Pedal Driven 02/23/2012
Pedal Driven to be Shown at the Pickford
When: February 23, 8 pm
Where: Pickford Cinema
Why: Support the need for more legitimate trails on public lands In the pristine forests above Leavenworth, Washington, there exists a world of hidden trailheads and clandestine trails. Here a sect of outdoor enthusiasts, extreme mountain bikers called freeriders, have gone underground. They are the skate punks of the forest, unwelcome and under pressure to leave. The locations of their trails are carefully guarded secrets and the riders who ride them keep constant vigil, on the lookout for US Forest Service rangers.
PEDAL-DRIVEN is a non-profit documentary made in association with IMBA and in partnership with the United States Forest service that examines the shared philosophies of stewardship and sustainability from both sides and, ultimately, offers examples of the ways in which opposing factions can find common ground in defense of the lands that belong to us all.

Janicki had a VERY, VERY close call with a trail user today who did not observe the posted trail/road closures. It is imperative that trail users observe and obey all posted trail closure notices. Access to any of the active logging areas poses an extreme hazard to trail users. Logging crews are not expecting intrusion from the public into these areas and the equipment they operate does not allow for the visibility necessary to operate safely with the general public in the vicinity. Please help keep the mountain open while logging activities are occurring by obeying all posted signs, caution tape closing off roads and trails and spread the word. Thank you, WMBC Board |
