guage ensures the safety of the
residents in the Johnson Valley
area and provides an adequate
training area for the U.S. Marines
stationed at the Marine Corps Air
Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms.
Specifically, Cook's language
designates the Johnson Valley
OHV area as the Johnson Valley
Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation
Area, which will be managed by
the U.S. Department of the Interior. The area is designated
specifically for recreational uses
including, but not limited to, OHV
use, camping and hiking. Marine
Corps activities would be allowed
in a shared-use area twice a year
for a maximum of 60 days and
would require use of "non-dud
producing ordnance."
The bill now goes to the House
and Senate floors for approval
before going to the president to
be signed into law.

KNIGHT CLAIMS
SUPERENDURO WIN
S
herco's David Knight came
away with the overall victory
in round two of the Super Enduro
Championship in Lodz, Poland,
on December 13, beating Poland's own Taddy Blazusiak and
Spain's Dani Gibert.
In the three-race format,
Knight came out swinging, taking the holeshot and never letting
go for the win, while Blazusiak,
the five-time AMA EnduroCross
Champion, struggled in the middle of the pack after getting off
to a bad start. The Red Bull/KTM
rider went on to finish fourth.
Frenchman Mathias Bellino
and Brit Danny McCanny finished
second and third, respectively, in
the opening race.
As usual in the Super Enduro
Championship, the second race
starts in reverse finishing order
from the opening race and the
top riders had to fight their way
up through the pack, including
Knight and Blazusiak, on what
was a very challenging racecourse. Gibert took control of
the race just past the halfway
