It'll only help to promote a better image of us, and with all the riding areas that are closing, we can use all the help we can get.

13. Shared use principles...
If there's a log across the trail, leave it alone. That might be someone's favorite part of the trail. The same for rocks and other obstacles. Don't cut down trees or widen an existing trail.
If your vehicle doesn't fit on a trail, ride somewhere else. If you find the urge to take a chain saw, winch, or pruners to an existing trail, don't be surprised to find another user trying to shove them up your tail pipe. It's just plain rude.
I've had this done to a trail I ride and it just plain p!$$*d me off. The trail led into a rather deep but solid bottomed hole and I always looked forward to wallowing in it a little, well one time I cam up to my hole and found a pine tree in the middle of it, there was barely enough room to go through the hole without getting cought up in the tree. Well a little farther down the trail at a common gathering place I was b!t%^!ng and moaning about the tree in the road and a guy said that he had done it and cut a trail around the hole so that people wouldn't "have to" go through it. I let him know that he may not like to ride deep but I thoroughly enjoyed it and his blocking the old way was NOT appreciated.
