Can't you guys just tell him that on the social media sites? If he hears it enough, he should get the point.
Some peeps have already posted that in the comments to his latest video.

He’s not clueless. Saw this video the other day where he leaves the identity of the trail out of the description.I don't k ow the guy, but maybe he's just clueless.Could happen!

Not silly. Social media is the primary reason these trails are on the radar. From dozens of runs per month to hundreds and perhaps even thousands.I would never mention the name of a secret surf spot, fishing spot, MTB trail, dive bar, massage parlor, poker game or other shadey endeavor.... but....
The idea that any of the illegal and barely survivable/rideable trails in the Laguna area are “secret” and will be better or exist longer without mention on strava/mtbr/FB/YouTube is silly. They are easy to find by just watching people ride by and enforcement is zero.
I did originally find Car Wreck years ago by watching a YouTube vid, so maybe i am full of poo
So now i know why some dont talk about certain trails...
Wow....
Haha.. i just read ur post corn.. mine was after urs but just coincedence..
Someone call Red Bull and Richie and get the trail names removed. And call every local pro, manufacturer, and Photogs who are blowing up the illegal zones.

So you condone it? Again, just because someone else does it doesn’t make it right or a reason to follow suit. That’s the issue with today’s “look at me” social media crowd.
F@ck no. I never would. My point is that it’s much bigger problem then some DB on YouTube. The pros are worse. I found a new one in my hood the other day that i never would have ever seen if it was not for a local pro who strav’d it.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because he’s a small dude on YT doesn’t mean it won’t have an impact. Someone mentioned before that they know this guy or know of him and his group of friends, who ride in big groups. Exactly what we don’t need in our local parks.
Call me racist but I don’t care because I’m not a snowflake and there seems to be a huge influx of these very large groups of asian dudes at county parks on weekends. There, I said it. Not saying there hasn’t or isn’t groups of other cultures out there but what I’ve seen with my own eyes doesn’t lie.
I think you should contact him via phone or snail mail and make it known that you and others do not appreciate him and his large groups disrespect for our local MTB culture/system of secrecy. Or whatever else you want to tell him.
Get me his phone or email and I will.
Actually, he posts his Strava links to all these rides in his videos so I’ll go that route. Thanks for the idea.
He replied to a comment on one of his youtbe vids:
"Gordon Shumway what difference does it make if I put the name of the trail or not? None of these are secret trails."
So he knows what he is doing.
Like you said earlier.....it's all about the "look at me". I mean why bother listing the other riders and the bikes they are riding.

Now I regret using my real name, Cornholio, on here because it makes me look like a hypocrite.
Good question - why are the really large groups of riders usually all the same ethnicity?What does being "Asian" have to do with anything?
