Today I meet Mr. Hill, a land owner in SE Ohio. It so happens he owns property around an unmaintained road I enjoy riding. He granted me permission to continue riding thru his land but ask me to relay a message I've heard again and again. Respect the private property, stay on the trail and tread lightly. As many know SE ohio has a large amount of trails but they are slowly being closed off, gated and posted with "No Trespassing" signs. We need to spread the word to drunken four wheelers, people who poach trails on private land, and are destructive to the trails to stop! All they are doing is angering land owners who will inevitably close them off to everyone. This is what happened to Mr Hill. I had not been down there in two years and to see the destruction a bunch of quad riders did to his land was incredible and has left the trail almost unusable. I hope that as a community of riders we can police ourselves and instill the necessity for responsible riding. If you wanna tear shit up, buy your own land or join a motocross club with trails for you to destroy. To those who are as frustrate as I am by the acts of a few who ruin it for the rest of us spread th word to fellow riders, help police the trails and talk to locals and land owners about what we can do to help. A little understanding and vigilance goes a long way.
