Motocross in our sights

Illegal speeding as a problem for forests and nature

Motocross riders indulge in their hobby in the local forests, but cause displeasure among forest owners and hunters. But emergency services are also repeatedly called upon by the bikers' daredevil rides. This is why they face hefty fines.

For some it is the ultimate thrill, for others it is pure annoyance. We are talking about motocross riding in the local woods. This hobby is not only dangerous, but also causes immense damage to nature. Just last weekend, there was a serious accident in a wooded area in Grafenstein in Carinthia.
