Don't destroy something that keeps people off the streets and out of trouble. It's their sport like football but their pitch isn't being destroyed so keep the jumps...

No way should this ever of happened, I can only see positive things coming from the trails so why should there be a ban? Ridiculous!!!!!!!!

Dirt jumping and building is the only thing for kids like them and me to do by where we live, its free for the council, we build away from people so it doesnt disturb them, it keeps us entertained and safe so what is so wrong about it? Those diggers ruined the area more than the riders.

These lads are doing something creative, constructive which means they're keeping out of trouble by doing something they love. Please dont take the opportunity for them to build their trails in these woods. They caused less harm than the digger did to plough them. Let them enjoy their childhood in the woods, instead of the streets.

I guess the kids will grow up and do drugs now there's nothing to do around here, but that's ok as long as the mud isn't dug up I guess!

Pointless fighting against it Forestry Commision. Come on work with the lads, let's face it you don't mind benefitting from trails on your land when you're making a profit from them!

As a rider and builder, I find it important that people realize how much dirt jumps mean to us! My jumps have been plowed numerous times by my city and I am determined to fight for dirt jump builder's rights.

So unfair I really feel for you guys. It's just typical of this country. If people are having fun someone just gets kicks out of ruining it. I really hope you can get this sorted

I know this feeling too well, I've had so many jumps and trails torn down with some lame excuse about "damaging trees" even though no trees were touched in the process. It's ridiculous. If you want to stop vandalism and drug abuse then don't go taking away what us good honest guys do instead. That just creates more vandals and drug users because it gets to a point where we give up because having our trails ploughed is almost inevitable. What kind of joke government runs this country? Who solves problems by taking away solutions to them?! You will never stop me building trails. I will die with a shovel in 1 hand and my bike in the other if necessary. The more you plough them, the more determined I am to give you the middle finger and build more trails. I'd much rather walk through the woods and see kids enjoying something they've built and having fun, and admiring the work they've put in to creating a beautiful set of trails, than just see more of the fame boring landscape and trees.

I know all to well how this feels its gutting! So many hours put in to build the trails of our dreams with some riders ending up representing our country for fat twats in suits to decide they can spoil it for large amouts of people, fucking joke, damaging trees? Why dont you sort out the thousands of miles of rainforest and make a real difference!!

I have had to happen to me, all the hard work put in taken away in a blink.... Only for them to cause more damage by getting a tractor up their. I'd rather look at a trail or jumps than tractor tracks any day.
