I believe with leadership and
support at the regional and forest
level that users can partner with
agency staff, other stakeholder
groups, local government offi-
cials, and states with grant fund-
ing sources to plan for and imple-
ment high-quality trail programs
for all vehicle types including mo-
torcycle trails for the single-track
enthusiasts.
Single-track motorcycle fans
should also consider joining na-
tional trail advocacy organiza-
tions such as the BlueRibbon
Coalition and their state and lo-
cal clubs. Being engaged on all
fronts is the most effective strate-
gy in the preservation of the OHV
trail experience.

ROCZEN, WEBB HONORED
T
he AMA announced last week
that Red Bull KTM's Ken Roc-
zen and Yamalube Star Racing Ya-
maha's Cooper Webb are the 2014
AMA Supercross Rookies of the
Year due to their strong showings
during the 2014 Monster Energy
AMA Supercross Series in the 450
and 250 SX classes, respectively.
"Both of these riders had out-
standing seasons," said AMA Su-
percross Director Kevin Crowther.
"Ken and Cooper have shown
repeatedly that they are part of
the AMA Supercross competitive
landscape, and will be for years to
come. We congratulate them on their performances
in 2014."
AMA Rookie of the Year honors are awarded to
the eligible rookie rider with the most points accu-
mulated in each class.
Roczen finished third in the AMA 450 SX Champi-
onship in his first season in the premiere class. The
German, who won the AMA 250 SX West title before
moving to the 450 SX class full-time in 2014, won
two main events this year - Anaheim I and Atlanta -
in addition to finishing on the podium six additional
times.
Webb, from Newport, North Carolina, finished
fifth in the AMA 250 SX West Region Champion-
ships in what was his first season as a pro. Webb
had two second-place finishes in AMA 250 SX West.
Ken Roczen won
the 450 Supercross
class Rookie of the
Year honors.
Cooper Webb
did likewise
in the 250 SX
class.
