This morning I went down to my local track, Black Betty, to do some work on cutting the lower half of the trail after some light rain earlier on.
When I arrived at the main drop, I discovered that some little sh*t had removed the structure, and moved all the large pieces of rock that the takeoff was sitting on, closer to the landing; in other words, modifying the drop to make it easier for them to hit.
If there's anything that really, reallly pisses me off, its that sort of disrespectful behaviour on a track that I spend many hours maintaining and working on. These boulders are too heavy to lift, and would have taken a good few hours to move, so whoever did it, did it with purpose and intention.
Also, on a very small rock drop further down, that is relatively new, I found a haggard piece of shore over it to roll down onto the landing. I spent half of my precious time fixing the whole lot today, instead of progressing with the trail cutting.
Another disturbing thing is the fact that somebody took it upon themselves to chop down a LIVE tree, near the top of the track to make a section slightly easier
Just a word of warning, if you are/aren't on farkin, and have been modifying the trail; If I EVER catch you, or anybody, modifying stunts on our track, especially to make it easier/better suited to your taste, you better lock up your wife and your daughter, your pet dog or your goldfish. I will come hunting for you.
Don't mess with the best.
