Grassroots and Industry Urge Permanent Fix to Controversial Youth-Model Bike/ATV Ban
Pocatello, ID (January 14) – A report that is due to Congress from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has sparked a renewed effort by off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts to completely remove a ban on youth-model off-highway motorcycles and ATVs. The youth-model ban is a result of the CPSC’s interpretation of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), a law originally intended to ban the importation of children’s toys containing lead-based paint.
The powersports industry, individual dealerships and off-highway vehicle advocacy groups have been working hard to rescind the ban. OHV advocates believe the January 15 CPSC report provides an opportunity to move a final solution forward.
The BlueRibbon Coalition, a national grassroots OHV advocacy group is encouraging their members to contact their congressional representatives and urge them to take action to end the unfair ban. BRC’s Call to Action can be found here: http://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/?alert=1105

Report to Congress is Opportunity to Completely Rescind Youth Model OHV Ban
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED
As you know, BRC has been participating in efforts to rescind a youth-model off-highway motorcycle and ATV ban along with other state, local and national OHV advocacy groups. The next few days offer a golden opportunity to completely remove the ban.
But we need your help. OHV groups have met with agency officials and politicians. We have the acknowledgment that the youth-model ban was not Congress’s intent when they passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). But the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), the government agency charged with implementing the law, says their hands are tied. There are several solutions available, but both Congress and the agency need to act.
We believe that a report from CPSC to Congress regarding CPSIA gives our community a golden opportunity to fix this lousy situation. Our action item is below. We have tried to make it as easy as possible so it won’t take unnecessary time away from work and family.
CPSC’s report is due January 15, 2010. The next few days present a key opportunity, and BRC is most influential when our membership makes their voices heard.
Please take a few minutes to complete the action item, and please also forward this alert to your friends, family and riding buddies.
Let’s not miss this opportunity,
Brian Hawthorne

New ARB Sport Camp Chair
Seattle, January 4/ ARB 4×4 Accessories/ – One of the biggest problems with camping chairs on the market today is that they are built to meet a price point which effectively means they are not built to last. So when ARB started looking for a camp chair, number one on the list of priorities was strength and durability.

At Last, an ARB Snorkel for Your Jeep Wrangler JK Safari
ARB USA now offers a Safari Snorkel System for the popular Jeep Wrangler JK. This new accessory serves two primary functions that JK owners will appreciate when taking their vehicle off-road. First, and most obvious, the Safari Snorkel relocates the factory air intake position approximately 28″ higher to prevent water ingestion when negotiating stream crossings. Even in relatively shallow water, the nose of the vehicle can easily become submerged as the front wheels drop into a stream or water hole and the rear wheels still on high ground.

Portland, OR. – Folding a map may not be the easiest thing for some people, but finding the right map of Federal public lands in the Northwest – and finding New Princeton – has just become a whole lot easier for everyone! Hint: It’s in southeast Oregon.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has recently produced wall-size maps showcasing the vast array of both Oregon and Washington public lands. The Oregon and Washington maps are a significant update to versions that were created in 1994.
