I've long advocated for clubs to buy land away from the looney political urban fringe. So much of trials takes place on government or leased land. Risky! But for a club to do this, it becomes more expensive and requires working together in new ways, both of which I noted many trials riders aren't interested in. The closer you get to populated areas, the more it will cost to buy enough land to insulate yourself from the frenzy. That takes a group effort like a limited membership land club. A large chunk will protect you from all but government run amok, and ours seems more inclined that way all the time, what with more motorcycle haters. For that you can go flick a Harley spode in his helmetless head and tell him to stick a potato in that open pipe! As for the populated areas of California, I feel for you there. It's paradise lost. My land is not a club effort, but as an individual I have done what I've advocated. I have 234 acres to ride on right our my back door, and 200 acres more elsewhere. This is in Oklahoma where people are still normal and friendly and speak English :-) -CJ

I'm going to try this format just to see what it is like. The flashing advert at the top is about to drive me away already! And those silly wiggly things! Yessiree, that ADD-like short attention span of chat forums may drive me nuts fershur, but what-the-heck, a little spot of modernity couldn't hurt, right? Clickable smiles? Emoticons? Sheesh! I'm trying to smoosh the little bastages on my screen already. From one who has been publishing trials tech and other stuff for only more than a decade, what's happening here? Now how do I make this thing work? -Chris Johnson
