I would totally appreciate this as well! I've ran half marathons in "Clydesdale" class. It would be great to have this for one race. I'm 300 right now.

I like the sign with the AMSA listed.... we might be able to help with cost. we have paid for signage in the past at Emma.

Doesn't look like a pump track in that video.

Yes. Hammer it home. Insure no ambiguity. "What YOU are doing will screw it up for ALL of us"

Again, not to get too specific, but what is this saying to the person doing the cutting? Trail closure? For a weekend? For a month? For motos? For bikes? All the trail? Part of the trail? Still too nebulous in my mind. Think about the message (I'm in marketing, it's my job): 1. Identify the bonewipe here (i.e. the person doing the cutting) 2. Specify EXACTLY what is wrong (i.e. cutting cheater lines, not "new trail") 3. Explain what happens if they don't stop (i.e. WE lose access, forever.) "Altering trails will get bikes permanently banned from this park. " City park does get closed from time to time for Moto races or other things. Saying trail closure does not really specify what is at stake. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you so much for your help today! We're going to test the jumps tomorrow. They wouldn't be running without your effort!

3. 😁 I'm glad to help out when I can. I really appreciate the work you guys have put in so far and this place is going to be a complete gem.

And . . . with the help of Mark (Radiantm . . . something, I forget) we got the jump lines running tonight. Still a bit rough, be careful, but rideable. Thanks, Mark!

Yeah, might be hard to beat though. Looks like $110 gets you front and rear with tires and tubes.

Great suggestions! 👍 How about this?

People who create B trails are probably aware that they are doing something that at best is frowned at, and at worse illegal. But they do it anyway. The key to signage working is targeting the underlying driver/motivation. Just look at billboards and you'll see 99% of them are poor signage as they target the advertiser's desired messaging and not the mindset of the consumer. In the above sign, the word "...Establishment..." is used right up front. That smacks of the haughty/pompous government speak/disposition and will immediately cause a divisive attitude in the minds of those who are set on creating alternate trail sections. Using simpler language is usually less confrontational... And more clearly to the specific point. Maybe something like... "Cutting Cheater Lines Will Get This Trail Closed By Park Authority" Might work better. "...Cutting Cheater..." identifies what is actually being done, and insults those who ride these unauthorized lines. And most mountain bikers don't like to be insulted. "...Will Get This Trail Closed..." identifies what users don't want to happen... And identifies those who cut cheater lines as being enemies of those who don't want the trail to risk being closed. Now some riders might not know what a cheater line is... But I'm sure most who ride at Emma Long do know... And those who don't, when they see the sign, will be curious enough to ask. And most mountain bikers that I've come across want to be considered a member of the wider mtb community... Which means not being — or doing — something against it. Wow... Check that out... While I was writing the above I see that AustinBike was kind of thinking the same thing.

HuckNorris instead of CrushCore, but yeah, me too. I don't even carry tubes anymore, just bacon and a pump or CO2. And HuckNorris solved my primary source of flats anyway--tire pinch flats. I used to get them often, now not one since installing the inserts 5250 miles ago.

250 with race gear. There’s no regulation of race gear. Take care of yourself. Add what you must. I have no issues with beating you “lightweights”!! Bring it on!! I just want to be competitive! Let’s have fun!!

Heck yeah! I WILL sign up for this event! Looking forward to racing against my fellow competitors with “dad bods”!! Looking forward to it!!
