I have followed the "Sedrama" for years now and have met with a couple of the "alleged" :ninja: trail builders. One thing that I can say about the MTB'ers there (including the Prescott area) is that they show up for build days, meetings, and stay on point as a mostly united group. Yes, Traildoc has been banned from the area and on the forum (a couple of times now) but it would be hard to find another person as passionate about trails. He does know how to stir the pot..
The city of Prescott as a whole really gets it and I mean the whole town, not just bikers. That city promotes all types of outdoor events and the local economy is better for it (and my property values :mrgreen: )

San Diego just doesn't have the real estate to work with any more and now we have to fight for ever little local poach trail we can get. The last open areas are MTRP and Otay mesa and you know what's happening there...

San Diego: Are you listening to your tax payers?

I always enjoyed Traildoc on MTBR and while he could be a little out there at times, he was way more entertaining than he was annoying. He definitely wasn't politically correct but I'm still not sure why he was banned on the forums. I'll never forget about one of his rants (that I generally agreed with) about a trail getting closed after a piece of Native American pottery (or something similar) was found on a trail so the trail had to be closed.

A couple friends of mine who went to Sedona last October for the first time actually rode with Traildoc a couple days and had nothing but praise for him.
