save our riding land

[370banshee]

as mosy of you probably know our riding land is in constant jeapordy (i think thats spelled wrong) does anybody belong to the american sand association (ASA) i get their news letter every couple of months. i know what most of you east coasterners are gonna say "we don't have sand here" yeha i know but doesn't every 2 stroek guy dream of going to places like glamis, pismo, oregon dunes, sand lake dunes. i know that i do. there are dunes all over the US. even the dunes that i ride in central western michigan are in constant danger of closing. they ahve gone to dB testing for sound and are changing rules every year. they won't expand they say too many people in and out. the entire town thrives around those dunes and some ASSHOLES wanna shut them down by complaining about noise. in glamis they take more and more lane every year from your fellow 2 stroke riders. this is stupid and we need to fight back against the unexplained closures of lane. they closed something like 500 acres of glamis before to save a weed. it's out ragious what eco nuts get away with. these are the same people that have made our favorite quads disappear from order sheets and dealer showrooms. if you don't jion the ASA then join some type of group that helps our fight against closures. if everyone across the counrty worked at this by just joining a group to fight it then it will benefit us all. you never know one day they could be trying to shut down where you ride. and the people youd think would care the least would be people in cali. well they have it the worst. they have the best dunes in the world and are fighting to keep them. the ASA website is http://www.americansandassociation.org. you never know theland you save might be your own someday

I know the place I usually ride just closed down because people going out there an smashing windshields and crap like that. Really pisses me off when you have stupid people out there like that. It just ruins it for everyone.

It's a good think I know the guy that owns the land, I just need to go talk to him to see if I can still ride there.

Think before you do, you just might be ruining it for everyone!!!

i was checking out dirt wheels mag online and found that on 6/10/2003 49,000 of glamis acres that were shut down to protect the plant that 370banshee mentioned above along with some animals was reopened. for more info on this check out this site http://www.dirtwheelsmag.com/detail.asp?id=203

but then on 8/11/03 they were in the process of closing 50,000 acres in a different part of glamis for another plant. so hopefully in 10 years this section will be reopened. again check out this link

this is why i say join the asa. they fight against stupid closuers like this. if nothing else go to their website and sign a few petitions. it's worth a shot.

i totally agree. even though i don't ride in glamis, there thousands of people who do. you never know when the nearest woods, sand dunes or your favorite riding areas might get shut down to save a damn bug or something stupid like that. JOIN THE ASA NOW!!!

still being a newbe to this sight, the more and more i read the post's you guys put out the more i really start to enjoy this sight. and enjoy talking with people like you!! on that note, i know what you guys are talking about, with the whole losing land thing. i live in upstate New York, and fairly close to a large state park. over the last few years the state has pushed it's way in and bought up thousands of acres. and literly cut our rideing area down to nill. however our regastration fees are going up again this year, over the years due to the total lack of desanated atv trails in our area the money has been used for the snowmobile trails. i ride them in the winter as well, but they have there own trail fund. this is the New York "forever wild" goal i guess. and as of a few months ago they are now trying to rid the land of snowmobiles as well. i think there is a war a bruing, and this ol squid isn't going to take it laying down! deff. join a club or assc. the only way we are ever going to win, "power in numbers" right.........

thats what i like to hear. we need to stand up and stick it to these tree hugging liberals that hate anything that doesn't get 40 mpg and have street tires. sucks that your land is getting closed. fight it as much as you can

[go-blow-or roll]

oh trust me i will! give up is not in the vocabulary. not only that but i am severly pissed about the fact that they are turning this place in to a rich mans play ground! and leaving nothing for the working people like us!
