Australia Wins!

Australia has won the Nations Trophy at the 2009 FIM Junior World Motocross Championship, in Taupo New Zealand, ahead of Italy and New Zealand.

Jay Wilson became the 85cc World Championship and Tye Simmonds finished 2nd in the 125cc World Championship.

Nowhere To Ride

There's hardly anywhere to ride legally in NSW.

Land developers, policy exclusion, clowns and noise has resulted in closure of nearly all available areas.

Now there are Environmental problems as riders push into areas they would not have used previously.

Erosion from new track creation, grooving of water diversion banks (roll-overs), creek bank destruction and spreading of weeds and diseases from unwashed machines are all problems now.

Trespassing

Various legislation protects private land and Crown Land from illegal entry.

In general, if it's fenced off, it's "inclosed land".

Some roads pass through private land and have gates. Ensure you close them properly after passing through.

Here's a small sample of legislation about this.

Unlawful entry on inclosed lands

Offensive conduct while on inclosed lands

Penalty on leaving gate open

Liability of vehicle owner for certain offences
