Some wars have been over women too... Somewhere Headshot makes a point about runners needing to respect that MTB'ers have so few trails therefore they should respect this and stay off our land....hmmmmm thats not the kind of argument thats going to win friends. As a user group we are large, are propelling vehicles with the capacity to inflict serious harm to users and cause more erosion in a National Park. We're not entitled to the use of the land, it remains a privilege. Hence we have to carry a level 3 permit and get serious uphill from SANParks. Runners don't carry any of that baggage. If they don't pay, so what. If they run on our trails then in certain areas this raises a safety issue. These area need to be identified and signage applied to raise awareness of the danger a 650b in the crotch poses. We all know 29er were created by God himself so theres no dnager there. They're too slow anyway This is not an issue of land rights, its an issue of safety.
