This lady, "an experienced mountain biker" is suing the local reservoir for 2.9 mil, and it looks like she is going to win. She ran into a big sign across the paved road that was there to block off cars. The sign has been there for 36 years. She was biking the wrong way, claimed "she was looking down" and broke 4 vertabrae by crashing into this sign and is now suing, and if she wins all the mountain bike trails will be closed down. I don't know how many of you are mountain bikers, but there is over 50 miles of singletrack at this reservoir. I live right on the reservoir, and have been riding these trails since I was in 6th grade. I cannot believe this dumb bitch is going to ruin the fun for 1,000's of people that ride these trails.

To help out, search "Maribeth Blonski" on facebook and join that group. The group picture thing is the big sign that she ran into, that was considered dangerous because there was no warning the sign was there.

but if there were a warning sign about the warning sign, wouldn't she just have ran into it earlier?

Exactly!^^^ If there was a warning sign, the dumb bitch would've just ran into that first, and would still be suing. Perhaps a fluffy padded warning sign? Or else people could try not sucking at life.

so if i drove my car down a one way the wrong way and ran into a closed fence, i could sue that town even though i was being negligent? TIGHT! thanks maribeth for being another blood-sucking, idiot who cannot claim responsibility for your own mistakes! you're making America a wonderful place to live in by suing all those evil dooers!

so true

Joined. Any "mountain biker" who sues with the intent or knowledge of a result in closing mountain biking trails, preventing many other mountain bikers from doing what they love, deserves to be called a stupid bitch. Fuck you Meribeth Blonski.

how do you know she already won $2.9 mil?

wow. this is fucking STUPID. says in the article that a jury already agreed with her. you can bet that none of them have ever ridden anything better than a $50 walmart bike. fucking cunts. the picture tells me that it wasnt a trail but actually a road. argument thus being invalid. im sending this shit to bike mag or something. this has me really pissed for some reason

and yes, its a road. a paved road. with quite a large and noticeable path going around the pole.

how the fuck do you hit that. even with your head down, she wouldve had to be standing on the bike looking straight down and sprinting.

She should accept the responsibility of riding above her level. Sports like this are dangerous. Accept the risk or gtfo. These judges should be fired asap. Fuck the world these days.

What. The. Fuck. How the HELL do you miss that^^^ and even if you weren't paying attention and did run into it, (yes, even with a broken back) priority number one is to make sure that nobody saw you and can't see what a dumbass you are.

Haha. I know that picture was staged. I was just talking about the gate itself, funny picture aside. It is big and bright yellow.

Why do people have to ruin all the fun for everyone else? Oh because America is in love with money. We can never have enough stuff, can we?

this is one of the worst cases of these dumb ass lawsuits that i've seen... not only is she a flaming retard, but she is a bitch for sueing, even when she knows the trails will get shut down. people these days.
