That is true in some cases. The organized off road clubs take extremely good care of the land. Many such groups sponsor outings where the club cleans up the area, campgrounds, trail repair etc. Its a few individuals that mess it up. Perhaps keep off road areas open but to organized clubs only that agree to periodic cleanups?
Seriously!?! Clubs only?!?!?! That is TOTAL BS. I was with you until that point was made.
My friends and I responsibly ride dirt bikes and so do alot of others I know. We often leave places cleaner than we found them. We like remote areas as much or more than others. We also hike, climb, backpack, ride mtn bikes, 4 wheel, ski etc. We also, as INDIVIDUALS, volunteer for and contribute money toward trail maintenance.
How would you like the ability to camp in a remote area restricted to only if you belonged to a club who had an activity there?
There are bad apples in every bunch and that includes just rvers.
