So miedosoracing1 are you a tree licker? You seem to take exception to people who have a negative opinion of tree lickers.
Tree Lickers don't like me and I don't like them. They can kiss my global warming ass.
Thats the key keeping the neighbors happy. Giving them a reason not to be annoyed by the bikes instead of dropping 2 db where they can still hear them plain as day anyways.
I posted facts that you seem to have ignored. I guess they didn't fit your agenda? There are a couple of rangers that post on the So Cal mtb boards and they've pretty much indicated why bootleg stuff gets shut down.
Two reasons: liability ... and it's closed to riding. They may be trying to re-grow ground cover on a bare area or who knows. The point is you're trespassing and building on property they don't want you on. And if you went and broke your spine off some hip jump on one of those trails ... you and your lawyer could be looking to squeeze $$$ out of the city or county.
You might as well blame the PI attorneys if you really need to blame someone. If you want more riding areas you have to work within the system.
And I've built plenty of bootleg stuff ( both MX and DH ). You takes your chances and accept it's only a matter of time.

Not for sound issues though.
Creating a track or any other structure like these on public property creates liability issues. If you get hurt riding the trail you sue the landowner. If the landowner knew about the track and didn't dismantle it then they assume the liability for it.
Would you run a track open to the public without the correct liability insurance? Would you pay for the insurance if the track generated no income?
I am not sure we are a bigger group tho and I doubt we have as much money.
Take Action!
Contact your Senators and Representative to Oppose!
A recently obtained internal document from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) shows the Obama Administration is considering a recommendation to designate over 13 million acres of public and private lands in 11 western states as National Monument areas without any public debate. The western states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. This unilateral action by the Administration could potentially prohibit off-highway riding in the affected areas.
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) sent a letter in response to this internal document to DOI's Secretary Ken Salazar, dated February 18, opposing the recommendation to designate areas as National Monuments without any public input. In the letter, the AMA strongly recommended to the Secretary to "reconsider this approach and urge you to reach out to potential affected user groups, local and state elected officials and Congress for input before the disposition of any proclamations pursuant to the Antiquities Act of 1906 (Act)."
The AMA opposes any unilateral executive declarations that do not allow full public debate on the disposition of public lands. Indeed, each of these designations deserves to be considered individually to allow time for thoughtful deliberation and input from affected user groups, local and state elected officials and Congress before any proclamations are made pursuant to the Act. The AMA urges its members to contact their federal elected officials and request that they oppose the Administration's efforts to designate areas as National Monuments without congressional input.
You can find contact information for your elected officials at AmericanMotorcyclist.com >Rights > Issues & Legislation, then enter your zip code in the "Find your Officials" box. Additionally, a prewritten e-mail is available for you to send to your federal elected official immediately by following the "Take Action" option and entering your information.
Please write or call your Senators and Representative today and ask them to oppose the Administration's efforts to designate areas as National Monuments without public or congressional input.
Be interesting to see what the next BS reason someone will come up with to explain my position........guess it is too difficult for some to grasp I just don't like loud four strokes.
