BRC ISSUES CODE RED ACTION ALERT!
A
ttention California off-road-
ers! It's time to take action.
The Blue Ribbon Coalition
(BRC) and Don Amador have is-
sued a "Code Red Action Alert"
in an effort to save the California
OHV program. The following is
from the BRC website, share-
trails.org:
BRC believes one of the most
critical access issues in 2017
is for CA OHV recreationists to
engage in the battle to reautho-
rize the current OHV program
(SB742). This is a very complex
legislative process. The fight will
occur in stages over the next
few months. Anti-access groups
are hard at work to gut the cur-
rent program via the introduction
of SB 249.
Please write your own letter
on your personal, club or busi-
ness logo and mail it in ASAP. If
you would like to see a copy of
your letter hand delivered to the
committee before the March 14
hearing, please send it via email
to brdon@sharetrails.org.
Your letter does not have
to be long. Be respectful and
concise. Explain what the OHV
program means to you. You will
be asking the Committee Chair-
man and Committee Members
to OPPOSE SB 249 (Allen).
Some of the issues to con-
sider include the OHV program's
economic impact on rural areas.
This national "Gold Standard"
of OHV management, has an
annual $20B economic impact,
protects natural and cultural
resources, serves approximately
6 million OHV recreationists and
partners with county sheriffs/
resource conservation districts/
conservation groups. Since
80% of OHV recreation occurs
on federal lands it also partners
with the Forest Service and Bu-
reau of Land Management, etc.

WEBB STARS IN AUSTRALIA SUPER ENDURO-X
A
handful of hard enduro's finest
headed Down Under to take part in
the Clipsal 500 Adelaide Super Enduro-
X—a new hybrid of supercross and
endurocross elements put together for a
three-day race, which served as part of
the Adelaide 500 V8 Supercar event.
Factory FMF/KTM's Cody Webb,
Husqvarna's Mike Brown and SRT
Husqvarna's Kyle Redmond all made
the trek to southern Australia for the
event, where they took on Australians
Tye Simmonds and Cheyne Boyd to
battle for supremacy. After three days
of racing, it was not surprisingly Cody
Webb who racked up the most wins, with Brown
also capitalizing on his varied background to
wrestle a few wins away from Webb.
The course featured a mix of supercross-type
rhythms and EnduroCross-style obstacles in what
was a fast and challenging course. In this video,
Webb, Brown and Simmonds describe some of
the track elements at the 2017 event. Watch the
Adelaide 500 YouTube channel for the coming
event recap video of this year's race.CN
