Video: The Great Outdoors – The Destroyers (2008)

I have been a long time fan of the Great Outdoors videos. Without checking I’m pretty sure I own the first 3 years (2002-2005).  This year I decided to give the film another go. I now own it and after sitting down to watch it (I needed a fix with all this time off due to the X-Games) I wanted to post a review. [Read more →]

James Stewart Ride Day

I just saw this video of James Stewart riding and it’s simply amazing what he can do on 2 wheels.  The whips, and wheelies through the woops were nothing short of spectacular.

I guess James is having a ride day at Milestone MX in SoCal.  I wish I lived closer so I could attend. See the video for the full details. [Read more →]

Cool Kevin Windham Videos

As some of you may know by now — if you can read anyway :) that I’m a huge Kevin Windham fan.

Well, in my quest to find out if Kevin is going to be racing any or all of the 2009 Locus Oil AMA Pro Motocross season, I’ve found quite a few very cool videos that I just had to share. [Read more →]

CPSC staff recommends against exempting children’s dirt bikes and ATVs from strict anti-lead law

The reason the lead ban, and the reason it’s still in place for youth ATV and Motorcycles has some clarification.  I really hope we can all (I know I’ve asked before) get behind the new bills and urge all of our local government officials to support these new bills so we can stop the madness.  It has gone on long enough.

Not Out of the Woods Yet – S. 22, the Omnibus

Although it is great news that the House of Representatives failed to pass S. 22, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, we are not quite out of the woods (pardon the pun) yet…

Read this email (reposted) sent to me from ARRA-Access: [Read more →]

Finally Some Good News — Omnibus Public Lands Bill Stopped!!!

Finally some good news for the OHV community!!  This just goes to show that if we group together and work as a team we can accomplish something great.  Stopping this mass land grab IMOP qualifies as something great!

I’m also pleased with my very own representative Rob Bishop!  It’s nice to see all the letters I sent him did some good and that he is in fact looking out for his constituents best interests! [Read more →]

Bill to Ban Riders Under Age 16

Is it me or are we as an OHV community being assaulted by the government?  It sure as heck feels like we are, and not one bit pleased about it, and you shouldn’t be either…

From what I gather this particular bill that I’m referencing is a bill for the state of Illinois, so your state, if different, shouldn’t be affected… or will it?  Even if the bill is only in front of the IL legislature, you can be assured that their will be many states that will eventually follow suit.  Do you want that in your state?  I sure as heck don’t. I read the synopsis on HB3914 from the Illinois General Assembly and it would appear that it is only in the state of IL, but I’m not completely sure, so don’t quote me on it in case I’m wrong.

ARRA-Access Update

I don’t know who or how many of you get the ARRA-Access (Americans for Responsible Recreational Access) update emails so I thought I would post the email I got from them in case you hadn’t seen or weren’t aware of the current status of some of the political stuff surrounding our sport.  Including some new stuff.   Yes, I know it’s just a cut and paste, but it’s important information that needs to be shared.

Save Our Sport – OHV

I’m not sure why we, the OHV community, aren’t getting any media time, but it’s maddening.  I admit I don’t watch much television, but I haven’t heard or seen a single word of coverage about the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) ban on Lead over 600 PPM (parts per million).  Maybe I just haven’t seen it, which is possible.

“Let The Kids Ride” Video

This video is about the recent CSPC ruling about motorcycles and ATV’s for kids 12 and under.  This really is a travesty.  One that makes me very angry.  I can see now that our federal government has too much power.  The government is supposed to help the people… or so I thought… [Read more →]
