Hey guys, I too live on Long Island, Port Jefferson actually..I agree that from just reading this thread, it is easy to tell who is from Long Island, and who is not. Long Island is so heavily populated now, there are no areas of open land that arent controlled by private owners or government, and anything that is has already been cleared out by cops. For example, I was riding in that spot behind the welfare office building(its a pretty big sandy type of area) when a suburban drove through, right as a I was launching off of a jump. They obviously saw me and others riding, so they went out to their trailor, got on their quads and came and stopped everyone. Fortunatly, I was talking to my dad when they showed up on the quads, so technically they couldn't take my bike for riding on private owned land...unfortuntly, the other 4 guys that were riding got their bikes taken away, with a 500 dollars fine to get them back. This is getting out of hand, the only legal riding spot around is the Yaphank Motocross Track, which is packed to no end. Luckily for me, I am moving to Texas this summer(Dallas/Ft.Worth for that matter) and will hopefully have better luck there. If anyone knows of any good spots to ride around that area, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks
