Local here. This is incredibly infuriating - I know some MTBers in the area who have met the artist and described how much she loved making these. She was in the process of making more. This is borderline /r/iamatotalpieceofshit material.

Saw the damage for myself this weekend when my brother was visiting and I wanted to show him them for the first time. Initially thought that it was the remnants of Ian that knocked them over.

Set up a go pro for security and get your trail building crew to help her out to rebuild. Allaire MTBers are many and great. Maybe a Sabre Tooth Tiger Woods

Edit: this is sad, but there’s also an opportunity here. I think it would be awesome for the community to bring her across the street to the main trails and display new pieces of art there. A rebirth of sorts. This gets it attention. I would love it to be seen more.

Robin (the artist) is a very cool person, I went out there one day and talked to her about her artwork. This was a relatively quiet part of Allaire State Park, but her dinosaurs turned it into something of an attraction. She never expected that her sculptures would draw so many people in. It really sucks to see that some asshole set out to intentionally destroy it.

Oh it's not borderline. They are right in there.
