who are just too lazy to do anything.

Other people finally manned up to hit the berm gap.

Some idiot also cut out the tree, so now I am going to build that roller up bigger and make so you have to jump the gap.

It is. But it's not an acceptable excuse.

The good times far outweigh the boredom.

I couldnt get the pictures to work either, but they do look good those trails. I feel bad for not digging for the past couple of weeks but theres been shit loads of snow. Cant wait to get back on it.

I'd have to ride alone as well though, since none of my mates are into bikes. Home-made trails don't seem that much fun by yourself.

Once trails are built you'd be surprised how many 'friends' you'll have show up.
