If it was illegal ANYWHERE, even private property, would you still do it?

I would :flipoff2:

No. The law is the law. If you break the law, you need immediate execution.

Great we can fill this post with responses like:

"Oh hell yeah! Screw those god-damned eco-nazis!!! They can pry my cold dead hands off of my 4x4 steering wheel :beer: :beer: :beer: "

And then the image of the wheeling community as a "lawabiding good citizen type" can be ruined forever! Hurray! :rolleyes:

Mall, hell I rarely even venture out of the garage. Once or twice a year is what it has fealt like, build it break it, spend three months redesigning it, another three months procrastinating, and three to four months building it, take it out, keep what I like scrap the rest and restart process.

I would make every effort to change the law and if that failed I would start cutting locks.

I've dreamed of notifying the authorities and media that I am going to "illegally" attempt Surprise Canyon just to draw major attention to flawed and suspect land closures. Then get arrested and have my day in court and get the law overturned. :flipoff2:

Nope.. I'de focus energies elswhere.

You know.. study what means most to the eco-nutz... then get laws passed to hurt them on a personal level. :D

You know.. make it legal to have a hunting season for ELF. stuff like that. (yeah.. an uphill fight, but at the pace they are going... dare I say, in a few years, it might be winnable. LOL)

I was expecting this type of response.

So, you're afraid to have free speech so we don't piss of the eco-nazis? FAWK THAT :flipoff: You're never going to win if you're always trying to make them happy and compromising.

We should be doing that right now. Like putting a child-labor tax on granola and demonstrating at the REI headquarters about all the plastic and petroleum-based synthetics in their climbing wall and ski simulators, not to mention the energy wasted in their fake rainfall and tread mills.

Once we started shooting all the lawmakers, they might repeal the law...

If it was illegal, I would not do it. I would fight to change that, but I would remove the knobbies and t-case, and get on with my life.

If it was *truely* illegal, and something like that would be easily enforcible, then it would be something along the lines of, you cannot drive your car on a sidewalk.

Do you do that? If so, is it because you're not a "puss"?

Now, if it was illegal, as in, my rig is currently illegal for not having all of the proper lighting, then yes I would wheel, just as I drove my rig to work today. But I don't think that was the intent of the original hypothetical poster...

As law abiding as I consider my self to be.. I would have to say that if jeeps are outlawed then I guess I'd be an outlaw jeeper!

Of course that' sall hypothetical because I will probably go to my grave fighting the system for my rights and I sure as hell hope it never comes to that. :mad2:

Ok, let's say it wasn't just a ticket, but wasn't a felony either. Let's say a misdemeanor, up to a $1000 fine, up to 30 days in jail.

If it was a felony I'd get a dirtbike so I could get away easier :flipoff2:

If I rented a dodge neon, paid for full insurance on it then took it on a trail would it still be wheeling?

wouldn't it be easier to just make the vehicle illegal.
limit tire and lift size.
Oh fawk watch out look where they are taking the SUV trend.
pretty soon all SUV's will be 2wd with 13inch rims.

I mainly quit wheeling because it became too much of an illegal pita. It was too hard to ditch the cops crawling 116:1

Now my 180mph bike laughs! :D except the popo just got R1's in the bay area I guess. The yare supposedly training riders right now! Wooo more dead cops! dumbasses.
The damn cameros are enough of a pain to smoke as it is now.

Repost something like this in a week when all these weenies forget about the stuntriding post. I bet you'll get some people sacked up before some fag replies w/ a "repost" :D

BTW Love the sigline VT toy :D

Yes I would contuine to wheel (on private property), then hope I got caught. If I got arrested or fined I would go through the court system to get the law repealed.

If wheeling truly becomes illegal, it will be because wheelers refused to get involved. I'd say fuck it and build a 3/4 midget or start drag racing.

Of course my truck is nowhere near legal anymore so whats another broken law right:confused:

Lots of things are illegal but that doesn't stop people. In many states but sex is illegal and in some places in the US so is smoking weed but that doesn't stop thousands of people from doing them everyday
