I think this is more of the same. There will always be someone who feels this way and to be honest, it is very likely that there was an idiot off roader that was rude or seen doing damage.

I don't agree with her but I can see how it is interpreted this way. Lots of exagerations and stretches of the truth.

It is fair to say that most of us here on YT are responsible stewards of the areas we wheel. But most of us have seen sites or individuals that have no reguard for the environment and it is the one bad apple thing all over again.

Scope of influence comes to mind though. If we stick to what we can change and take care of (our local areas) then that is where we start. A huge pro wheeling crusade IMHO is not the way to overcome people like this.

Tread lightly needs to continue to gain momentum and become part of our hobby culture.

Sorry if this sounds liek a soap box lecture.:pat:
