me and my friend are working on a dirt jump trail. some dude comes out and tells us it isn't a good idea because "someone" might call the cops.

fast forward to 30 minutes later, officer comes and makes us tear down the jumps(what there was of them). she came through the old dude's backyard so 2 and 2.....

Don't people have anything better to do with their time these days?

no they dont, just like the trail nazi...

but i cant believe that a cop would actually respond to a crappy call like that. who cares if a couple if kids are making a jump. next time they do that say "ok, from now on we'll hang around downtown shootin up and running away from home, then you'll have a different call about me"

that'll show em whos boss

gone gone and gone

all our spots that are hidden get found, torn down, etc. etc

plus this bike park thing isn't going to happen for a few years at least I'm guessing. all it boils down to is one old man on a power trip. He did this last year too.

Man i feel for you guys. when i was a kid we built jumps, crashed with no helmets, broke shi% and no one complained.
This is a sad sorry world we live in whe a kid can't be a kid:(

Damn that sucks. Can the cops actually tell you to tear them down? What kinda laws does building jumps on city land break?

Hahaha, I live south of town and municipal laws are different, my neighbour hood is the one with the farm, junk yard, trailer park, and various other trailers (one with a junk yard in it!). I got a PERFECT spot to build DJ's, and theres dirt around it too, the land is owned by the guy in the trailer with the mini junk yard in his yard, he's a really nice guy too and I think he'll let us build there.

They will be known as simply "the ghetto" :D Theres an old car shell already there we can move to jump too, and ill put out a few lawn chairs.

Hey Ravi is it that big flat area by your house?
If it is let's phone the city and ask them if we can use it, and get a permit or something. I'll help out. Then when that swine comes out we can show him the papers and tell him to go back to watching Matlock.

Or let's go work on the church jumps and make em bigger and better.

It is the spot right next to my house. The dirt is PRIMO for building, it isn't that dusty shit you get at the church. Yeah, for sure, let's try and see what we can do. It would be awesome to be able to have a dirt jump park in the neighborhood. The possibilities for that area are endless, there is that huge hill to ride down to get speed, theres a cement wall ride perfectly setup, golden dirt to dig, etc. etc.

that sucks, but its the nature of people. what they dont understand they cant bear to see. you just have to keep buildin em up in different spots untill you get left alone(i know its hard to find good locations)

anyhowww,
I say we do up the church jumps. The church gave us that piece of land so long as we take care of it, why not use it?
I'll be working down there either way.

Ravi......as much as you want to use that spot....it just isn't gonna fly there.
Didn't you try last yr too?

You gotta go OUT. Away from the buttheads.

Go up into Aberdeen.....the woodwork that was up there was taken down.....but that doesn't mean you can't go mold up a few mounds:)

I assume you mean Cole Hill?
I tried digging up there. The whole mountain is rock solid! It's nuts! There is a thin layer of dirt and under, everywhere is like an inch of rocks. What we really need is a bobcat.

Sucks about your jumps, but I really suggest you try "the church land," don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Yeah, I guess. Is it really too much to want a jump park with nice dirt and no little groms? ahhh welll
