There was a huge news report on all the "damage" caused by an unsanctioned jump park in the woods. When they talked to people, everyone said "they just need a place to do it right". There is a jump park in Beaverton, one in Forest Grove, and another in Cornelius. If there were half a many dirt jump parks as there were skate parks, it wouldn't be an issue.

Also how did they decide on that video?
Chicks on bikes shredding in the woods isn't destruction and disregard of nature and our families.
exactly JD. illegal trails are created because people want to build and ride. If given a place to do it legally the trails can be made safer as well as built to withstand holding up to the elements instead of possibly causing major errosion, etc.
They must be gay because I find that video to be hawt.
Wow... that website is a bunch of propaganda BS. MTN bikers and BMXers usually do an good job of taking care of the trails they ride. That group sounds like a bunch of old farts with nothing better to do than ruin a good thing.
Fvcking Baby Boomers. I can't wait until they're all dead.
I guess I'm lucky, we just have to line things with boulders so the ATVs and Jeeps (which are super illegal in the state forest) don't chew the faces off everything.
That video isn't helping their cause at all. Those girls looked to be having a blast at tame speeds and in total control. And I didn't see any vegitation or wildlife harmed.
They do kind of have a point. I see some shrubs being burned around the jumps sometimes.
so, who here is familiar with loic?
I couldn't find a contact link/email for the nutjob group. I'd *really* like to find one. 
ok. wow, i'm sloooow today.

HEY! I'm a baby boomer.
I'm also female and it makes me damned proud that they chose a video featuring awesome females in their anti-mtb site.
I wish I could ride like those girls!Seriously though, this kind of opposition is sad and small-minded, but it happens all the time in all kinds of areas. Typical NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) behavior that sometimes gets taken to the extreme of NOPE (not-on-planet-earth).
this kind of opposition is misguided concern and incorrect information at best, but delusional paranoia, blatant propaganda and lies, and outright hatred at worst.HEY! I'm a baby boomer.

Dare not tell them of Eagle Bike Park. It was built in people's back yards, directly into the foothills of Boise where many critters roam, in one of the nicest parts of town.

Send them the cease and desist letter first. Explain that they are, without permission either written or implied, using a copyrighted and privately held video to further their agenda.

They'll hopefully tell you to go screw yourself.
Sue for copyright infringement and ask for damages. Triple specific, along with any punitive and compensatory damages that the judge might deem fit.

My favorite quote from Hartman Park Protectors
"...when BMXers are not busy crushing vegetation and wildlife with their jumping activties, they will be busy destroying vegetation and wildlife on the rest of the trails."
so much insanity
