If I was flying a plane and it stopped working mid flight I’d crash it into a building to save the sacred ocean. I’m still pissed at Amelia Earhart for ditching her plane in the ocean.

He blamed bad fuel. He filmed everything. No other instances of bad fuel were found at the airport he refueled and tookoff on, even if there was evidence of contamination he was irresponsible to fly off the coast.

All signs and his history points to it being a BS publicity stunt, and the incident is under investigation by the faa.

But keep simping for the man idgaf

Honestly even before any if his recent shit it seemed like bullshit. I mean theres the very slim chance that it just happened and he just had the camera and everything, but he always seemed like kind if a chad.

Idk. Imagine wanting to be noticed that badly that you'll do anything just ti get people talking about you.

If it was only him in the plane I’d be more likely to agree that it was a stunt. I’m not simping for d-lesh, I just think it’s funny how people hyper analyze everything he does. When did people start hating him anyway? I remember when Last Friday dropped years ago people on here loved it. Also all plane crashes are investigated by the FAA.

People wondering if dude that will do anything for attention did something for attention. Idk. Not saying he did or didn't , but it's not exactly a crazy leap for people to wonder. Also people were somewhat skeptical before all this other shit he's done recently.

I think it's like anything else. You can ski or not ski, but if you act like a douche on a regular some people won't like you.

Bro, he had his airplane listed for sale for months prior to the crash, and even tho he video taped everything he didn't record any sort of re-start procedure.

If he knew fuel was bad, he should have kept the airplane over land. Conveniently, the aircraft went down were it is unrecoverable There were also no other instances of fuel contamination at the airport he last fueled up at.

Believe what you want man. But dude's cried wolf so many times and brags about getting away with bullshit all the time, he's scum and deserves no defense.

Along with flying beyond gliding distance from land without floatation devices. I don't know the FAA regs but that ain't allowed in Canada. Pretty fucking amateur and needlessly reckless regardless of how good your fuel is.
 
Please stop taking about Lesh. Man is living in all your heads rent free!!! He doesn’t need anymore of your energy.

Guy has been wrecking his own life for the past decade due to his blind arrogance. Nothing genuine about him or his company. It's all an elaborate mechanism designed for him to secure the attention he never received as a child. None of it has ever been about skiing or connecting with the community - its always been about David, who takes pride in being rebelliously stupid: it's even written in Virtika's mission statement. Seems like his stupidity has finally caught up to him. But don't worry, he'll spin it to get more attention for himself because he's a clown.

Wow great analysis, you must be a psychologist. Where did you get your degree in psychology??
 
What a wild list of downfalls that Lesh is adding to his list. Can't wait to see the GoPro footage once it becomes available soon.

the sad thing is I really like Virtika's bibs. They flt well for my tall frame and are very nice and warm and still waterproof 3 years after I bought them for about 160 bucks on a spring sale. If only Lesh wasn't such a wild card.

Volcom makes really solid bibs/jackets if you ever need to replace them. Everyone has a set of bibs these days but volcoms are pretty damn solid. Probably a little more than that on sale still though.

Also agreed with the other post. NS is patiently awaiting the video. This was surprising and not surprising at all if that makes sense.

You’re right on the money. Such problems have haunted me most of my life. I was severely touched by the ‘tism, that is until I met your mother whose sweet sweet smell & taste transformed me from a boy into a man.
 
I watched a documentary about it that showed from his side for first half of movie and then the local government’s side second half. Dude was deranged and offered a lot of money for his land actually.

never looked into this guy. this is what he R A M P A G E D for? if i'm getting this right, he bought some repo land from uncle sam, sold it for a shit ton more than he paid for it, and then got butthurt that he got a $2500 fine and that the buyer built a concrete plant on the land... so he destroyed the town then shot himself. that's even more pathetic than i thought it would be

"In 1992, Heemeyer purchased 2 acres (0.8 ha) of land from the Resolution Trust Corporation, the federal agency organized to handle the assets of failed savings and loan associations, for $42,000 to build a muffler shop. He subsequently agreed to sell the land to Cody Docheff to build a concrete batch plant, Mountain Park Concrete, for $250,000. According to Susan Docheff, Heemeyer changed his mind and increased the price to $375,000, then to a deal worth approximately $1 million. This negotiation happened before the rezoning proposal was heard by the town council.[5]

In 2001, Granby's zoning commission and trustees approved the construction of the concrete plant. Heemeyer unsuccessfully appealed the decision, claiming the construction blocked access to his shop. He was subsequently fined $2,500 for not having a septic tank on the property his muffler shop occupied.[6]"

Idk, wild regardless and crazy build out but dude was pretty cooked. Stewing on petty shit for years till he got to the point of building that and destroying the town.

