ALL REAL MOUNTAINBIKERS ARE CONSERVATIONISTS!!
...but more & more we realize that the "environmentalist" movement has been highjacked by the extremist fringe to gain power, wealth & influence rather than protecting our natural lands & resources. Groups like SUWA, GreenPeace, SOC and others have lost all credibility by trying to eradicate individual responsability in favor of Group-Herding methods.
When some meth-head dirt-bag goes out to damage and destroy trails and land-scapes for fun, that individual dirt-bag should be subject to severe prosecution and penalty for HIS individual actions. To punish & persecute a "user group" for the actions of an individual is un-fair, intollerable, and pattently un-just.
We are Americans. We are Free.
We are VERY aware of our own actions and our impacts on our land.
...and we keep in mind the wise words of dear old Dad:
"Remember boy; Leave no trace means leave no evidence."
