I know its an older video, but its a good one.

[@DaveCM]

When I was a police officer, there was a street that dead ended at a gate that led to a dirt road that was city property. People rode around the gate and down the dirt road to some trails they have made a very long time ago. I was called because someone put a wire across the trail they used to get around the gate. If they hadn't been lucky to spot it, someone could have been killed as it was right about neck height. Numerous times, lots of tacks and nails were found in the trail also. I was sure it was the homeowner at the end of the road, but couldn't prove it. He hated them riding through there even though they never went onto his property. Some people are just angry and want to find excuses to justify their anger.

[@Paul9]

We don’t really know which other bikers they’ve encountered in the past who might not ride as responsibly as yourself. Obviously leaving obstructions isn’t the answer. I think the issue is there are some really thoughtless mountain bikers out there. We have a gang of obese middle aged chaps who insist on blasting down our local footpaths every week without a care for anyone, not a shared trail, clearly marked as a footpath with ‘no mountain biking’ signs. There have been a few close calls with people, I’d hate to think of the damage they’d cause to a child or dog if they hit them at full pelt. I mountain bike myself and as long as you ride with the expectation that there could be a walker on a shared trail it’s all good.

I too service trails and have been confronted by people who feel they are more entitled than I to use the trails. They do the same stuff. I have learned they can not sabotage or block trails legally.

I slow down and ask politely to pass. the looks i get from them are that of pure entertainment, like how dare I ask them to move over.

[@pennypackmtb2542]

@Shadow Of Wiggin I've run into that also. Using my smart phone I've checked boundaries and then invited them to call law enforcement. I've also informed those that think because they own land next to public space, that they do not own it and have no personal rights to the area or can trespass anyone off of it.

[@Primalxbeast]

@@unkulwilly I've been on plenty of nature trails where bikes aren't allowed, so bikes aren't necessary for trails to exist if hikers are using them. Parks will often have areas where only hikers are allowed and mixed use trails. Even through random wooded areas there can be walking paths where there aren't any bikers. I don't understand why people wouldn't want to let you pass if you asked politely, and were riding safely, but trails would exist without bikers.

From a purely naturalistic view the less trails and footpaths there are in the countryside the more natural it is. Creating more trails therefore makes what remains of our countryside less natural.

"Trespassing" or not, it's illegal for them to deliberately set up dangerous booby traps to harm people that come onto their property or other's property, that's been well established in UK law. Even if their claim that you're trespassing was true they're still in the wrong and are on camera admitting it.

[@Leavon]

Only if there is an established footpath and those are well known and regulated. This is quite obviously not one of those and is being used unlawfully, if the property owner chose to fall trees across the illegal trail they are well within their right to do so. I swear this generation is so full of itself it's beyond pathetic.

[@G1NZOU]

@@Leavon incorrect, simply felling trees is one thing but doing so deliberately to block a trail and cause harm to someone coming down it counts as making a trap, which is specifically forbidden under the terms of using reasonable force to remove intruders. If they were the landowners which they're not, if they deliberately fell trees and someone ran into said trees onntheirbbike they'd potentially be liable under the Occupiers Liability Act 1984. This is not a "this generation" thing, this has been law for decades. Trespass is not a criminal offence. Also, how old do you think I am if you're bringing up age into this argument? Secondly this is not "being used unlawfully" as he has permission from the landowner.

today i was riding at a trail system called syncline in washington. it's on a famous cliff called coyote wall for anyone who is interested. as I was climbing, i noticed some oddly placed rocks. went over to check out the rocks and i discovers MANY other oddly placed rocks and it became very obvious that someone had put them there purposefully. I moved all of them, it took me about 5 minutes or less and nobody came down the trail as i was moving the rocks which was good. to put into perspective what the hitting the rocks while riding on coyote wall would potentially mean... about 10-15 feet to the right side of the trail is a 300+ foot drop and when i say "drop" i mean it's LITERALLY a cliff that will give you zero chance to grab something before you fall to your death. the fact that people ACTUALLY care THAT fucking much about stopping mtb'ers from riding there is shocking to me. syncline was found 20-30 years ago by the land owners who happened to love mountain biking so they turned their own land into an amazing biking spot and hikers eventually found it and started hiking there but because the land owners were cool people, they allowed it and word spread because of how great the place is. of course that meant lots of shitty people ended up going there and just assumed hikers had absolute right of way all the time

I'm an avid hiker for decades. In the 90s mountain biking blew up and the hiking community protested biking trails in the mountains. The argument was, the bikes damage the landscape. I said, biking hasn't changed the trails that much and if we really do care all about the impact on the landscape, we wouldn't allow hiking either. I never understood that argument. Safety, yeah. That was a huge issue back then. We met with some representatives of a MB group and came up with bikers: yell when coming up to blind areas, putting bells on their bikes or they would adjust their brakes so they made a humming sound so hikers know they're coming.

