It is so sad that one govenment agency can not trust another. That says alot about our government.

Wow, you did notice that the few clips of people riding atvs was what looked like to be a kid on that big blue one, two guys riding down a sidewalk next to a public road, and then we have those two on the yellow one doubled with no helmets on riding in the mud... I mean come on, if the media really cared and wasnt biased then they would have had a more true representation of who we are. You think at least they could have shown a famliy riding through the trails or some people stopping to eat lunch or something not Illegal!

Anyway, that aside, thanks Iswjth2 for being there to defend us. More people need to help us out. I would do more but I really dont think anybody cares up here in Jacksonville and I cant drive yet so....

from this perspective, looks like Mr. Coletta needs a pat on the back for backing the ATVers.

Coletta deffinately needs a pat on the back. It's nice to see atleast someone that is in a position to do something is trying to.

Coletta is perhaps the only city commissioner that's on our side. I told him at an early meeting that we'll name a trail "Coletta"

thats awsome he is a member here and we know theres at least one person thats on our side. i cant believe they showed those kids driving down the sidewalk next to traffic. if i was some one of political immportance and knew absoulutly nothing about atvs and only saw that video i would certainly not fight for land to be put aside for atv'ers. the thought of one day not having any place to ride sucks. hopefully people in the atv community will see this on the news and be compelled to do something about this. thank you "lswjth2"

I agree with you to a certain extend, but you know how the media is.

maybe the media was trying to show that since theres no place to legally ride then riding on the sidewalk/street is what happens. give'm a place to ride and maybe they'll stop that. anyways it was a good article.

I agree with that, it's just like when they shut down Moroso in Broward, the racers took to the streets. If there are no places designated to ride, then people will take to the streets.

Awesome "lswjth2" WTG!!!!

good point KB, i didnt think of it that way. they should also have shown all the kids in the Honda "I Wanna Ride" Commercial crying
