Legal riding on public land was gone years ago in NJ. Only allowed during enduros now, and only in the south. Of that land used, the quality and quantity of single track has suffered over the years, with more black top connecters and whooped out fire cuts. The new DEP head put an end to the Ridge Run Enduro in north NJ a few years back ending a 30+ year tradition. Now its in Hancock, NY where bikes are welcomed. They cry land damage, but think nothing of destroying many acres at the base of a mountain so those guys with less balls and more $$ can spend the day chasing little white balls around the lawn. Makes me sick. As soon as my wife has had enough of her job I'm outta here.
I'll tell you from experience, riding will not stop. It will become illegal and an outlaw activity but it will go on.
