1. I accept I cause erosion
2. When I am riding i try to minimise this.
3. If there is a path built there to reduce erosion I use it.
4. If I cant ride it, or the ground is soft, I carry.
I see nothing hypocritical in that, and I don’t think anything I have said goes against this.
This isn’t really about me its about the video clip at the top of the thread, where the rider clearly does not use a path put in place to help reduce erosion. So a fail in points 2,3 and 4 above.
