| 00:00 - 00:03 | IMBA is coming to town to "Help Us" with trail advocacy |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | So far, they have "helped" towns here |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | From what we can tell, they want to rewrite the MTB history of Sedona to kiss ass with the Forest Service... |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | but beyond that, it's not clear what they want. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Get a hold of the SW Regional Rep. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | We'll find out what the fuck they are thinking. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | They... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | They don't want to meet with us. |
| 00:34 - 00:40 | They are canceling our Chapter status and joining with the Verde Vally Cycling Club. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who doesn't have an IMBA sticker on their car, get out now. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | What the hell are they thinking? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | We built these fucking trails. Without us there would be no mountain biking in Sedona! |
| 01:18 - 01:24 | And the Verde Valley CC has no God Damn mountain bikers in it. They get together and have leg shaving orgies while watching re-runs of Lance climbing Alp du Hue |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | What do they think is going to happen when nobody builds new MTB trails? |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | They're fucked! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Look what happened in the Bay Area! |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Hijacked by corporate interests! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Taking our money and working against us! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, they say we have to pretend Sedona's trails weren't built illegally. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | What? Like the Forest Service or the Verde Valley CC is going to build a trail like Hangover? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, they are frustrated by our insistance that we tell the truth about Sedona's history. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | They'll get recognition, but for fuck's sake don't take our money and then stab us in the back! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Petty promises from 2 faced bureaucrats |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | The same shit as usual |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | "Yes, we understand your problems!" |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | "Yes, we will help you - just pay your dues and trust us!" |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Are you kidding me? |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | They care more about PR and getting grants from the Forest Service... |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Then supporting local mountain bikers or being honest about how these trails got here! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Who's side are they on? |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | They're doomed without the support of local MTBers. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | If only they would learn from history |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | You can't get road bikers to build mountain bike trails. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Too much of this... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Too much of this running in without thinking just trying to find the biggest ass to kiss |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Just throw reasoning out the door and show people you're friendly. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Yeah. That'll work. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Who do they think they're fooling? |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | The whole thing is a sham! |
| 03:04 - 03:10 | It's okay Anna, we can cover the IMBA logos on our jeresys with Dirt Hombre patches |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | They legalize a couple of "our" trails. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | They'll feel satisfied with the results |
| 03:25 - 03:28 | "We won." "Look at how great IMBA is!" |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Nothing. Will change. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Verde Valley CC and the Forest Service will hire IMBA Trail Solutions to build new trails... |
| 03:46 - 03:51 | They don't know our terrain. The new trails will suck and everyone will go to Moab! |
| 03:53 - 03:57 | We'll end up a town up to its asshole in hikers and horse jockeys! |
