I understand this is old news, but I just saw the episode this weekend...and sent the following email.
The environmental movement is clamoring to keep off-road vehicles out of the public recreation areas. Their argument is that off-road enthusiast are irresponsible users of public lands by leaveing trash on the trail, destroy sensitive areas by going off trail, kill tress by winching off them, etc.
This bad perception was re-enforced this weekend (Twin Toy Part 2) when Extreme 4X4 winched off a tree with out a tree strap to get the Toyota out of tight spots. Irresponsible use of public lands will further the demise of the sport and your show. I am requesting an on air apology and a commitment to Tread Lightly ( http://www.treadlightly.org/page.php/home/Home.html), or another like minded organization.
I want to be able to enjoy our public lands now and into the future. My fear is that the "Extreme" arm of the sport will destroy this option for all of us.
