Heath Pinter hooked up the following statement regarding the recent plowing of Paxton’s Trails, which have been a big part of the California trail scene in recent years.

So as you have heard, Paxton trails are no longer. Like most trail spots getting plowed, it started with a neighbor who complained. Not sure what the complaints were or what neighbor. We did have options with the city to permit the jumps with a very high price tag. Paxton’s trails were running for 6 years with plenty of good times and most of the neighbors support. If there is anything I will miss, it was all the good times with people traveling through. It still amazes me on the people who traveled out to ride with us. On a positive note we are building a new spot that will be running asap. Thanks again to Lonnie Paxton and all the people who made it out to ride or hit the jams.

In the WTF item of the day, this short featuring Morgan and Natalie Wade.

I just happened to browse through Rad Collector for the first time and came across this short by Chris Rollins. Totally random and pretty cool. I actually scrolled down just enough to miss the title of the post and started watching it without knowing that Morgan was in it, and then when he showed up, I did a double take. This was filmed in Tyler, TX over 3 days, and shot using a Panasonic GH1.

If you ask me, Morgan’s got some acting chops. I could see Hollywood in his future.
