Need some tips advise?? I Live in southern California and I'm Building this Really fun Flow trail Cut Into the Side of a Naked grassy Mountain no Forest to Hide under, I'm More than Half Finished Getting Closer to the Bottom, I started mid winter as the dirt has been Nice and Moist and I Have Not Had a Problem Until a few days ago I was Putting in some Hard work I was On a Roll getting a lot done and I Look down the Mountain and Oh shit a Forestry Truck Speeding up the Dirt road below me and stops I see some one get Out and Look up the Mountain Like they wanted me to Come down and Talk but I and My Girlfriend Just Calmly Walked up the Trail Like we Didn't Notice them, and Got away down the Other side of the Mountain, we Got away But I'm sure they where there for us and Now they Know where we are Building, we have not been up in a few days Now Because we don't need nor want no Fine or jail Time Simply for Building a Mountain biking trail, what the hell is wrong with This.? Why can't they Leave us alone? Our Dinky Little Side cute trail Dose No Harm, what should we do Now? I feel I Have Less of a Purpose and don't Know what to do any More I dedicated Hours of my Time and for what to Be Bullied Out of Our GOD Given Play Ground?? this Land is for all of us Its Our Birth Right to Be able to Enjoy and Respect it and I do Nothing but that, There are Spots not far from here that People are Littering and Completely Trashing these Beautiful Places Yet they Waste there Time Just to Bully us the Ones that Cherish and Completely Love and Respect Mother Nature, I don't see them doing anything about the Litter Bug's the Real Problem! wtf?? I seriously don't Know what to do with my Self Now! I feel Lost and Deeply Hurt that they can do this to us, with there abuse of Power No Different that a Fucking Pig! so Please If any one out there is going through this do you Have any Tips for me on How I can Deal with this?? should I Just Build Under the Moon Light.? Get the Trail Finished and If I'm Caught Riding Just Say I Ride it But didn't Build it.? I WILL NOT STOP RIDING NOR BUILDING NEVER!!

Don't go to the ocktoberfest! It's overrated! The cops are assholes and the fake ass security guards just wish they are cops! By the way I'm from there! F**K Leavenworth!

Idiot

Always enjoy these blogs, keep 'em coming!

I agree. As creatives we aren't suppose to slave away for hours. It's a foolish idea to try. We are paid for our ideas and our insights. We may not be "working," but that's ok. The work that we do and the ideas we come up with happen in a matter of a several seconds. That's the magic of what we do. Just something I've been thinking about recently.

hey Jamie !

thats what im sayin

nice one Jamie. ..work it boy.

I love the EMT story...to the point.

is there anywhere I can buy the soundtrack to this movie?

Plake has the best laugh existing, freaking awesome dude.

exactly !

so as long as we don't harm others or create a serious erosion problem, I see no reason in why people can't shred anywhere.

song?

This is a very good movie, I particularly like the guy @ 3:10 whose first appearance in the movie made him look a little hick-like, but who is doing the most interesting work on his personal farm where he uses organic techniques that he is developing. It is very impressive. I'd so the same thing if I was that smart! ;-)

fun stuff at 0:20!

Its, not it's.

Nice documentary, really hope those trails become legal cause they look sick!!!

even the mcdonalds building is bavarian haha

Why is this guy... speaaaaaakkkkiiiiing ssssooooo ssssloooowwwwlllllyyyyy?

whats the name of the song?

@lollo56 mountainmanchad =0) says HI!

@shizniot : (myself) Look at the WOPR (Western Oregon Plan Revision ) that the BLM proposed in '09. BLM controls more land than any gov agency and proposed cutting 700 million board feet of timber, including lots of old-growth (an ecosystem we've lost almost entirely to logging). Luckily, it was struck down w/ pressure from the public. But why do we have to fight to save the land we own from bureaucrats and the wealthiest 1% of the population who control industry and gov? This is a snowjob!

Fly over the PNW and see how much the FS cares about the forest: Large swaths of trees cut i.e. clear-cuts. Not the giant cuts of old, maybe, but heinously large imo. I was a Forest Recreation resources major in college in Oregon, and can honestly say that the FS is in bed w/ the logging industry. W/out massive pressure in the form of lawsuits from layers hired by environmental groups, the forest would be raped at an even worse rate than currently. I'll continue below

Fuck the government they ONLY want our money so they give us big fat tickets. they don't give a shit about the forest they just want our money. DH MTB is NOT destroying the nature at all !! it's just a load of bullshit. Forest service my ass !! Free country FreeRIDE bitches :)

awesome !!

great vid and super inspirational!!!! whats the song starting on 0.57?

Haha awsome. I live like a mile from Duthie Hill. But I have never been. I really need to.

Great little clip - been a plake fan since skiing in the 80s - still own my copies of Maltese Flamingo and Blizzard of Ahhhs - thanks this was cool

OOOO! the gingerbread factory in Leavenworth is AWESOME! And the lights at night are the best

i'VE been waiting for a legit mountain bike documentary, looks cool. Up here in BC we went through the same thing for years and now we have a huge amount of legal trails, although some of my favorites ,because they are on private land, are still illegal;)

Absolutely loved this film. Would love to start building trails in Eastern Washington but have no idea how to even start. Great inspiration! Thanks

@martinmexx It is right! Just come over and check it out for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised. By the way, I am originally from Munich. Bart

Unbelievable, american fake entire city in a bavarian style!!! Can't be right :P

oh that noise at the start gives me goosebumps. good memories

nice try. . . yes there is development, but there is still orchards and plent of money being made farming. And today due to all the government regs. and sue happy people u can't tresspass in anybodies orchard. Also ur little camera trick @ 2:05 was very amiturish, the sign read HELP WANTED. Imagine that a farmer creating jobs... exlpore and tell the whole stroy nxt time.

Cool film ! And a good meaning for it too. Love to see Chad again :) long time ago Chad. Love Lollo

Great video!!!!! 5/5

The Song is performed by Fat Happy

Yeah I want to know the name of this song and who sings it so badly!

WOW!! What a GREAT thing our community did!!

I am going there tomorrow

I'm purchasing this DVD for my Father. I saw it on The Documentary Channel, and it is great! My Father, his brother and father are all apple growers in Michigan. I can very easily relate to the plight of the small farmer. A truly insightful, hopeful documentary - well done! ~Jon

It is catchy,thought it was part of a song, nice jingle, thanks --jette

Jetteboy, if you're referring to the I've Got Sun theme, it was written and recording by me (Jeff) for Chelan County Tourism. Just curious, what is your interest in this? Jeff

does anyone know who sings this song?
