I do disagree with the splinter groups however, groups like the AMA and BRC are all well and good, but they are not the ones you want to count on for local issues.CORVA,ORBA,ASA,SDORC, all 3 districts (37,37,& 38 ) and others are all under one Umbrella now, that umbrella will become more appearent as time goes on and the impact has been huge already, kinda like the Earth Justice of the offroad community.
I believe we are in agreement here, by no means did I try to make the assumption that the BRC and the AMA are our heros. both the AMA and the BRC have made some pretty stupid decisions on our behalf. Dont even get me started on the AMA :think: The buckling of the Red sticker issue was a blunder by the BRC. The recent caving in on the Clear Creek Issue is a blunder on the BRC, People raised good money to fight the action at CCMA and yet the Greens along with the BLM still foo-foo'd the reality and truth. I am not blaming the BRC, I blame us Because we are splintered and divided. I do agree that the smaller groups as you mentioned are becoming more and more vocal and involved.
The intent of COORE is to bring the Mountain Bikers, Snow-mobilers, Water-Skiers, Hikers, Camper, Bird Wathcers into the brother hood. These are the Splintered groups I refer to as well.
Believe it or not the world is not all Off Road Dirt Bikers ;) :ohmy:
Yes I know its a shock :yikes:
Coore is more the just a pro off road, its a pro Recreation for everyone who enjoys the Outdoors and uses the Outdoors for some sort of Relaxation. Coore is a concortium a council for all of us to come and discuss openly honestly and effectively how to reach the primary Goal we all want. Access to Our favorite Fishing hole, Camping Spot, Hiking Trail.
The US Forestry Service just ordered a EIR for the Eldorado National Forest, How are we to get the word out to Hikers, Campers, Bikers, Fishermen, Snow Sports, Skiing and such to get involved. the EIR is slated for Access and complaints of Over Crowded OHV usage areas. The Web Site has the full Article and who to contact at the federal Level on this.
if you don't act now and find out what impact you have on a EIR then the closing of TRAILS is just around the corner for everyone.
THIS is why we need Coore I don't see any site or Org trying to UNIT Web Sites, Orginizations, Manufactures or other Outdoor groups together. They are still Isolated into one Corner, Off ORad Here, Hikers There, Campers yonder and The list goes on Still pointing fingers at each other. While the Manufactures sit idly by and do what? Thats another rant :bang:
Ok Sorry
