to get people involved with their local trail associations?
how is it that we live in mtb heaven yet have such a problem recruiting help to run an organization that plays a huge role in keeping the trails open and running?
if people aren't willing to get dirty or donate time, why won't more of them donate a day's pay towards keeping the trails open? if you can afford to ride a two, three, four thousand or more dollar valued bike surely you can afford to donate an amount equal to say the cost of a new tire each year.
it would be nice to get some serious answers to these questions. if we can then maybe we can find a way to help move things forward.
First lets ask people what they want the NSMBA to be?
What do you want from the NSMBA?
We can then look at what the NSMBA currently does and how well they are addressing those wants.
Alot of the things being mentioned in this thread are already happening, or have happened. Maybe some stuff just needs to be done better.
