After the Forestry Commission trashed our trails I went back up and have built a Northshore Freeride park.
It is just down the firetrack from the Mopeds crossroads. It partly blocks the fire track but people can just walk round it.
Photo to follow soon

I am a freeride legend!!
gnarly
The photo perspective doesn't really show the yawning chasm spanned by the log.
Nice
That needs chicken wire imho, dangerous as in the wet, don't want any more accidents in there. I suspect it will be torn down soon enough though due to it being too high risk, especially with people hitting it up without a full facer and pads on (crazy).
THIS ILLEGAL TRAIL BUILDING HAS TO STOP!
Down with this sort of thing
I had do it twice as the first time I wasn't wearing a helmet!
illegal building of trail on other peoples land is one thing but I couldn't risk being seen riding without a helmet.
How long before I can expect the sound of the police helicopter and the front door being kicked in?
nick, you rulez.
I give it a few days before the local stickman finds it and puts logs across it.
woaaahhhh, the run in looks pretty gnar too, and the drop is straight out onto the fireroad
they'll burn down the forest for this
that will be bulldozed along with the trees in the background so you cant rebuild..
Lol 🙂
Missed that trail feature this morning. Though I did find someone has built a jump in the middle of one of the heavily used footpaths that run along the motorway (the left hand branch).
Seriously they are just asking for the whirling tractor of devastation to take another of our classic runs.
I am going up right away to check this out!
What tyres for Lordshore Nick?

You're not kidding. First time up there this morning walking the dogs to have a look at the FC's "ecological policy" and I thought it was a f***ing disgrace.
Feel the stoke! 😆
Nick, for a guy with such phat skillz, you actually seem to have lost a bit of weight since last BBB.
Rad Nick, totally owning it 😉 (so my kids told me to say!)
Wade'll be over soon to go big.

Jesus Christ nick, you're looking rather trim there!
Been iDieting have we? 🙂
Has this been Strava'd yet??
Time to invest in some full body Armour + a skills course before i even attempt that bit of track!
Nick, You have way too much time on your hands!
I believe his weight loss is due all the digging he's been doing up
at the sports centre. Plus more recently he has actually had to work for a living. 😆
Whilst i appreciate that someone has taken time and effort to build the new jump that DT78 refers too, would it be worth us putting it out of action to avoid another round of FC OTT destruction? Although im not sure which trail DT78 is referring to.
He is talking about The Horse Trail. I rode it today and was a bit surprised by it but it was roll-able.
Not sure if people know that the trail he is talking about was put in by bikers as an alternative to the 'footpath' that forms the main trail.
The bl00dy walkers are doing 'cheeky' walking on the bike trails we build to avoid conflict on the main trails.
I would leave the jump in situ as it would take real effort to get a digger down there and it is easily rollable.
Fair enough. Was just thinking that if we were to "self-police" anything we [u]consider[/u] "inappropriate" , might mean the FC leave the rest of the place alone.
