[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1077195, member: 15983"] I would disagree or perhaps refine the point. For the new people getting into the sport large tires are much more of the norm and are certainly the trend. At Elbe a few weeks ago probably 80% of the rigs there would have been considered "big tire" rigs and a whole bunch of those were JEEPS. You are completely correct that the newer wheelers (as a rule) don't seem to be willing to put in the time that the old timers have in the past. That DOES spell demise for our trails. In recent work parties at Elbe anyway, we didn't have ANY old-timers helping out that I recall (athough I didn't see everyone that was there). We did see an influx of some younger folks and hopefully Joe can keep this rolling. I should clarify even a little more, an influx of newer wheelers as a few weren't so young but new to the sport. It wasn't the 200 people that we saw at the focus group but it was a better turnout than we've had for a while. I think losing the help from the old-timers has really hurt. There's a lot of knowledge being lost with their absence. I find that a shame. [/QUOTE]
