I would also say that if you have the ribbon up a bit, it sure avoids some marginal calls of, I was on, no you were over, no I was on.
I see your point Alan.
Most riders are eyeing that front wheel when they are close to the ribbon and there is usually no question on a out of bounds call. If it's close it usually in the riders favor and scored the same for all.
I work nights and won't be able to record the show so if someone records it and has the capability to render the trials segment to a WMV, send it to me and I'll post it on our server for all to view.
On his vintage Bultaco he easily won our Intermediate class(Sportsman for some of you or the class just below Advanced)and he looked very smooth doing it.
Down, again, to Riverside County, for their continuing assault on private
property rights. A guy who owns five acres in the Hemet California area that he wants to build his house on.
The County of Riverside is requiring him to dedicate three of the five acres for
burrowing owl habitat. An inspector found one (old and now unoccupied) owl
borrow just inside his fence.
His property shares a boundary with several hundred acres of BLM land.
Now the reasonable person would think that the BLM land was ample habitat.
Does anybody wonder why we pay so much for housing in California. Every
developer must set aside substantial amount of land for habitat or
conservation plus pay exorbitant mitigation fees, and the price per
remaining parcel goes up.
I hope we're all paying attention to our voting today. Do we know who our
candidates are and who is supported by such things as the Sierra Club,
Feinstein, Boxer or other green groups?
Do we know who is said to be the candidate "who would be the greenest governor California ever had."
Of course, if you are not a registered Democrat, or independent?, you can't be
putting any of those guys on the ballot anyway.....but....there are plenty
of other offices up for grabs, and who are your local people?
What kind of judge, for example, may be making a decision in the lawsuit that the
recreation/ohv community interests have brought against Riverside County?
Do you get the CORVA Off Roaders in Action mailing...to see a list of those
candidates for various areas that are recreation-friendly?
Are you aware that the Governator recently appointed three new members to
the OHV commission?. Do you know that the commission is being sued for
misappropriation and mismanagement of funds by the current membership of
self serving green-agenda "conservationists"? Do you know these new
appointees and their bios? I'm not exactly suggesting that we absolutely be single-issue voters, but, green issues, over and over, profoundly effect so much of the rest of our lives that you have to weigh those in with your decision.
I would not be surprised that people who do yard and junk cleanup for a living dump there. Years ago I was there early, foggy and heard noise, some guy was dumping a hot water heater.
