So you want to reserve your weekends for seat time on the trail or track? We don’t blame you! There are plenty other ways to help that won’t cut into precious riding time. Here's a few ideas to consider.
Media and Content
For the creative types, we could sometimes use a hand in creating various types of media, such as flyers and pamphlets and motorcycle event inserts. New content for the website, such as pictures and stories, is always worth consideration as well! We have a Rides and Reports section where your story could get published on the website!
The NMA also mails out a quarterly publication for NMA members. It’s called the Off Roader. We’re always looking for good “tips and tricks” to add to it. Another goody you’ll find in the Off Roader is member-submitted stories. Got a good story and pictures to share? Send in a copy of your story and you may just find yourself in print!
Land Use and Legislative Issues
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes affecting riding areas? There’s a way to find out. NMA volunteers participate in planning and legislative sessions throughout the year, making sure our voices are heard. Attending some of these sessions is not only a chance to meet some of the “insiders” on legal and land use issues affecting dirt biking, but also a chance for you to speak your voice. Check out the Riders Rights section to find out what is going on.
Technology
Hey techno-geeks! The NMA is always looking for ways to leverage technologies to enhance the website, improve communications, and “virtualize” the off-road community in the Pacific Northwest. Got some ideas you want to share? Give us a shout. Maybe we can implement something!
Task Oriented
Can’t figure out where to squeeze in time to help out? Well, who doesn’t like an excuse to go to the bike shop? Sometimes there are one-time tasks like picking up flyers and pamphlets for distributing at bike shops. Only takes a little bit of time, but helps our causes immensely!
