The future of riding?

[mole97]

I was just sitting here bored and thinking. So now it made me Think about this. I know I'm older than ALOT of people on here ,so I remember growing up and basically if you rode dirtbikes(cause back then noone had trikes,only a few) you could go 5 minutes away and ride AALLL DAYYY LONG just about anywhere! nowadays I got to drive at least 45 minutes to the nearest track. Forget riding on property,cause there's none left,(around here) . And it seems like all you read about is land being sold off to builders,tracks being closed down,quads being banned, get my point? I have 2 kids who would love to ride a 5 year old and a 2 yr old. and believe me they will. but then I think about when they get older and see the way things are going and I don't feel so sure there is a future. example: I love hockey, played for almost 15 years, but no longer because what do you need/ ICE. It's not like I own a rink. And tryin to get ice time is like tryin to get a new kidney. Same for ridin. what do you need LAND ! I don't know how it is every where else,but it just seems like evey day I hear of another track closed down,a riding area shut down
:ermm: w.t.f. b.tw. I do belong to the a.ma. and the a.t.v.a . Just wanted to see and hear everyones opinion ,and to vent for a minute....thanx peace....

All trails are being closed and shut down. My community banned quads and bikes about a year ago. People been riding quads and bikes ever since the community was started (about 15 years ago). The only places left will be tracks and trails designated to atvs or bikes. I guess its a dying sport, but more ad more people are joining it.

Local riding is and always has been tough. A good spot gets shut down the second more then 3 bikes find out about it.


Get involved, police those that are causing problems at riding areas and promote our sport in a positive image where ever you can.
