Hiker sentenced for sabotaging mountain bike trail
Tineke Kraal of Vancouver has been handed a suspended sentence and placed on three years probation for sabotaging North Shore mountain bike trails (click to enlarge).
Trail sabotage is unfortunately not uncommon in the mountain biking world. Disgruntled hikers secretly set obstacles and traps to discourage or punish mountain bikers from using some trails.
Lower Skull trail on the North Shore was one of the trails sabotaged (click to enlarge).
But in Vancouver where the mountain bikers are not necessarily the silent minority, mountain bikers gathered video evidence to expose one of the most infamous trail saboteurs in history.
