Who says the public owes you a place to hike?  There are thousands 
of miles of public roads you can walk on.  (See the flaw in this logic?)
BTW, the "environmental laws" were passed by folks that generally have 
no knowledge of what really takes place on an offroad trail ride.

Do you get the same enjoyment from hiking through a City Park as you do 
hiking through a Wilderness area?  I didn't think so.  Same rules applies
to OFF ROAD bikes.

Sure, you can race Bulldozers.  Lets find you a nice parking lot somewhere.
What?  Thats not what you meant?  O well, thats not my problem is it?  I 
gave you a 'place to Bulldozer race', that's all thats important.

Have you ever done any first hand research or just believe everything you read?

Since I'm active in repairing bridges, trails, and trailheads, I get to see
*first* *hand* what trails that haven't been ridden look like.
