This Reese dude sounds like a lamer. We should be counter-suing for
his lack of skills and a frivilous lawsuit. The precedent this could
set has frightening implications. If a club doesn't completely
sanitize a trail when doing "maintenance", a "loose rock" could cause
another barney to lose control and crash and leave them open to a
lawsuit.
Mountain Biking is an inherently dangerous sport...
