Nice article. You might find this video of interest. Dillon O is the exec director of Sage Trail Alliance in Santa Barbara. He is among a new wave of younger trail advocates/enviromentalists.
Timely article James. With the recent MTB boom there are lots of newbies on the trails that have no idea what we’ve lost, or could lose. For most, all they know is what they see in the adds and on YouTube. Which usually involves tearing down a trail and catching big air. So when you write “who cares”, that’s the feeling I get from them. Hate to sound so negative, it’s generally not my nature. I try to follow my parents advice and leave a place better than I found it. Wish more people did the same.
Thanks, Michael. I hear you. While not easy, we have to somehow work together so that "who cares" is not dominant. If that happens, we all lose. Keep it positive! --James
