Risk, Goals, and the NMA Emblem
Are off-road riding opportunities at risk?
A dirt bike is not much good without places to ride. It seems to defy logic, but the fact is we have several enemies who have stated mission to eliminate all ORV use on public land. Although the NMA has been instrumental in establishing and formalizing ORV opportunities and funding in Washington State, we have still lost over half of our trail mileage in the last 20 years.
Areas like Cle Elum, Harts Lake, Sultan Basin, and some high mountain trails in the Wenatchee National Forest, can no longer be enjoyed as hundreds and thousands did before. And now, prime trails (which are seldom used by any non-ORV users) in the Gifford National Forest are under attack.
By joining the NMA, you can help ensure the rights of off-road motorcyclist to participate in a valuable and rewarding sport. Without your support, it's possible off-road motorcycling will be severely restricted or eliminated in the future.
Goals for the NMA
- To protect and increase funding available for our trails and to ensure funds are wisely spent
- To maintain constructive, positive, and cooperative relationships with all land managers
- To educate trail users on etiquette, maintenance, and appropriated usage of the resources
- To coordinate volunteer efforts to preserve our sport and perform on-the-ground trail maintenance
- To monitor and work with our elected representatives; local, state, and federal to ensure proper focus on our mission
- To serve as an umbrella organization coordinating the activies of dozens of state wide ORV clubs
- To work together for the common good with other trail users and their organziations, including 4WD, ATV, equestrian, and mountain bikers.
