Looking for Dirt Jumpers

[chadconger]

I am looking for dirt jumpers to help me add dirt jumping trails to my new website http://www.dirt-jumping.com Is anyone willing to add the trails in their area? I am trying to build a directory of trails and help people find a place to ride and people to ride with.

[AirAddict]

that seems like a really good idea. It's pretty hard to find dirt jumps in some areas a lot of the time... But a lot of people arn't willing to post their local spot like that. They like to keep it mostly a secret to keep the traffic low.

[Boxxer]

Yup. What Addict said.

[Bicyclist]

I for one don't know anybody that would publish the location of their jumps, especially because many are illegal.

Nice work on the site so far. You seem to have a lot of good info on there. I aggree with what the others said though about locations.

exactly. it sucks that we have to build illegal trails. but sometimes thats the only way people get to ride. We have a spot here in LA the private land owner is aware of, and has been there for years. we're reallyl lucky to have this spot as just finding dirt trails around here are few and far apart.

[chadconger]

Thanks for the input. Hopefully I will be able to find some people that own some trails or know where there are legal trails.

I also hope people will start using the forums to find people to help them build trails.

I will be adding a lot to the site I've been working on it for about a week and a half so there is more to come.

I am going to try and find the some land in the Tampa Bay area FL to build some trails. I'll keep everyone updated on the status of my project if there is anyone near this area.

Hey,
I am in the tampa area and me and some buddies ride let me know if you want to ride or you want some help.

I can say this............if our trails show up on your website, I'll be very persistent in bugging you to tell me who submitted the info:D

[CRoss]

I could add mine but they will be gone once the snow melts.

I saw those pics.

You're my new hero.

Is everyone afraid that people will search the website so they can find illegal trails to tear down or do you guy just not want to share?

I respect your privacy. I am just curious.

more traffic to hidden trails tends to raise public awareness. not to mention inconsiderate assho1es that ruin stuff. from destroying jumps to leaving trash all over the place. all it takes is one bad apple to ruin the bunch.

[chadconger]

I want to thank everyone for their input so far. It has been very helpful to understand why it is so hard to find trails for people just wanting to start out.

I may have come up with somewhat of a solution. Let me know what you think.

I have made all fields optional on the add trails form and added this note to it.

Note : If you want to keep your trails private or you are afraid to list them because they are in an illegal area, just list the Country, State, City, and a way to contact you. That way you can "screen" someone before you let them in on your secret area.

What do you think? Better?

I hope that I can find a way to help newbies get into the sport. The more people that ride, the more people there are to help build.

Pro BMX Riders
Here you can talk about your favorite mountain bike pros.

oxi - in your forum.

buysell

to start. as it grows ad all the others.
but only when asked or you feel its needed.


o i added my trails. they are found by the city now. there fate is undecided as of now.

[chadconger]

I think you have a point about the forums. I am going to downsize it and allow it to grow. Good idea:clapping: .

Thanks for adding to the database. Any info can be helpful. If someone finds out that there are trails in their area at least they can ask around instead of just giving up.

[kidwoo]

not to mention inconsiderate assho1es that ruin stuff.

Like guys on 50s.:busted:

[chadconger]

My forum has members!:clapping: Thanks to everyone that has helped me out at this forum!

Ditch the blue text on dark grey background.

It's almost impossible to read.

[chadconger]

It is kinda hard to read. What color do you think would be good?

[kidwoo]

If you want to keep the background color? I don't know maybe just put the links on bold black?

Can you just pull up a blank with your background color and just go through what options you have on your pallet?

Site looks good btw.....
