The United States Forestry Service has recently denied a permit for off road motorcycle racing to continue In its Mississippi divisions. We members of the dirt biking community see this as a blatant hypocritical trampling of our right to use the relatively small portion of land required to host these events. Accordingly, we request that these events be allowed to continue as scheduled. Not only are they a vital part of our racing organizations' series, but serve as a significant source of revenue for the surrounding areas.
I have spent this week making calls to local representatives to explain that these trails are more than just dirt paths for us. It is frustrating to face this much silence when our community brings so much life and business to these rural towns.

Seeing this level of support for our tracks confirms that we are not fighting this alone. It means everything to see our community come together to protect the sport that raised us.

Ridiculous decision. These events bring so much money into the local towns. Why stop that?

We clean up after ourselves every time. This feels like a personal attack on the riding community.

Total garbage. Its public land and we should be able to use it responsibly. Dont shut down the series over a permit.

This is ridiculous. We have been riding these trails for years without issue. Leave the racing alone.
