[FOXROX]

is there anyone in the hamburg hardyston or vernon area that would be interestd in building trails i have a perfect spot. and its just not worth building them for my self. if you are familiar with the hamburg area, it is up top of mountain road. i can get about 1 to 2 miles of single track with huge drops.

Are you getting permission with the town or county to do this?

I wouldn't blaze a foot of new trail unless approval and/or JORBA backing is included. You are asking for lots of trouble otherwise.

That's all well and good for a while. That was the "understanding" at Glen Park until the property owner had enough and threatened to call the police on anyone shuttling into his property.

My best friends Bryan (fastbandit),Ryan (timekiller) and myself built a small trick park in Bryan's backyard last year. It is Bryan's own property, and we know that we have to block certain stunts so that local kids don't attempt something, get brutally hurt, then try to sue Bry. Even though it's private property and technically trespassing, it is still a liability issue.

Now, the point of the above is that you want to built stunts and obstacles on someone else's property. While he may be "cool" with some mountain biking trails now, as soon as some random 13-year old ventures back there and breaks his back falling off a ladder bridge or drop and decides to file a lawsuit against the property owner, I am sure s*** will hit the fan.

While the backwoods freeride stuff is fun, it's important that the right contacts are made and the right agreements are reached to do this stuff as legally as possible. It's also important that you have enough construction knowhow that your stuff doesn't shift or collapse under someone.

i have trails up there but i am making new ones i have found a few people who will build but we are waiting until the ball because it is so grown in.

[NJMX835]

Yeah, everything I started on in the spring is overgrown right now.

I'm going to scout a new run this week, if it turns out to be shuttleable I'll hip some of the locals to it if anybody wants to do work on it.
