    Yeah, thanks for broadcasting to the world exactly where all these tracks are!

    I’m sure you will post on the routes you’ve made as well… But then again I imagine that list would be very short!

    How about respecting the people that dug these routes and not broadcasting them? A lot of effort goes into creating these. We are not employed to do so unlike the trail builders of official tracks. Which you would have no problem in showing people.

    I’m not saying that no one can ride them except those who built it. If people find them off their own back or are shown then there isn’t a lot we can do.

    You know how beat up these tracks can get very quickly, so why spoil it for us? It comes back to an issue of respect. It simply means new ones will not get dug…
    Then everybody suffers.

    Do us a favour and remove them before crap riders break their faces on them.

    Thats right guys give away all the names and locations of Dh tracks that we have built, so they can get found & ruined by thousands of punters. There good because not everyone knows about them.

    jpm, thanks for the comments. I am sympathetic to some of your points. Which tracks are you referring too? If it is BKS then I thought I’d been vague enough not to give the location away. Either way don’t overestimate the coverage of this website. And beware that giving it oxygen will only make things worse.

    Ed, you’ll upset “the punters”. Though I am flattered by your comments, you should not take us so seriously.

    It’s best not to mention it’s name nor whereabouts tbh. we’d appreciate it if you could remove it.
    I’m sure you realise, living there, that it is better to keep some things quiet.
