Posts regarding riding technique and safety issues get my attention! But good moderators are important as misinformation in these matters can have serious consequences. I agree with Statdawg on that issue. It would be a very well read area.
I think it's a good idea, and suggested something similar in the past. However, some people responded that it may not be a good idea since there's no way to make sure misinformation is not spread. To me that is a concern; however, I do not thing a discussion on this forum (or any forum for that matter) would replace a structured learning environment.
I do think it's a good idea to create a place where individuals can discuss riding styles and techniques. This is something we do over coffee, lunch, beer, etc. So why not have a place here?
I have made some phone calls and initial contacts to see how we might consider something like this. Trying to make it reliable and credible rather than just a "chat room" would be worthwhile. This process may take a little while but we are looking into it.
If this new sub-forum does come to life, I hope there will be room for differences of opinion and each of us can take from it what we think will work for us. Riding safely is ultimately each individual's responsibility - not that of any author, poster, or coach.
...a handful of rider coaches at the same table and you would not get consensus on different aspects of something as simple and fundamental as the head turn.
steve and other mods:
Since mc safety is the so called mission of the moa foundation, i feel that a direct tie in, with the "foundation" in the moderation and establishment of a "safety/technique" forum may actually help the moa foundation's efforts.
Over the years since the establishment of the "foundation" it seems they are often floundering around in their actual mission or recognition of their efforts. Recently, the "rider skills" events sponsored by moa do not give much or any credit to the foundation. Seems the only real exposure they get is at "camp gears" and the mrc/erc stuff at the nationals.
Perhaps this "safety/technique" forum would be a possible pr source that could easily promote their worthwhile efforts..........just thoughts........dennis
