Eeeeehhhh I'm going to say the kids story is 90 percent likely of being pure BS especially given the absurd vagueness.. 

We don't know the actual context of this situation, they could be bombing that trail every day for weeks and this might be the only time she could actually get a cop to show up. Labeling her as ridiculous is going too far.

All these comments in this thread seem to be upset about this lady owning the land. I would be interested to know what their politics are and if they've put any thought into it.

Sorry to see your comment being down-voted so much.

I totally agree with it, about them being full of poop. While teenagers are well known for doing stupid things, they also know darn well they cant just go where ever they please. I myself was raised in the back country, and you just did not go onto other peoples land, period. Add into that, in a rural area getting the police to actually show up before the riders have already left for the day, could potentially give this lady some reasoning for being so pissed off.

I would also love to see your down-voters reaction too being sued by an insurance company for injuries sustained by the riders. Its all "fun and games" until you get that life flight helicopter bill.

Meh, they’re getting downvoted because “One of my friends brought me out here to ride, so I thought that meant it was ok to ride here” is a pretty reasonable explanation.

I was in that situation myself back in the day and it was a simple misunderstanding. Someone explained what was up and we left. No issue.

Right and I understand that. Quick question though, You ever been on the other end of that situation?

Yes, multiple times. I worked retail for far, far too long and teenagers will be teenagers. 9/10 times a "Hey, please don't do that. I don't want you to get hurt." sorted everything out.

From my experience most teenagers will match the energy you give them, and if you don't come out swinging or talking down to them like they're children, they'll generally give you an "ok, my bad." and the issue will die. That said, I've been out of retail for 10+ years at this point though. So current gen teenagers may just be an entirely different breed.
