Today i went for my first ride of the season. Just a road ride in about a foot of semi fluffy snow. So obviously i just stuck to the roads. But when i leave the parking lot i start seeing 4 wheeler tracks driving off the roads tearing up hills and going places they aren't supposed to be going in the summer time. Also I see a hill out of the parking lot with about 6 inches of snow on it, and of course a few fellow sledders had to tear a line up it until there were riding on nothing but dirt. My question to these people is it really worth it? These people are the reason riding areas and trails are getting shut down all the time. They just disrespect the areas and the rest of us by giving all motorsport enthusiast s a bad name. Im 18 and would sure like to be riding 20 years in the future. So lets help control these people before they ruin it for the rest of us. rant over...
Respect Where You Ride and Fellow Riders

I agree with you. Found a ridge the other day while elk hunting that had a 4-wheeler trail down it. Used to be great elk country. People wonder why the government and private land owners are gating everything. Look around. Show respect and obey the laws we have now before they are more restrictive. I too would like to be able to use the land in 20 years and hopefully my kids will be able to use it also.

Ya that is a tuff one, we have dates that they still can be on our roads and trails. We had this problem this spring with 4x4's on our groomed trails before the date that it was legal to do so. I know it makes a guy mad, but if the date allows them to be there then it is just the way it is and we have to share. Now if the date says that they are not able to be there then I try to track them down and get plate #s and turn there butts in. whether or not it is a groomed trail. GETEM!!
But I will agree that there is very little respect, on there end towards the snowmobile people. I have seen that first hand in coversations with some of them.
