Most do a great job of being funny (sarcastic and witty) and only a few take the occational stroll across the line.. And most members are quick to break out teh big stick and beat them back to reality.

If it was not for the humor and comraderie I see on the site, I would not waste my time here

as a group we gotta get over the "seemingly terrible" act of crashing. if u r an outdoor guy, and i mean everything fromatv's, sleds, heavenforbid skateboards, deep snow skiier/boarder, hiker or etc, it comes with the frickin' territory...! quit worrying about what everybody thinks if we bend something. they aint gonna close off our access to places 'cause of a little bent metal. go land these places if u want to. do it responsibly. do it with respect to leave it pristine for everyone else. best yet, get a local CFI, and there are some damn good ones to go with you! challis to mccall, u can find a pro if u ask, do it and it is $ well spent.

granted, we dont need the neg publicity, but still we have a right to be there as much as anyone else...SO, if u should end up at JC, like i have damn it 7 years ago with a crunched bird,use it as a motivator to get a little better at it, dust yourself off, and get goin'...with a little help...!
