A North Vancouver senior who spent hundreds of hours using logs and rocks to sabotage a popular mountain biking trail has been given a suspended sentence.

Tineke (Tina) Kraal, 65, was handed three years’ probation and ordered to serve 150 hours of community service at a sentencing hearing Thursday.

She was also ordered to stay away from all bike trails in B.C.

While handing down the sentence, the judge said Kraal showed real remorse for her actions, and was unlikely to offend again.

Kraal was caught on camera repeatedly dragging logs across Skull Trail, a steep, challenging downhill path on Mount Fromme.

She pleaded guilty to one count of mischief to property, while counts of placing a trap and mischief endangering life were stayed.

Before her sentencing, Kraal was given a chance to address the court, and offered an apology.

“I never meant to hurt anybody,” she said.

The court heard Kraal had been sabotaging the trail for roughly two years before she was caught, by heading up early in the morning every day and spending a couple hours moving in various obstacles.

On any given day, she placed between 10 and 40 logs on the trail, according to an agreed upon statement of facts in the case.

She was ultimately caught in January 2015 after frustrated bikers set up cameras on the trail. At the time of her arrest, she told police mountain bikers were ruining the trail and she wanted to preserve it for hikers.

She also acknowledged to police that a biker could have been seriously hurt by hitting one of the logs she’d placed.

Kraal’s lawyer, Martin Peters, said his client has already suffered through public notoriety, and that she’s received chilling threats on social media.

“She’s terrified,” Peters said. “This is a then-64-year-old who had never had any public exposure to anything and then found herself in the middle of this."

Kraal and her husband didn’t used to lock their door, but have felt threatened enough to install an alarm system at their home, Peters added.

The defence requested a conditional discharge, arguing Kraal’s actions were completely out of character for her, while the Crown sought three months’ house arrest, three years’ probation and 240 hours of community service.
