Trail Leaders

I wouldn't be too worried about what Bg said. Last time I checked he's not the organizer of this event.

No I'm not.
I stated an opinion, and you are free to have yours.
Hasta.

EDIT: I was referring to preparedness in terms of tools, miles under the belt, experience coaching noobs, etc.
I just wanted things to go smoothly.
My bad.

DISCLAIMOR: I am having a rotten week, and am decisively more aggro than usual. Bear with me, please.

FWIW, I've run Green at least a dozen times, including a few times on 31s, 2.5" lift, and no rocker protection. I've also been all over that area on my ATV. Just don't want anyone to think I'll be leading them out there to die :rolleyes: That said, if there's enough volunteers, and others are as or more qualified, I'll be perfectly happy following. I just wanted to help out.
 
Can we stop this shit right now?

jesus fawkin christ.....

there's no reason for this to turn into a soap opera....

I took my shit to PM and we're straight....

lets move on......

If big cntry is still up for it, he will lead orange trail.

ANYONE is free to volunteer, and scott mac and i will take things under consideration. I understand big country's opinion on the matter, and I understand his intent....he just wants to keep things neat and clean, and i respect that.....no harm no foul.

lets move on, there's plenty to talk about....

be on the lookout for my next post, I have an event sticker that will be available "at cost" for four bucks each to all interested attendees....The design is cool, many of you will recognize it....

hope you like it......
 
Beezil,

I want to lead a trail! The starting line up will have to be in JV though.

I have no experience and a bad attitude, will I work?

The only requirements for trail leader are, experience in the level of the trail you're leading. Must have run the trail at least once in the past. Would like have them to be able to pre run the trail on the Friday before the event or have ran within' the past few months before the event. To posses good enough people skills where the folks you are leading are having a great time.

Green leader is Lesslimited
Orange leader is BigCountry
Pink leader TBD (any volunteers?)

Trail leaders will be able to pick their tail gunners out of the group on Saturday morning, if you can't find somebody to volunteer before hand.

This is Attica Indiana, not Moab Utah, not the Rubicon, not a big Jamboree.
The is a weekend get together that's sponsored by NAXJA.
And on that note all vehicles must meet NAXJA requirements.

SPONSORED EVENTS AND TRIP RULES

A Sponsored event is by definition an event in which NAXJA formally recognizes the Event as a NAXJA Event, and the Event is attended by at least one Director. Chapter Events must meet the same criteria. Formal recognition of an Event will be established by Board of Director voting procedures, and subsequent publication on the NAXJA website.

Event Regulations

Each Event will have an assigned Trail Master. The Trail Master will lead the Event always with safety in mind. The Trail Master will have ultimate decision making authority for “go/no-go” Event decisions, unless a higher ranking Officer is present at the Event, in which case that Officer has unilateral decision making authority. All event Attendees will follow Trail Master/Officer instructions at all times;

Events only consist of the off-road trail rides or other specially designated activities. The Event begins at the time of the pre-run Driver’s Meeting or functional equivalent, and ends when the group returns to a designated point. For multi-day events, this means that the NAXJA will not organize or coordinate camping or other activities, except as a service to the Members. The Event itself is limited to the organized trail rides;

If the designated Director fails to show up for a scheduled Event, that event is automatically canceled as a NAXJA Event. Any further activity by NAXJA Members or others will not be affiliated with NAXJA;

Each Attendee is ultimately responsible for his or her own safety. Safety concerns should be brought up to the Trail Master or an attending Officer immediately;

Members who choose to bring Guests on an Event are solely responsible for those Guests. Should the Trail Master or Officer determine that any Guest is posing a risk to safety, or simply to the enjoyment of the Event itself, that Guest may be asked to leave via host Member escort provided it is deemed safe to do so by the present ranking Director and/or Trail Master;

All participants must be defined as an Attendee, i.e., either Member or Guest. At no time will any other vehicle be allowed to join any Event. The Trail Master and/or Officer will enforce this policy;

Attendees will notify the Trail Master or an Officer prior to leaving the group for any reason. While NAXJA Directors cannot physically restrain any Attendee to prevent them from leaving, a safety assessment shall be made prior to approving any such action;

Attendees will adhere to Tread Lightly principles at all times. This includes the environment and also the Attendee’s vehicle. Attendees will not put their vehicles at undue risk of damage that would potentially delay the progress of an Event. The Trail Master and/or Officers will monitor Tread Lightly principles, and failure to comply may result in an Attendee being dismissed from an Event;

Alcoholic beverages and other controlled substances are prohibited while driving on or off-road. This includes consumption prior to an Event. Failure to comply will result in dismissal from the Event and probable termination of Membership;

Attendees shall dispose of all trash in designated containers or haul it back out in their vehicle;

No firearms shall be exposed or discharged at any time;

Attendees bringing pets must control them at all times;

Profane language should be used with discretion as NAXJA Events are family focused and there is a likelihood of small children being present.

All vehicles must have the following equipment to attend the off road portion NAXJA sponsored Events

Legally required automobile insurance and registration;

Fire extinguisher;

First Aid Kit;

Tow Rope (no metal hooks allowed), Tow Chain, or Winch;

Safety belts;

Spare tire, jack, and lug wrench;

Hooks both front and rear (or suitable attaching point)

CB (HIGHLY recommended, but not mandatory)
 
I have an idea, last year there were only 6 rigs that ran orange and about 20 ran green on Saturday. I was only planning on running green but since the group going that way was larger I went orange. Can we try to cut the group size down to about 10 each and stager the leaving times. It seems to be more enjoyable with the smaller groups as long as the "stop and chit chat" is left at a minimum.

Just a thought
 
Can we still run with the trail leaders if we are going to be there on Friday? Or are we on our own? Not trying to be an a$$, and figured it wouldn't be a problem, but wanted to double check.

mac 'only been to attica about 40-50 times in the last four years' gyvr
 
OK, guess i'll have to invite the INJT peps down then....

mac 'this would be the first time that it happened on purpose tho' gyvr
 
I am calling the A.S.P.C.A.

My dead horse is being dragged around the yard.
bg 'im an asshole but I mean well' cntry72
 
see you on friday.

anyone is free to wheel on friday if they want to, but the trail leaders will probably want to zip through the trails unhindered by a larger group if that is possible, just be aware that daylight hours are short, and those guys need to boogie.