Sometimes you mention that maybe he wasn't the biggest hero America ever spawned and people get really fucking mad. People like to believe what they like to believe. Same as it ever was'd
 
David Lesh has been my emergency contact ever since he stole my identity back in 2015. Maybe I should think about changing that… he doesn’t seem like the most trustworthy character.

Under the new requirements, he had to be connected to the sewer main. His neighbor, guy trying to buy his land, had the land that he had to go through to get to the sewer main. He kept changing buying price and all sorts of stupid back and forth shit. So, once deal fell through and it was rezoned - he became obsessed. I think he eventually let another shop use his land and he basically kept one shop to himself where he built the killdozer.

Granby is tiny. I was there recently. Can’t imagine it happening there

You’re not worth writing a long winded response to but no he didn’t do what he did over a “$2500 fine” lmao
 
I thought people grew out of the whole "omg omg soy soy KILLDOZER!!!!! Tread on THEM!!!!" thing after they turned 17.

Apparently the roleplaying last much longer.

i'm confused. where did you read about it? dozer guy bought land for 42k, was going to sell it for prices that he kept upping, to docheff. did that sale go through? and docheff built the concrete plant? but docheff also had land that dozer guy needed...? i can't seem to find a simple detailed story on it

I watched a documentary on it where they laid it out

They talk about it a bit here:https://sofrep.com/amp/news/folk-hero-or-real-villain-the-complex-tale-of-colorados-killdozer/

I don’t know anything about that website, I just briefly checked to see if there was actual discussion. Also, the sewer was a much bigger deal than $2500 fine. I think they were going to shut him down over it. Can’t remember though

"When Marvin Hemyer bought his plot of land in Granby for $42,000 in 1992 and set up his muffler shop, it had no connection to the local sewage network. Marvin requested that they annex his land into the network and hook him up into it.

The town annexed the land, and told him it would cost $80,000 to build the pipe and equipment to hook him up. They told him that a cheaper option was to install a proper septic tank. Marvin refused both, and instead sunk an old concrete mixer truck into the ground and started illegally storing his sewage in that. When this truck inevitably filled up, he would pump the contents out into a drainage ditch which polluted the town's groundwater.

Cue the concrete plant.

Marvin's shop was located in a metal shed that had once been part of a concrete plant. A local family wanted to buy the land off him to build a newer, bigger concrete plant. Marvin offered to sell the land for $250,000. They went away and came back with this, he upped the demand to $375,000. They went away and told him the best they could do was $350,000. Marvin made his final offer of $450,000. They politely declined and decided to build the plant on land they already owned opposite Marvin's plot.

Marvin decided this was unfair, so he started cultivating local opposition to the plans. He did this primarily by lying. He claimed the land had been illegally rezoned in order to build a concrete plant. It hadn't. He claimed they cut him off from the sewage system. He had never been connected to it. He claimed they cut off the dirt-road to his shop. They didn't. The same dirt road that was there when he bought it is still there to this very day.

Eventually, everyone in the town saw through him and he was the only opposition left. He launched a lawsuit against the plans which had no chance of winning. Construction of the plant began with the owners signing a waiver that they were doing so despite ongoing litigation against the plans. They were that confident.

They did, however, try one last trick to get Marvin to back off.

As you may remember, year prior, Marvin had asked the town to annex his land into the local sewer network. Which they did. They realized that, despite Marvin having refused to pay to be hooked up into the network, they could actually compel him to do so by law. He would be forced to spend that $80,000 after all.

Sounds nasty, but they made him an offer: They would pay the cost out of their own pocket if Marvin agreed to drop the lawsuit and leave them alone.

Marvin told them to go to hell.

He then lost his lawsuit.

It was at this point Marvin sold his land to a local municipal company. He got $400,000 for it. You would think having made that kind of a profit after all he would just up and piss off, but no. He leased one of the sheds back from the company, moved his bulldozer into it, and began his mission from God.

Oh, did I leave that part out? Yeah, Marv talked to god. Like, personally. And God told him to build an armoured tank out of a bulldozer and go fuck up a bunch of local businesses then blow his brains out.

All instead of just installing a septic tank."

Sir, this is a thread about Marvin Heemeyer and the events leading up to the “Killdozer” incident that occurred on April 4, 2004 in Granby Colorado.
