Butch and I went to visit Menace and we chatted in a dirty way.

Dirt Bikes!! arty

We touched on Dirt Bikes, Supercross. local tracks and OHV parks, fitness of the racers, Travis Pastrana.. :loco star! and the closure and actions ongoing with Clear Creek.

Throw in a little history about how accessible dirt bike riding was back in the 70's/ 80's compared to now and you have a lot of chat.

Also Menace asked me to name this series.. so I want to throw that out to you all for your imput there.

We have several more lined up already..

* Flat Track before the Calistoga event with the promoter and several well versed OG's.

* Stunting with one of barf's own stunters with an eye towards the professional series for it.. and likely a little on the darkside of being bad boys on the street.

* MotoGP hopefully my bud JRace can make that one!

* AMA Races coming to Infineon.. west coast moto jam!

* Moto Safety / Training with some players to be named.. :teeth

So if you have a name for these throw it out.

If you have ideas for other podcasts.. throw them out.

SF was beautiful today..:thumbup

We touched on the US land grabbers wanting to close down access to us Citizen's..

Here is the latest from the AMA:

Wild Lands designation threatens access Take Action!

Call and write your federal lawmakers now!

On Dec. 22, 2010, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar (http://www.doi.gov/whoweare/secretarysalazar.cfm) signed Secretarial Order 3310 creating a new land-use designation called "Wild Lands" that essentially allows officials in the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to manage public land as if it had received a "Wilderness" land-use designation from Congress, but without requiring congressional approval. This new policy may restrict responsible off-highway riding in the affected areas.

A Wilderness designation is one of the strictest forms of public land management. Once Congress designates an area as Wilderness, nearly all forms of non-pedestrian recreation are illegal. The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) supports appropriate Wilderness designations that meet the criteria established by Congress in 1964, but anti-access advocates have been abusing the legislative process to ban responsible off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation on public land.

This new "Wild Lands" policy comes on the heels of a victory when U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) (http://amacycle.capwiz.com/bio/id/370 ) dropped his effort, on Dec. 21, 2010, to pass a massive omnibus public lands bill that would have inappropriately designated millions of acres of public land as Wilderness. The very next day Salazar signed Secretarial Order 3310 and the same day the 111th Congress adjourned sine die. On Dec. 23, 2010, Salazar held a press conference in Colorado announcing the new "Wild Lands" policy.

With the new "Wild Lands" policy, anti-access advocates and the administration are now seeking an end-run around Congress. Salazar's order has far-reaching implications because the BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land nationwide, primarily in western states.

Federal lawmakers quickly called the "Wild Lands" policy a "land grab" and a blatant attempt to usurp congressional authority. The AMA sent a letter, dated Jan.11, 2011, to Salazar asking him to explain whether the new "Wild Lands" land-use designation will block traditional routes of travel for off-highway riding.

The AMA needs all its members and OHV enthusiasts to call their Senators and Representative today. To call, click here. Or, you can follow the "Take Action" option to send a pre-written e-mail directly to your Senators and Representative urging them to oppose any usurpation of congressional authority with regards to public land designations.

Call and send a pre-written e-mail to your Senators and Representative now and let them know you oppose any usurpation of congressional authority. http://www.capwiz.com/amacycle/callalert/index.tt?alertid=23870596&type=co
