[pct-l] Illegal Mountain Biking on the PCT - Now in video form

[Craig Giffen]

A few MTB riders have recorded their illegal PCT rides and put them on YouTube.  Especially with the first two videos, they know what they are doing is illegal.  If anyone contacting the authorites needs videos and finds the videos deleted, I have screenshots and hi-res downloads of each video too.

PCT Between highway 173 and Silverwood:

Furthermore, although these are not on the PCT, you can see how ridiculous the notion of "multi-use" trails are:

(Although this one isn't the rider's fault obviously, this collision could have just as easily been a hiker on a blind corner or bottom of an incline)