Good luck to your channel!

[@NathansBiking]

Thank you

[@RadioactiveHipsters]

Way to keep your cool man! Kindness kills and a great representation of mountain bikers. We just wanna ride

[@NathansBiking]

Thanks mate !!

[@CallahanOfficialMusic]

Busy bodies mate, thankfully we haven't seen too much trail sabotage at all down my neck of the woods (Essex) but its wrong whatever way you cut it. Wether you're trespassing or not, you can't knowingly potentially harm cyclists because you disapprove of them on your 'walking trail'.

except Sams yard, obvs :S

One of the first things I thought of when she said she was the owner was, "Got any proof of that?"

[@NathansBiking]

I know the owner's 👍🏻

[@portfoliochannel1819]

Well done. Kept calm, remained rational and explained the facts. I hate these conversations. I really don't understand why people make it more dangerous by putting things in the way.

[@NathansBiking]

Thank you !

[@Balasca]

Holy shit. I ride a lot of bridleways where I live and often come across things on the trails, like this. I never thought it was sabotage before.

[@meganNefarious]

People are also known to string up fishing line between the trees across the trail.. That's attempted murder IMO..

[@resurgem]

@@meganNefarious it has happened where I live on a sustrans cycle/ walking path. It could kill someone. Really nasty.

[@bostdell]

i must say ( although i am not a mountain biker) i would not have been so forgiving to find anyone making what are essentially traps on a trail. i think you were very restrained

[@nobogiedr]

If it's private property then you shouldn't ride it without permission

[@NathansBiking]

Yeah I have permission

[@MR.B00_]

Several months later the woman mysteriously disappears from the woods, and David Paulide's writes a few Missing 411 paragraphs about it.

lol , "I know the law better than you !!!!!" pmsl you should of asked them the manslaughter definition and meaning lmao

EVIL selfish minded people. So shocked that they would deliberately place obstacles that could seriously injure a mountain biker. Wonderful self composure dealing with irrational idiots. Well done. Fortunately in Scotland hikers & bikers share the countryside responsibly with mutual respect. You have a new subscriber.

[@johnmckenzie1623]

A horrible pair of entitled women. I don’t know how you stayed so calm.

[@NathansBiking]

Thank you , some people aren't seeing the point. But I guess you'll always get negative comments lol

[@dieselwilliams]

What is wrong with some people. I see trails as the same as shared Bicycle and pedestrian ways. Care just needs to be taken on both sides and we can all enjoy the forests together!

[@NathansBiking]

Exactly, there is even a walkers specific trail above this one. But I've met plenty of nice walkers and don't mind one bit

[@carolinehix6128]

Na, ive noticed more lately people are selfish twats on the trails. They hog the path with their extended family spread out, dogs running loose, if you just go pass them with plenty of space they expect you to thank them ???? Its getting worse. So now ive learned to treat them the same, skidding and being a bitch riding like an idiot. 😜

[@gnarthen9977]

Yes Nath lad. Well handled. One dislike, obviously one of these melters has figured out how to use the "you tubes video thingy". Absolute cleds.

[@NathansBiking]

Thanks mate ahah you always get the idiots !!

[@rudro2387]

this is why i always do one slow ride around the trail to make sure nothings obstructing my way

[@NathansBiking]

I did that morning actually, and there was nothing. But the previous day's there had been !

[@adamburgess6770]

You're far more polite than I'd have been

[@GeorgeMilkasIgore]

Causing deliberately harm and attempting to harm people doing any activity (sports, hike , walk , enjoying nature) should be punished by law. Whoever these people are need a lesson. Go guys ride more there!! 😀

[@NathansBiking]

My thoughts exactly, lucky no one was injured

[@rywieldsrods93]

Question is do they have permission from the landowner also for hiking the trail?

[@NathansBiking]

They didn't ! It also isn't a hiking trail that's over the hill

[@adude3446]

I love the hit markers when u yeeted those branches down
