I don't think a lot of riders realize that the property is (mostly) privately owned. If someone came into my backyard and built a massive gap jump and then all the neighbourhood kids came and rode it, I'd be freaked out (it's bad enough having a trampoline). So I can see how the Vicarro ranch owners feel about what's going on. My hope is that when the jumps come down, everyone does their part and stops building new ones. It seems like every time I ride Ledgeview someone has dug up a bunch of dirt to build another stunt. If you feel the need to ride that stuff, there are plenty of spots around to do so. Or build them along the Sandy Hill gas pipeline right-of-way if you feel the need to create new ones. I hope I'm not coming across as a grumpy old cross country rider. I enjoy riding these trails, and my son has started to enjoy them as well. I'd just hate for everything to be gone because of a few overzealous builders.
