Since I'm fairly vocal with my frustration at the continual dumbing down of our trails, I wanna say i am in complete agreement with Rage on this one, although we all vary by a few degrees here and there with our interpretations. For instance:
d. To promote mountain biking in general and open access to other trail systems wherever they may be found, with particular emphasis on developing the mountain bike trail system in the immediate Quad Cities area.
To promote mountain biking in general doesn't necessarily mean that if someone-club member or not, is going to do something that might jeapordize our current access, then we can't support it even if the action is "for mountain bikers."
However- the point that we have to go to other trail systems to work on our technical skills should not be lost in the shuffle here. If we take a pic of the tire obstacle to a land manager and say "by the way, just out of curiousity, some the hard cores were wondering if you'd allow this to the side of one of the black diamonds?" if the land manager says ok, then we need to check with our insurance, and if they say ok- for the love of sweet two wheeled fun we should put it in!
2 problems with Sylvan although I'd be willing to give it a try- 1st, it's double tough to bury anything on Sylvan, 2nd, tires make great bon fires when your underage drinkin and smokin on a saturday night. I'm just sayin...
Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
