I am new back to the area of Syracuse, after 5 years of the Army telling me where to live, and am just learning about Skytop for the first time.
Some of the tracks are nearly suicidal, and most of the jumps are a little out of my league. Regardless there are some nice tracks there, I am more interested in the mountain bike single track.
This is the only forum I have found where they even mention Skytop so I am hoping that you guys know something about it. Rumor is, last year someone was killed while biking. With the insane jumps and the close proximety the cliffs are to the tracks I don't doubt it.
Because of this, the rumor is that the police chased everyone off the mountain. While I was there this weekend I saw no police, but at the same time no bikers either. I thought this strange as most other single tracks I go to, I always see someone else. I have never seen anyone on Skytop, I am going to add some pictures of what is on Skytop so you can understand why I think this is strange. Bottom line, I want to know if the police did shut this park down.
