Hey Folks, Fall Fling is less than 90 days away and we need to firm up commitments for Trail Leaders for this event.

Leading a trail does NOT require intimate knowledge of every inch of the trail and the ability to name each obstacle in order, forwards and back.

It does require the ability to operate your own rig, possession of a fully functional CB to communicate with your group, and the ability to keep the group together. Tailgunners will be there to assist as well.

Leaders must be registered NAXJA Event Participants.

The majority of the trails around Moab are well marked and there are map/GPS resources available to guide you along the way.

Trail rating scale, compliments of Red Rock 4 Wheelers.

PM me with the trail name and date you can lead.

NAXJA Requirements for Event Participation
NAXJA VERY HIGHLY recommends that all event participants have a CB Radio.
NAXJA requires all listed items to be present, and available for use, for a vehicle to be permitted to participate in a event. Participants are expected to stow equipment and all other items within their vehicle in a safe manner, conscious of the effects of OHV use and possible shifting of items.
NAXJA Safety Inspectors will use this list for safety inspections prior to any event. The Safety Inspector has final say in approval or rejection of any vehicle for event participation and may at anytime defer to a second event or club officer for additional ruling.
Each event participant is expected to carry insurance and registration sufficient to meet the legal requirements of their vehicle state of residence and for the roads and trails traveled for the event.
NAXJA is not responsible for assuring an entrant's vehicle is legal for the roads and trails traveled in the event.

Required Equipment List to pass NAXJA Safety inspection

Visibly charged fire extinguisher (BC or ABC)
First aid kit
Adequate spare tire, jack and lug wrench
Safety belts for driver and any current passenger
Adequate attachment points in the front and rear of the vehicle.
Acceptable forms of attachment points: (All Items must be mounted in a manner to provide adequate strength and integrity)
Tow hooks of OEM or greater integrity
D-Rings
Shackle/Clevis
20ft 10,000lb snatch strap without any metal hooks
Secured battery (no bungee cords)

Thanks in advance for stepping up and helping to make the 15th Annual Fall Fling a great one!
 
So, I'll go ahead and ask this...how "line in the sand" is NAXJA about the following?

I've been around NAXJA over a decade now...and know sometimes it's more "should" than "have to".

I don't carry a spare (though I do carry tire patches/plugs)...since my rig is a weeee bit different than most here.

I don't carry a strap or shackles, but I have winch cable and a d-ring.

As far as leaders for trails...is there a list of proposed trails yet?

Typically spare tire can be waived at the trail leaders' discretion.

I would carry a strap and shackles even with a winch line, it can help yourself and others. Plus if you really mess up you might need to run that winch line off a few things :cheers:
 
You can put me down to lead sevenmile. And if no one else steps up fins.
