The Death Of Post Office - Bicycle Nightmares

[@ivanmatearajkov]

R.I.P post office. There was a gopro video of it a couple of years back and it was one of the major reasons I got into mtb at all. Post office truly inspired many.

[@jakezahniser]

R.I.P hometown Aptos Post Office Bike Jumps

[@LunarFlameFireArt]

You beautifully orchestrated such a heart wrenching and horrible time... My heart cries for mountain bikers everywhere. RIP Post Office.

[@durangobrando]

Twenty nine years is a ripe old age for a jump zone. I can remember back to 1986, and our bmx jump spot. (A little pimple of a spot compared to Post Office) We had four, straight-line jumps in a wooded spot in town. It's long since been turned to town houses, and even the woods are gone. Progress, I guess. RIP Post Office.

[@jamesdelaney6325]

these jumps both got me into mtb and out so sad I'm tearing up

[@cassymae9468]

They should make a movie out of this. It's be pretty interesting

[@didavidka1]

R.I.P Post Office .Its truly a sad story...but keep it up,thats just a beginning of something new.

[@knordberg]

So sad. I remember when they cut down our neighborhood forest for a new housing development. That off-road trail was around before mt. bikes were even invented. But we dirt rode with our heavy Schwann 5-speed stick shifter bikes and loved it.

[@joss67uk]

Sad to watch,I know what a place like that means to people,whether at school or work spending all day looking forward to riding there,hanging out and forgetting your troubles. Remember the good times and take that experience with you to your new place. Signed and shared,good luck from the UK.

[@dedelabinouze5110]

Beautiful video.. One of this park that launched me into mtb, a very sad moment for the mtb world..

[@matt_boltz]

can't believe they're gone, RIP post office trails.

[@TheSnero3]

It is amazing how sometimes places and things can mean so much to us.

[@jesterlyone]

How sad. I'm kinda shocked with all that air that no one convinced the bulldozer to park between two jumps for a minute and everyone jump it.

[@specializedforever]

or get the bulldozer to destroy the jump as the last guy jumped

[@aidanduffy1593]

Just cried myself to sleep watching this.

[@OskarAdamson]

I've never been and was never planning on going, but I was still sad

[@TonyCarusoMTB4LIFE]

Sorry for your loss.

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

Same thing happened in my home town.

[@wyattrogers1451]

Yeah

[@MrGvstonehead]

One of the saddest videos ever.

[@lacksbro]

the two people who gave this video a thumbs down; one was the guy in the bulldozer. the other was the guy who shut this shit down

[@owenhergel7933]

this video actually made me cry

[@crumblenoob]

Man how heartbreaking. Was there ever a replacement lot found? I know there are a number of smaller dirt jump spots around but Post Office looked like a different tier.

[@mikeymcdermott7579]

Sick video, that song is from danny mackaskills 2009 edit and thats basically what got me into mtb and stuff

[@LMurphy789]

I miss it, it’s where it all started for me

[@Rick9482]

I thought I was going to see some tragic accident or something. The demise of a loved BMX park is a bummer but sounds like the owner treated this BMX community very well for a long time. Time to take all that passion and organize a rebuild in another location. Good luck! I thought it was a terrific video.

[@cdoooc2542]

this is the type of comment that doesn't need to be posted

[@Rick9482]

Chris Dougherty I'm curious as to what part of my comment has upset you?

[@natopenshaw4896]

+Rick9482 cos it was a dirtjump park not bmx i think

[@Scott.Jourdain]

Best video of post office I've seen!

[@MichaelTV44]

Goodbye post office I remember the first time I heard about it was 2010 go pro video with Aaron Chase and Brandon Seminuk and many other riders so many careers build here thank you post office for making slope style mountain biking what it is today!

[@audiotestchanneltm]

RIP Post Office jumps :'(

[@briansprout]

Help us get the new location! Please leave a message of support here: www.postofficejumps.org/showsupport/ #SpiritOfPostOffice

[@downhilbikr]

[@teamaptos70]

Great video. Has a location site been found yet?

[@kojishibata2143]

Very Nice Video. I Like it.

[@fullsizeoffroad7560]

R.I.P.

