Yesterday the offroading community lost a true leader when Roy Denner, founder of the Off Road Business Association passed away after a 2 year battle with cancer. Roy was key in helping the offroad industry with legal battles. He, along with his efforts, will be missed greatly. Our thoughts go out to Nancy and their close friends. SAN DIEGO OFF ROAD MAGAZINE Monday, September 28, 2009 We are saddened to report the loss of a dynamic, passionate crusader for off road rights. Roy Denner, founder of the Off Road Business Association passed away today, September 28, 2009 after a 23 month battle with pancreatic cancer. Roy slipped away quietly in his home in the presence of his wife of 52 years. Nancy writes “he took his last breath while I was giving him a goodbye kiss. He had a very peaceful, pain free passing. His long battle is finally over and he is at peace. I am surrounded by close friends and family.” Roy devoted the last 15+ years of his life fighting legal battles on behalf of off road enthusiasts. He invested so many thousands of hours into this endeavor that in his final years he scarcely had time to participate in the sport himself. Roy will be missed by many and we are all deeply indebted to the Denner family. Sincerely, Steve & Sherri Kukla from the ASA website Jon Crowley over at UTVWeekly.com wrote a great tribute to Roy Denner.

Thad JoseyLast weekend I did something that I ve not done in a very long time.Hey guys,Last weekend I did something that I ve not done in a very long time. Mike, Johnny, Austin and myself put down the cameras and headed out to just ride. Usually when we go out, we are doing some sort of testing, photos or whatever for the magazine. I love my job; so don t take that the wrong way. But sometimes, you just have to leave the work behind and ride for fun. And that s what we did.We packed up the trailer with the Can-Am DS450, Mikes woods built Suzuki LTR-450 (which is sweet by the way), Polaris Outlaw 525S and a Yamaha YFZ-450 and headed to Durhamtown Plantation in East Georgia. It probably cost us $200 in fuel with travel and filling up the quads. Oh well! We really didn t care what we were riding, so long as we were riding. It was really dusty and dry, but we had such a blast just riding for the fun of it. Did I mention it was like 100 degrees out? We switched quads about every hour so that we could experience something a little different. If you ever get a chance, this is a great way to spend your day riding with your buddies. Switch machines about every hour.We got to put in some laps on the MX track, hit a ton of ATV trails and even explored a new area (a new off-road jeep park) that DP is in the progress of opening up. And to top it all off, we got a ton of laughs as Austin kept smacking into trees. To be honest, spending this day out riding was just what I needed to clear my head. I just wanted to share a positive experience that was great for me. Just get out and ride for fun when you can. It s my free form of therapy.Thad JoseyEditor-ATV Rider MagazineRead More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us

Bad Science Abounds: Reasons for Tellico OHV Closure Seem Earily Similar to Unfair PMV Closures at the ISDRA
Last week the United States Forest Service (USFS) released a document saying they would permanently close the Tellico Trail system despite the results of an independent study discounting the reasons for the proposed closure. Caliber Engineering demonstrated that an effective management strategy for the Tellico Trail System would work and even provided examples on how to achieve the management goal. The Forest Service has used extreme scenarios and peek conditions to make it’s case about the water quality issue with the Tellico River. The same tactics have been used in the past with the Piersons’ Milk Vetch (PMV) in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area to close areas of Glamis. Even though independent study by a well known botanist proved that the PMV was not in danger from OHV activity in the dunes with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in which over half of the previously listed animals put on the endangered species list were removed due to errant data collected and reported by The Center For Biological Diversity (CBD) and The Sierra Club. According to UTV Weekly, Chairman of the Rescue Tellico Committee, Jay Bird said “The Tellico River is in excellent shape and complies with all legal requirements. Only through blatant modification of proper methodology, such as measuring turbidity levels during peak runoff, can the Forest Service claim there is legal basis to take any action, let alone closure.”Bad Science Abounds: Reasons for Tellico OHV Closure Seem Earily Similar to Unfair PMV Closures at the ISDRA originally appeared on About.com ATVs / Offroading on Monday, October 26th, 2009 at 10:06:31.Permalink | Comment | Email this
Halloween Event at Glamis Sand Dunes to Offer Free ATV Safety Classes
Halloween at Glamis sand dunes has marked the beginning of desert season for the offroading community in southern California and Arizona for generations. OHVers flock to the Imperial Sand Dune Recreation Area (ISDRA) to ride ATVs, motorcycles and buggies of all types. This year the Dune Tour Spooktacular will be held in the ISDRA behind the Glamis Beach Store on October 30th and 31st in Glamis, Ca. and The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute (ASI) will be offering free ATV safety training courses at 9am and 1pm Friday and Saturday during the event. The ASI provides very good ATV safety training and is especially good with children. They explain things in a way that helps kids understand how ATV safety works instead of just telling them to be safe by doing this or this. Keep in mind while you’re out there, the dunes are different every year. They can even change from day to day. When you are coming to the top of a dune, never go straight over unless you’re there to jump and have a spotter. Otherwise you should cross while riding parallel to the ridge so you can see what’s on the other side.Halloween Event at Glamis Sand Dunes to Offer Free ATV Safety Classes originally appeared on About.com ATVs / Offroading on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 23:29:58.Permalink | Comment | Email this
