South Geek Slide Molested?

Whos land is it ? BLM ? State ? Maybe we should use his pictures and post to have him arrested for vandalism of Fed Land. Time spent is never shorted in a Fed Facility.

I paid BLM $120 for riding on a hill near one of the Trona Pinnacles. Can you imagine what would have happened if I took a mini-sledge to the trail ?
 
I’d like confirmation from someone who has ridden THE Geek Slide. Assuming it’s the rock step-up heading east out of Gohler Gultch, then I rode it last weekend and was shocked to realize that (at least I think) it’s at the heart of this controversy over on the D37 DS forum:

There are before & after pictures attached on the first post. If someone who knows for sure could conform I’d appreciate it.

I don’t have a dog in the fight on the district forum, but I do think it’s shitty that someone would so blatantly modify a feature on a trail that has become a fixture in so many rides for their own personal gain…

If I’m right and you agree, I encourage you to chime in and voice your opinion. If I’m wrong, please set me straight. My opinion doesn’t change on ‘dumbing down’ a trail, but I’d like to know if I’ve at least got the location correct-
Thanks,

Chad

The last time I rode "The Geek Slide" was with CDA in February 2012. It looked nothing like this

I am not sure you are talking about the same trail. I need to get home and look. In the mean time here is the link to pics and video of the adventure CDA and I took.

Well I think that they took a preemptive step against Travace's planned post. :foul:

Now that I can post over there the thread has been closed.

i doubt it but LMAO if that was true holy shit my E-penis is HUGE right now... just the thought of my post gets shit shut down WHAT UP BITCHES!!!!
 
Damn, had to pack my wang up and go home...

Jerry Counts will not lose on second of sleep over that thread, but maybe some of his knee-jerk, penny-ante apologists will think twice before blindly backing someones play because (in their mind) they are beyond reproach. There seems to be a lot of "holier-than-thou" dementia floating around some of our dirt-bike elders lately, and oddly enough they all seem to march under the banner of the FOJ.

Good news however is that I'm about 95% sure that Rack and a few others that have cast doubt on the first picture Jerry posted are correct. I don't believe the first photo is of the step. I think Jerry wanted to boast about all the back-breaking work he had done, so he floated in a dummy photo to impress the cronies. Too bad it back-fired!!

The "before" and "after" photos he posted are largely the same except for perhaps smoothing out the very top edge of the slide. Even the before and after videos look almost identical, but I guess I'll never be able to bring it up on district and/or debate it further because the thread has been locked. Oh well...

The slide was assaulted, but I think the damage was kept to a minimum. I decree that "THE GEEK SLIDE LIVES"!

As long a we can keep idiots like Jerry from destroying it, it'll continue to provide years of blooper videos!

Jerry's ego got the better of him and it bit him in the ass!
 
well thanks for speaking up as best you could Neversurfaced. kinda lame they wont even give me the chance to speak over there. Thats some pussy shit.
