Here is a written notice concerning posting of "urban off roading areas" on this BB.
This BB is read by a very large amount of people. Some are friends and some are foes of 4wheeling. In the past it has been my belief that when the topic of the local mud puddle came up many on the board quickly came on board to urge the poster to find a more legit area to go wheeling. My belief is that this process was educational. However my view has changed on this subject now. With the large amount of readers this board has there exists the possibility that for every one person who's opinion was changed the directions were giving many others the idea to find that location. With the need for a positive image of 4 wheelers being more important now than ever before, we don't want this board to facilitate poor behaviour.
Obviously neither Larry or myself have the time to go out and find out if every local mud puddle that is posted is a legit location or not. My view is that the Greater Vancouver area is so developed now that the chance of an empty field or undeveloped area being a legit 4wheeling location is ZERO.
The new policy is to delete posts concerning these type of areas.
