I didn't reply as I don't consider 'Boofhead' a strong enough title for these brain dead morons.
Every week when we (Hastings Baseball) are at Blackbutt Park either training or playing baseball, you get the dirt bike riders riders going through the park to get to the "mound "or into the state forest.
Yes, some ride slowly past cars and people, but the majority ride flat out.
The incident that has got me really stirred up happened on our recent grand final day.
We had a fair-sized crowd there and there were little children running around, people of all ages.
Most not more than a double arm span apart.
The (can't give them a description that would be suitable for publication) go straight through the middle of the crowd at full tilt.
Numerous people tried to explain their stupidity, but the reply that was given was to ride even faster across the outfield of the game in progress.
Umpires considered their actions so dangerous they stopped the game till they went past.
They then rode across the pedestrian bridge out onto Mahogany Way then into the forest.
The absolute stupidity of these idiots was to get from the top of Peppermint Crescent to the "mound" (which is on the other side of a small creek at the back of the main diamond).
They could've ridden down Peppermint Crescent across a car park that wasn't being used at the time, across the pedestrian bridge onto Mahogany Way, into the forest and then proceeded to ride around on the mound.
Oh no, that would have been illegal!
