"hey this is a great ride, eh Jim?"

"yah totally Jack"

"hey Jim whats that?"

"buncha logs blocking off a line"

"DAMMIT! it must be the trail nazi!"

"well theres another line right over there…."

"NO WAY! its the trail Nazi! Who else would make a totally obvious blocking of a line right next to another line thats just been worked on? THAT DAMN TRAIL NAZI! We'll show him, let's just throw these logs out of the way where ever we feel. If they land on the other line, that's OK cuz it will teach that Nazi who's boss!"


HMMMMMMMM whats wrong with this???????
maybe that wasnt the work of a trail nazi but the hard work of the trail maintainer trying to stop unnecessary erosion by blocking off lines that he/she feels are uneeded. Just because the flat, wet rocks are too scary doesnt mean you and all your buddies have to drag your rear brake 4feet over from the proper line. QUIT DIKKIN' AROUND AND USE YOUR HEADS! JUST CUZ ITS FASTER OR EASIER DOSENT MEAN YOU HAVE TO UNBLOCK IT AND RIDE IT!!!!
IF YOU WANT TO CUT EVERY DAMN CORNER ON THE TRAIL BUILD YOUR OWN!

We have a winner!
If ya can't ride it, walk it. If ya can't walk it, go home.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Maybe paint a white line down the middle of the trail? :S ;)
