A popular online international motocross radio show makes donation to protect off-road access on public lands. The Moto Show (TMS), an affiliate of World Talk Radio, donated $4000 dollars to the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), a national trail-based recreation group.
BRC has been a strategic partner with TMS for over a year now. Don Amador from the BRC regularly makes an appearance on TMS to inform the program’s large listener base about the issues that currently threaten access to many of the nation’s riding areas. They’ve played an integral part in gaining support for the BRC from the motocross industry.
Eric Elrod, Executive Producer/Host of The Moto Show and President of TMS Parts.com, said, “TMS cares deeply about the sport of motocross and other forms of responsible recreation that utilize public and private lands. These lands are increasingly threatened by anti-access organizations. Our sport, as well as others, would disappear without access to these lands.”
Elrod continues, “This money comes from the sale of our ’05 CRF450 that we purchased for #782 Michael Young for the ’05 Supercross season. Michael Young did well enough through the ’05 racing season to receive a national number, #83. We’re proud of him and his results and will again be sponsoring him in the ’06 Supercross season.”
“We stepped up to the plate one year ago by creating www.TMS-Parts.com, an online motorcycle parts store that donates its profits to the Asterisk Mobile Medical Center (AMMC) – the traveling onsite medical facility for Supercross and the U.S. Motocross Nationals – and allows its suppliers to share their profits in support of the AMMC”, Elrod states.
“TMS believes this donation to BRC compliments our efforts for the AMMC. This donation is not a selfless act; it’s about keeping the sport alive. BRC is out there fighting for all of us. We are deeply appreciative of their efforts, and we hope our contribution makes a real difference and sets an example for others to follow,” Elrod concludes.
