Cory You can use the email address: [email protected]. Ric in our office monitors this and can ask you specifics about this. He is our expert, and if he does not know, he will reach out to Don Amador, who is our Western Representative.

I will send this info to the BRC office and have them look into this, and see how they can help.

At BRC we do work with everyone. If you think trails are forever closed once they are closed, has been proven wrong. We have worked with a group in Idaho to reopen an area that had single track on it. In Montana, trail 38 was reopened after the Forest Service closed it without following their...

ItsYourLegacy I am working on trying to gather some of the info that you asked. Trying to figure out and list what we have lost is a very daunting task. You have been around longer than me in this fight to keep lands open, and you might have a better list than me, and how much we have lost...

http://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/2015/12/18/nevada-blm-extends-comment-period-nv-ca-greater-sage-grouse-bi-state-distinct-popu Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has extended the comment period 30 days on potential changes to the Proposed Plan as set forth...

I can't fix the past errors of the land use group leaders. I can and will work to ensure those errors don't happen in the current and future discussions. ItsYourLegacy, you speak like I know who the gray haired folks are who locked out those that were not like minded as yourself! I don't know...

ItsYourLegacy I have seen the mentality that you mention previously. I own a Jeep and years ago, people did not want to share the trails, period. Where I recreate, that mentality has changed. Why? I think because so many people now own a SxS or ATV and understand both sides of the argument. As...

NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION COMMENTS NEEDED ON WEST MOJAVE ROUTE NETWORK PROJECT BY JUNE 4, 2014 Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, As many of you know, the BLM's comment period for the West Mojave (WEMO) Route Network Project (WMRNP) and Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)...

Thanks for posting this BRC Alert.

I borrowed this from a friend on Pirate4x4. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/2038306-outnumbered-500-1-a.html We are losing our access to public lands at an alarming rate. Why is this happening? Because our pro-access organizations are WAY under funded and their...

I am wondering who is working to protect access to public lands for the SxS users? I can tell you that BRC is! We have Don Amador who is actively engaged in the Ca/Nv desert washes issues and been to numerous meetings. John Stewart from Cal4, and on the BOD for BRC has been to numerous...

I am trying to answer these posts as best as I can. I was not involved in the decision process that reduced the trails in Michigan. Having grown up in Traverse City, I remember thousands of miles of trails for everyone. Now that I lead a national organization, I am not able to answer where...

I am not sure that we totally forget the past, but leave it as a reminder of what has happened in the past and move on to new, greener pastures. How do we change that mentality? We all have to be involved in larger numbers than those that want to exclude us, even if they want to recreate on...

I don't have the history that many have of the here or in other groups of the bad blood. We need to move past that, and move into the future with goals for us all to achieve and work together to achieve those. Del already mentioned that the SXS group here is under represented, and we at BRC...

Thanks underider o_O

CSG We do have the typical membership based fee system. We are working on the details for a supporter based membership also that would not have dues, but would be willing to make donations to BRC for specific causes. We have figure out the details on this program before we roll it out. Hope...

It'sYourLegacy I can't talk for what happened year ago, but I can tell you that I have advocated for SXS's in my local club, and Cal4Wheel accepts them with open arms. I can also tell you, that under my watch at BRC as the President, we will advocate for SXS's across the nation. You guys are...

Thanks for joining in here John.

GilaBrew We are always looking for volunteers to help or join the BRC board of directors. Our new Executive Director is going to work on getting a couple of SXS's for BRC and position them around the country for board members to utilize at events representing BRC. It would be nice if this would...

Join and Support The Fight To Protect OHV Use Today! April 27, 2015, is the deadline for public comments on the Draft Resource Management Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft RMP/EIS) for the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Carson City District, Sierra Front and Stillwater...

Here is a link to Don Amadors TrailPac page: http://www.thetrailpac.com/ Don does a really good job of staying on top of who is on our side, and been friendly to our side in Washington. Todd

Cumpy, for an organization to lobby in Washington, it would have to be one other than a 501c3. A c5 or 7 is the appropriate organization to do this. There are a couple out there already, like Cal4Wheel is a not-for-profit organization or a c5 I think. They have a foundation c3 to take tax...

Cumpy I wish BRC could do more on the political side, but we are hamstrung by how much lobbying and interaction we can have with elected officials.. We are not able to tell you who to vote for, as BRC did get in trouble trying to do that years ago, long before my time as the President. As...

Now that Moab is winding down, lets have a little update here. A couple of the members of the Grand County council visited the BRC booth in Moab. They commented that our call to action alert let them know that OHV recreation is important to many people and thousands visit Moab specifically for...

Hello Undergrounders. I am Todd Ockert, from Hanford California. I am the BRC President. I am a Jeep owner, but have played with UTV's with friends that have them. One day, I might have one when I am tired of fixing the Jeep. BRC is here to help keep OUR access open for everyone. If you...

Thanks GilaBrew. BRC has been invited to the UTV World Championships b2b summit. It looks like Don Amador, our Western Representative will be at the summit to answer questions for the group. We appreciate the invite to be able to answer questions for the group. Memberships are important when...

Hello UTV Underground. Todd Ockert, BlueRibbon Coalition President. Just stopping in to say hi, and introduce myself to the group. I currently do not have an ATV or SxS. I am a Jeep owner though. Not that I would not mind having an UTV in my garage though, as they are fun. We at BRC are...
