Hi guys, just found this forum (and this thread). I have too say I'm dissapointed. I have been riding Kentlyn (and doing burnouts in the cudlesac ) for years now. I find it unacceptable that you think you guys own the bush. If you actually built trails that ddint resemble a soft XC then maybe me and my crew wouldnt care, but when I rock up there to find an infestation of "ant hills", I dont know what to do. And who decided to put a pallet in the middle of road gap??????????? My mate greg spent some time in hospital thanks to that. If you decide to block off a bit of the track where your carrying a fair bit of speed, it might be an idea to let people know earlier in the track. I've told greg about the photos of the pallets in this thread, and he has printed them off to take to police. This is a serious matter, you cant just block a trail because you want to add some new fairy line. So CraigS, if you were responsible for said pallets, greg would like to talk to you.
Kentlyn used to be a nice place to ride, now I think I'd prefer to take my XC bike
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but we did NOT put a pallet in the middle of the road gap. It is placed about 20-30m further down the trail after a sign saying track closed for maintenance. There are photos on here to prove this. No one here wants to see anyone get hurt while riding. The trail was closed so that the new (as you call it "ant hill") jumps can harden up as the soil out there is very sandy.
PS Theats of violence aren't going to get anyone anywhere as you have put it up on a public forum this too can be printed and taken to police.
I hope you realise that we are all trying to work towards the same goal, to have a place to ride our bikes and have fun. Nothing more.
No one owns the bush out there, it is crown land, the council know of the trails and are willing to put up with them, but I do believe that if there was any police involvement for any reason out there, they would be closed down overnight. Do you really want this to happen??? I'm sure there would be dozens of guys and girls on here that would not be very happy if this happened.
