Paywall blocked but getting the general idea that people are assholes and destroyed the sculptures

Sorry, guess I haven't run out of free articles. But yes that's the long and short of it. Those dinosaurs were unique creations and some idiots smashed them to bits.

Fucking stupid people everywhere.

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.

What a shame! I had to look them up.

That sucks.

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.

Thanks for the link. This is really a shame. I only get down to Allaire like once a year - but seeing the Dinos was a highlight of those rides. I hope the artist will keep building in the park.

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.

Human is shitty

People are such assholes.

And I can’t even draw a stick figure

people are dumb as hell

Paywall for Nj.com

People are fucking trash

The pictures look amazing and this is really a shame that people felt the need to destroy them.

Anti-dinosaur folks cannot be trusted

We’re going camping at Allaire with Cub Scouts this weekend and we were going to look for them. Heard this last night and I agree, it’s completely infuriating that people can be such pieces of shit.

My friend group and I made the 3 teepees near the head of the trail to the right hand side in 2018 and we loved looking at them and were fascinated how someone could even do that with sticks, it's absurdly sad what happened and I really hope they're rebuilt.

Children love to knock things over and make messes, it is built into us to destroy as much as build.

>borderline r/iamatotalpieceofshit material.

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

It’s interesting how someone destroying art brings more attention to the art (and artist) itself. If not for this, I doubt I would have heard of these dinosaur sculptures or the artist at this time. I certainly hope the artist rides this wave and creates more beauty despite the drawback. Much love and strength to her.

WHAT!? I DIDNT GET TO SEE THEM YET

I saw them last year and I'm glad I did. It's the kind of thing you keep putting off until something like this happens.

So easy to destroy things, it's a shame. I hope the artist isn't discouraged by this and they see it as an opportunity to create something even greater.
