we do have them.... in some areas the situation is pretty bad.... bikers get fined without being stopped or cut in a raid by the agents.. they just take down the number plates of enduro bikes parked at some bar in the middle of the route, and fine them.

In my area is not so bad, but I've get cut in raids which are very popular... specially when summer comes.... next monday you see on the news that some bikers have been cut in the mountain riding through illegal routes (any mountain road with less than 4meters wide.. thats about 13 feet), and the city eco-snobs are all happy.

There's even been cases of people getting reported and brought to court for organising illegal races, just because they said to meet like any sunday on a forum... (of course... the trial did not prosper.. but any legal process like that is no joke...)

it's really stupid...

Catala,that is buracratic madness!How do get to legally ride in the forest?

i feel sorry for you guys, not being able to ride in forests
here in auckland we have 2 forests that are 30 minutes from the middle of the city. woodhill which is sand and has a permenantly set up bike park there and riverhead which has rides there every month during the summer plus enduros there aswell
im glad the pc crap hasnt got out of hand here about pollution and bikes, its nearly here tho...

we do ride in the forest... it's just that you have to understand that getting fined is something can happen... and if it happens, you answer appealing against everithing... and the sometimes they expire.... or they make mistakes...

Anyway... some say, that this situation is what makes our professionals so good in Trial and Enduro... always riding with extra attention, running away, hidding, and training in the most unnaccesible places .... they've developed a sixth sense

By the way, some Forest Corps ride with GG 4 Stroke engine (but they had lots of problems since they were the fist models that came out) or other enduro or trail bikes like TT or XT.... and some of them compete at some Enduro champioships

We are spoilt here for riding area.But as Noobi said the PC greeny tide of bullshit is creepy in.The forest corps sounds like a great job though.Chase people in the forest all day yeehaaa,give me some of that action.
