After what I have seen lately. I have decided that the core of us riders (most if not all read this forum) need to start being more active in talking to people about safe practices and approaching people who are being dangerous. I must say that I am the live and let live type, but I feel that I really need to make a solid effort to both help and confront when needed. The rick situation raises an interesting point. Why aren't we being more hostile toward him? Should we "let" him ride our spots without making things right with Russky? This is more a questions than a statement.
And another questions...how far should/can we go in getting rid of someone who endangers us/others? Also I like the idea of passing out local standards or best practices to anyone who we do not know. We could all carry some fliers in our kite bags. I don't know if it would help, but cannot hurt!
