There are many ways you can help a newbie…
Keeping our Jeeping and four-wheeling sports alive means we all have to wheel smart, pay attention to our line, put on a good show, hold up a positive image and make sure the newbies do the same – among other things.
Breaking in newbies or noobs is something we can all help do – or we will all eventually lose if they don’t “get brought up right.”
Whether you are part of a virtual group or brick-n-mortar 4wheel drive club, there are three (3) phases where every one of us can do our part with the new folks in our sport. Check it out.
PHASE I: SET THE EXAMPLE
This is a no-brainer. You want to wheel in the future, but you don’t want to be bothered with bugging someone else about how to do it right? Just set the example.
Do what you love to do and do it right!
Be that guy or gal that always carries a trash bag and spill kit. Don’t be the drip (vehicle) on the trail. Stay on the trail and obey the rules. Set up your camp with a trash bag and recycling sack. Don’t be a bear in the woods without your shovel. Better yet, be that camp with a trail toilet.
