[QUOTE="Travis1, post: 1077213, member: 16253"] You do realize that is akin to telling the older crowd they are too old and need to go out to the pasture to make way for the younger crowd. I don't know if that's what you intended when you wrote that, but it sounded a lot like telling the older folks they need to hang up their keys and work the big picture for the younger crowd. The younger guys need to be willing to listen. The younger guys also need to be willing to respect what their "elders" have done for the last 50 years. Of the older crowd I have talked to, they tend to feel there is little/no respect for what they have done and based on the actions of the newer crowd. Based on what I read online I woudln't say that is a totally unfair determination. Here's something else to ponder. Of the work parties that go on out there, how often do you see an owner of a buggy on 40's show up to help mend a trail built for those on 33's and keep it that way? In my experience that is RARE, and the few that do tend to have been in the sport for a decade or more and decided to build their rig to that point so they understand what I am talking about. So, are you seriously asking the "older crowd" to help "improve" trail they have known for decades to the point that they can't drive it anymore. Then at the same time never offer to help them work on trails suited for their vehicles? (Dale you may help, but in general the younger community doesn't.) Seriously, I'm not looking for a fight here. Just pointing out what I have seen, the feelings behind it (the non-gay type) and just offering something to think about. [/QUOTE]
