PLACERVILLE, CA (June 9) -- A national trail access group was the beneficiary of a substantial donation at a large motorcycle racing event in Northern California. On June 1, during the opening ceremonies at the 2008 AMA Motocross Championship at Hangtown, the BlueRibbon Coalition was presented with a $10,000 dollar check by District 36 of the American Motorcyclist Association.
On hand to present the check was the president and the board of directors from AMA D36, representatives from the American Motorcyclist Association, and members of the Dirt Diggers North Motorcycle Club.
Dave Pickett, president of AMA District 36, said, "This donation represents a strong commitment to our ongoing partnership with the BlueRibbon Coalition to promote and protect responsible OHV recreation on public lands in California and Western Nevada."
"This donation is fully supported by the AMA D36 Board of Directors and was presented on behalf of the membership it serves," Pickett said.
"Our organization understands the importance of working with other groups in a collaborative manner to champion access to riding areas on Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management lands. This battle takes money and this check restates our District's motto that it is time for the OHV community to put up or shut up," Pickett concludes.
