DeltaOscar Posted January 5, 2009 Share Just want to pass on/warn of a scary event yesterday at Majik Forest: At the bottom piece of singletrack where it runs alongside the dam I was in my flow and railing along when bam! I felt an impact on the front of my head and pressure pulling me off the bike, then snap! pressure was gone.WTF?I went back to check it out and found a length of fishing line had been tied across the trail at head height from tree to tree.Very luckily it connected my helmet and shades, then snapped before it did any damage to me.If I wasn't wearing shades I could have lost an eye for sure, or if it had been a bit lower, at throat height.... I don't ride there often and am unaware of any local politics/fueds with fishermen?I'm hoping it's just some dumb kids. I think I'll stick to Tokai - I'll take the puffys and the baboons any day over the dumbest species on the planet.Why is it always people that f*#k things up?

brussel Posted January 5, 2009 Share that sux...I ride there regularly as I live less than 3 minutes ride from the bottom, and the speed I come down there some days I might just take my head off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
