Jim Marlar aka "CrazyJim"

Question for all candidates:

The topic of alcohol on the trail has been brought up. However, I don't think the issue has been full addressed. Alcohol on the trail is not only illegal, but it is also dangerous, even if it's ONE beer.

I have heard members, including board members, take a stance on "no alcohol on the trail." BUT, I have seen beer and hard liquor on official and non-official trail runs numerous times.

What is your plan of action to promote a safe and alcoholic free trail runs? AND, if you or any other member sees alcohol on the trail, what will you do? Ask them to leave the run? Give them a "time-out" from the forum?

I know that everyone talks a good game, but alcohol on the trail of official and non-official runs looks poorly on NAXJA as a whole.

Keep in mind that drinking and driving is illegal whether it's on pavement or a dirt road, and even if you stop for lunch.

Sorry Cracker but I can think for myself. :D

Not that you and Brendan can't. It is that Remi thinks he can influence you.

This is the main reason he has hammered this thread (Jim's) with questions that should be submitted to all candidates.

Let me know when you have your tinfoil hat off...... He made a post which resulted in me asking him a question which resulted in him posting an answer which made me ask another question based on the answer. That's how communication thing works: one thing causes another.

Anyways, how about you let things get back on track?

I just wanna say that alcohol on the trail is a complete waste and every effort should be made to ensure no alcohol is spilled on the trail! :D :confused1

J/K guys, this is a very good question and a valid point.

When you start grilling the other candidates the same way you have grilled Jim, things will get back to normal.
 
Drinking and driving is illegal.
NAXJA does not allow drinking on official NAXJA runs.
We have no control over non official runs.

However...... You will almost never find my cooler devoid of beer when I'm out wheelin'. THE exception being, I do not bring beer with me to SoCal Fest runs. Other than that, when I finish a trail, I want a beer.
Simple as that...

And the one with lunch?
 
Questions and concerns are to be expected, and are very healthy in an election thread. However, attacking each other isn't going to solve anything, and you can take that to the bank.


Remi is a really cool guy, a competent wheeler and he cares about NAXJA. If you feel he has come up short in his leadership, you are of course welcome to say that. Remi, I feel that you aren't fit to lead NAXJA. I think that says it about well, and everyone will know your stance, and get the meaning. Insults are for children.


Jim is a cool guy, too! He's a “go fast guy”, so I don't believe I have ever actually wheeled with him, because I like 4 MPH and one hand on the CB style trails. ;) However, as with Remi, if you have questions, by all means ask them! But leave the Romper Room mentality at home – they have no business in an off-road club.


I have attended the last 3 SoCalFests, and have never been disappointed. The raffle is always good, the food is always good, and the campfire time is always fun. Then again, that's all I really expect out of a good run. Wheeling, food, beer, camping, wheeling again. I can't see how it's fallen short.


As for more organized events, that would be super cool! But, frankly, there are enough `side runs` for my transfer case to be in low-range most of the year, and in my experience, NAXJA folks are always ready to run!


Are there chumps in the club? Oh, you better believe it! Do we all know who they are? Yes. Yes, we do. Are they any of the folks running for a position? Not in my opinion. Although, some are steadily climbing the ladder to full-blown chump quickly in my book.


In short, I realize that I'm just a member, and really have no say either way, but I would sure like to see some more camaraderie here. Remember, we are all here because we like OFF-ROAD activities, camping, trail clean-ups, etc. It really serves our cause well if we can put the bickering aside and band together. You know, the whole together we stand, divided we fall bit.


Let's show 'em what NAXJA is made of, gang! :)

Well said Mr writer guy! :paperwork
 
I'm relatively new here at NAXJA... So without opening a can of worms... why have people not been renewing their red letter memberships? Fill me in, I'm out of the loop.

I want to have a little background before forming an opinion and voting.
