here around home and other places the government is stopping people from off road riding,taking our trails we have used for years,(before they was used for old logging roads,and old dirt road used to get from on place to the next)and they are saying they are now protected,due to fresh water streams and natural forest land.We just got fined for being on natural forest land when we totally advoided the natural forest parts,we stayed off the forest marked Natural Forest.So now everyone is forced to go to places where the riding is all gravel with lil' road mud holes to drive through.So sad.Have you been in this trouble yet.If you haven't it will come.It has here around my home.And the sad part of it is, we own along side much of the protected places they wont let us on.

There is not many places here in Australia also, you are not allowed in the state forests, although we sneak in there anyway, we stay on the trails, they would have to catch us anyway, because we know hidden places and trails anyway...lol. But there is only a few liscenced riding places and we usually go to out local beach to ride on which is allowed as long as the quad in registered...But to keep out of trouble we have a few friends places that we can go to.

It stinks how they ruin everyones fun.They places they give us to ride isn't fun.Here we have creeks that is deep and rocks to climb,huge mud holes to run through if you have 4 wheel drive,and some steep hills to climb.We have one place so far isn't marked yet, and it is pretty cool.But the trail to the big mud sling area is sooooo simple that my son who hasn't been riding along took his dirt bike right to thje place with no trouble at all, except when we was on our way back out he ran over some dump junk and it was trailer underpinning and he got his foot peg caught on it which cause him to basically run over his foot and leg and turn over and so on, cause me a dr. bill for them to say he was lucky he didn't break it.But that place wont be there long once the gov. finds out about it,if they haven't already.
