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...

This is just a case of a bloodsucking lawyer looking for money. The loose
board was at the bridge entrance, he crashed at the other end, 30' away.
General opinion is this will not go anywhere.

Defense lawyer still gets a dozen nice bikes worth of pay.

Not if it's one of those TV guys who only gets paid if he wins.

That wouldn't be the defense then would it.
