I love the effort but my only problem is that the OMTA is looking to get like $20,000 per mile to open a new trail in Ohio. The State isn't going to pay for that as they are finding out. I was supprized to find that the OMTA already has a "construction cantractor" for building trails. WOW!!!! too much politics and too many people wanting "tax dollars"! It does not cost anywhere near $20k per mile to develop trails. Private parks don't pay that kind of money, and most times get volunteers to come help develop trails from clubs like ours. The OMTA should be more concerned with getting Lan Use privilages and then utilize all the offroad clubs for support in opening trails and donations "if" any construction cost for heavy equipment are actually needed, instead of trying to go after 6 figures worth of state tax money!

OK just my 2cents, we all do need to support our sport!
