Riding Wonderland today I found one of the jumps newly rebuilt by Dotty, Aaron, Bob, Kyle and myself before May's timing day has been pretty comprehensively destroyed. The jump was fully boxed in with timber and secured with 8" coach bolts, taking it down would have involved an impressive level of effort. Some of the timber has been taken away, some of it is scattered about. All of the coach bolts have been taken. This has happened between Sunday 20th and Tuesday 22nd.
If you know who, or why someone went to such lengths to ruin a very rideable little jump with an established chicken line for those unwilling to hit it, please let me know.
It cannot have been a five minute job, someone must have seen whoever did it.

Well let's see then, +2 seconds on Moobs time on Sunday for calling me a cheesy chase trails builder and...  Seriously though, we had heard rumors that that jump was a bit too lippy, but the people that rode it with us liked it, so we left it. I liked it too...had to keep your speed in check it hit it perfect, but that added to the fun. But we could have easily removed a slat and lowered it 4" so it could be hit faster. Moobs, us chessy builders put in a lot of hard graft so you can come ride the trails and complain about them. We're happy to hear your comments tho, and we would have reduced that jump height if you would have made your thoughts better known. And BTW, yeah, Cannock is chav-city, but we don't think it was chavs. The timber and hardware has been removed, not just scattered about. They didn't leave a mess. Could have been XCers actually, who use Wonderland on their regular loops over there... It's quite bizarre really. And sorry if you guys are good enough to ride the new rock line...
