2010s smart kid option:

Go to the land owner, get written permission for you and your friend, and have the other guys arrested when they trespass onto the trails.

[Allah]

And afterwards don't jump anything, just spend all your time using the lips for practicing freecoastering.

Your option actually makes sense compared to my smartass response.

Here is your problem solver........

You drink the beer???  Then bring a shit ton of beer down there and share it with the old locals. 

You do drugs?  Bring a couple of joints or a peace pipe down there and light that mother up. 

You straight edge?  Bring down some gym shorts and a pair of running shoes and fight everybody. 

All three options will lead to a rekindling of the scene.  BOOM.  Now you have more people to ride with, more people to dig with, and more people to mooch beer/drugs/fight on a regular basis.

A bit OT but Eggit have you done any mods to your bike recently or any recent riding photos to share?

Not really. I mentioned it on here, but I messed up my knee really bad a few years ago. I wasn't able to ride at all for 2 years, and now that I can its still pretty tough on it. I had a small crash on the trails one day and my knee swelled up really bad and I couldn't walk right for a week.
Its also a little bit depressing for me to ride, before the injury I was always at my happiness learning new things and pushing myself. Now I struggle to do the stuff that used to be easy and I am too scared to push myself.
I have been riding a lot of trials lately instead. Its a whole lot easier on my knee and I feel like the risk is smaller. I am also progressing at a huge rate so its really satisfying when you can feel yourself getting better every time you ride instead of being frustrated by not being able to do stuff you used to.

Getting old sucks.

i mean as long as you can still manual and hop curbs, eggit..
was cool seeing you and your bike at the trails, holla

homie just facebook posted pictures of some jumps that have been a secret for 15 years and dudes on there are getting irate

[weedbix]

Have you considered dabbling in flatland?

[Eggit2]

Have you considered dabbling in flatland?

Yes, but I am not good at it. It took me a solid year to learn hang fives. A lot of flatland "crashes" are super hard on my knee too. Stomping something out or even having to run for a short period puts me in pain.

[weedbix]

That's a real shame, I hope it gets resolved somehow

[dude...]

yeah joints are shit

[Sammm]

i miss eggits old bikechecks, dope mods on there for sure. shame they're not on the current server or whatever.

re jumps. i've honestly never ridden trails and therefore never understood trail beef. i think if they've been abandoned for 2 years, fuck em. You wanted to ride so you did what was necessary. It's not as if you've turned it into a bmx only skatepark, you just took what they left to rot and fixed it up. i dont see why they'd be mad about this?
fuck 26" in general, still sour towards people doing tricks on anything other than a bmx. dont get me started on FGFS

this made me lol

[skateparkrider]

You laugh, but it would totally work.  Especially if they were all straight edge.  Nothing makes dudes super tight friends faster than whooping each other's ass.  FACT.