[@이지인-h1c]

R.I.P...... from korea....

[@brandohim]

Heartbreaking bro.

[@SpecializedP2Ler]

wish I got the chance to ride there. the post office is missed by all bikers

[@MyOliver16]

creo que llorare :(

[@RuKaylee]

Why did they demolish them?

[@Dirt.carver]

Countless hours destroyed in moments...

[@NitzanPapir]

why did they destroy it?

[@LunarFlameFireArt]

ASK Barry Swenson Builder he bought the property years ago and is now developing it... he does not even live in our town. He's a multimillionaire that wants to make more money off developing and leasing land.

[@AlexEffertz]

s much as it sucks, you can't blame the guy for wanting to build on his land. Just be thankful he allowed you guys to use it the past years.

[@danielleblack5878]

Andre'a LockedOnPhotog Then Fuck barry swenson...what a little bitch #AptosBornAndRaised

[@MrBikeguy99]

whats the reason for that

[@Dirt.carver]

Fuckin' made me cry

[@colombiano5554]

why?

[@danin1735]

SONG'S?:O

[@davidjuhar983]

The Funeral by Band Of Horses / Society by Eddie Vedder

[@davidmckean4221]

Should have shown some BMX. We are all in this together.

[@Rob-mb1qf]

There was a few guys on bmx, just was mainly populated with mtb

[@davijulio7603]

Snif snif snif woooohhhoooo

[@razor23ism]

so why did it get destroyed ?

[@mkohagan]

Someone else probably owns it, so when they realised they needed the land, that's probably why they decided to destroy it

[@briansprout]

It was always a temporary park. The land owner, Barry Swenson Builder, leased the land to the county for $1 per year so the jumps could stay. Now the owner is going to build out the property. Everyone knew it was temporary, and it lasted much longer than anyone expected.

[@mkohagan]

Brian Peterson My guess was right aha!

[@AdventurewithSimon]

Brian Peterson That was nice of the land owner to let the riders use it. A $1 a year lease is generous, and while it sucks the jumps are gone, now the boys will build something even better from scratch on a new plot of land that can hopefully survive even longer. I know what it is like to lose your home spot - it happened to us a year ago when the counsel destroyed it. :(

[@mikeymcdermott7579]

you cant build on council land because its public property but if you use private land they cant do shit. Me and my friends use private land for out mx bikes and were gonna build jumps soon

[@tigerwoods2814]

ho is coldman?

[@hamishhart1854]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo =(

[@thepatograper2420]

So sad :(

[@CJinsoo]

Hopefully all the bikers learned a great lesson about aspiring to own property and being able to provide this to tohers. Get a job, do well, own your own property and build trails.

[@CJinsoo]

@@danielleblack9571 your comments makes zero sense. whether you take something with you in the after-life doesn’t matter. ownership is in the here and now, and something that you have legal control over. goes well with institutions like legally defined and transferable property rights. you know, you can form a Trust and deed the land to the trust, and define what happens to the land through the Trust? So, you can define what the property is used for over generations. You can do this for land that will be preserved as a nature conservancy, for example, wetlands habitat, or bike trails, or a pump track. that’s the beauty of private ownership.

[@michaelbarrett3333]

THIS DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sebmeister8483]

Go and destroy the house of person who owned it, this was a home to many bike riders. Destroying the park was like destroying a home.

[@AlexeiPavlov]

with this attitude, you ll be in jail soon

[@sebmeister8483]

This is sad ;(

[@davijulio7603]

Alguém 02/09/17

[@nickbeall2353]

Hope they had a good reason to bulldoze those down

[@lukedivinere5522]

Nooooo

[@mk.Aud1o]

Надо было прикинуться толпой обезумевших зомби и сожрать тракториста без соли!

[@danielleblack5878]

THIS IS FUCKED. Every year they take away something else that makes home "home" for me, the things that I come back to this town for. The memories made won't fade away, but stop trying to take the heart out of our city, dammit! Keep the spirit alive!!

[@lovsixk]

:(

[@santicarrizo9750]

wtf? =(

[@reevesripper]

#rippostoffice Barry swenson sucks! so sad;(. got to ride them a couple of times! sad :(

[@tobiastorgersen4016]
