    Livingstone / Porcupine Hills draft release: First Quik Takes

    I see quite a bit of warm 'n friendly & possibly distractive text on Trails, Recreation (Motors and No Motors), Tourism, etc. YET, I also see very few lines of trail/access-routes on the maps and I see specific and confining Rustic Camping which is far from Random Camping as Albertan's have...

    AOHVA Town Hall - Bighorn Backcountry Meeting March 22, 2018

    https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/opinio6//s?s=39582 the link works, and after a second view, I recommend not to fret over the legalities and intricacies, instead we put in an few words of why we value the recreation that we have enjoyed, why it is important to so many, and why the Gov't is needed to...

    AOHVA Town Hall - Bighorn Backcountry Meeting March 22, 2018

    Until we see the Draft Plan, this will be a tough study, and once that Draft Plan is released, a lot of things will happen very fast. It's important to do the survey, answer as best as you can, and put in clear and pointed comments. Economic Diversity (those communities need it), Healthy...

    AOHVA Town Hall - Bighorn Backcountry Meeting March 22, 2018

    It wasn't easy; wind & snow storm was brewing, chose to drive home thru the nite rather than endure even tougher conditions in the am. Got home at 3am and worked the next day. Was worth it, but can't say I blame others for not doing the same.

    Nordegg ATV trail closures

    The farmers, as nice as they were, staged one of the largest lobby efforts in Alberta history, only to have Bill 6 roll right on through. If there is any validation to motorized trails being allowed thru wildland parks, Bill Next could easily change that to the liking of the AWA. Outdoor...

    Are the claims about the reduced trail handling of the xm true?

    Have you ever visited a friend that just came out of intensive care after a crash? Have done that twice now, once very recently, once a few years ago; and also visited an acquaintance that was on life support until that no longer could hold him. Very Serious Consequences to having a bit of fun...

    Are the claims about the reduced trail handling of the xm true?

    Kinda Funny Terminology: Flickable is same as Tippy, unless you find a way to control the roll rate as the t-motions seems to have achieved. Otherwise you're on the edge of the tipping point just waiting for a covered track or an edge to spit you somewhere unexpected. XM's seem to make good...

    Re: "Mud-bogging on crown land in Alberta will become quite illegal in the near futur Wow, I've been away, tending to my spinach patch, and see many views and great posts. This is a hot and very real topic; it is about our Alberta riding future. Taken from a Facebook post, here is one first...

    Ralph Klein passes away.....

    Ralph pulled hard for us working Albertans. And when we got together here in the Lakeland and asked for some help to afford a trail groomer & business plan, even though money was tight, Ralph stepped up with Danyluk Ducharme Broda and with that help, today 5 clubs here still share a (then new)...

    "Mud-bogging on crown land in Alberta will become quite illegal in the near future"

    Re: "Mud-bogging on crown land in Alberta will become quite illegal in the near futur Striking a reasonable balance will take energy for sure. Hope that energy comes together sooner than later. Coming soon to another Province near(or around(?)) you: from another post on S&M: " Mud bogging...

    "Mud-bogging on crown land in Alberta will become quite illegal in the near future"

    "Mud-bogging on crown land in Alberta will become quite illegal in the near future" These words rang out clearly to me in a chance meeting with a high level Gov't employee at last season's ATV and Sled show in Edmonton. Your thoughts??
