Howdy all,
I am freaking tired of cool trails getting shut down, so I am going to build my own. I am currently checking out land for sale in the Santa Cruz mountains. I am also working with a lawyer to set up waivers and insurance. The plan is to build well made double-black diamond trails in the Bay area that are LEGAL. The downside is that I will REQUIRE that everyone sign a waiver and PAY for insurance. It looks like you will have to join a club to get access to the trails, not my preference, but the way it's got to be.
If you want to know why just read any of the threads about places being shut down. Right now I am in the early stages, and would like useful recommendations, and any help people can give. Even a is appreciated at this point.
As this progresses I will need some skilled volunteer trailbuilders. I know you are out there, imagine KNOWING that you stuff will not be torn down. All the stunts will be Whistler quality. Built safe and built to last. I will keep everyone informed as this progresses. Anyone interested in helping get thing set up, feel free to drop me a line. Any leads on Lawyers willing to do some Pro Bono work would ROCK .
And no, there is NO CHANCE of me putting in a lift. If I get some sponsership I may be able to buy land we can shuttle Let me know if you have any sponsership leads. This is going to happen either way, but it could be way bigger with some corperate cash!
Also if you know someone selling forest land cheap (not on MLS I can search that myself) please let me know. Maybe someone who is pro bike and would like to see this happen.
