Creative Riding Episode 169 "Social media, Crashes, and a Rant"

Welcome to episode 169. On this episode we discuss some things, Jae admits something, Wiggins rants (for half the show!) We also announce winners of the Solstice Slam. Stick around and listen.

Let's get a few things out of the way. Here are some news snippets including Arlen Ness' passing, Utah is legal to lane split, and I went to a motoshow over the weekend. 2. Social Media - Thanks to the abundant rains, recently there was a "super bloom" of wild flowers in California - some of them our protected state flower, the California Golden Poppy. The blooms drew thousands of sightseers to the wilderness, but not to enjoy the flowers... Instead, thanks to social media like Instagram and features like Geo Tagging, throngs of humans trampled, sat on, and otherwise flattened the orange flowers to get the perfect Social Media post. Park rangers worked over time to keep people on the trails, but were ignored and outnumbered as people waded into the flora to snap pics. This brings up issues that moto riders face as well. What happens when your favorite spot or ride destination gets poached by riders looking for that perfect pic? We also talk about why so many offroaders show their location as "Your Mom's House". 3.Crashes - Jae talks about her recent hit-and-run and why she couldn't avoid it. She also got popped by the cops for something, and Utah riders need to pay attention. 4. Chris Wiggins brings us American Flat Track racing news from the Daytona TT and ATL Short Track events. He pronounces all the names wrong and breaks out into all the tangents. Learn about the Hooligan struggle and, why is the man always out to keep the Hooligan down? 5. For the last 2 minutes we announce the Winners of the Solstice Slam!!! Congrats to all who entered. Your prizes will go out this weekend.
