ROV RBDC Graduating Class – September 19, 2018
Factory Pipe ROHVA Training Site – Ukiah, CA
QWR wants to congratulate the six BLM recreation leads
and field staff who completed the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association
(ROHVA) ROV Basic DriverCourse (RBDC) taught at the Factory Pipe Training Area located
in Ukiah, California on September 19, 2018.
Developing Two-Feet Throttle/Brake Control
Exercise 4
This ROHVA class was offered in recognition of the
long-standing partnership between OHV stakeholders and the BLM’s Ukiah Field
Office which manages the Cow Mountain OHV Recreation Area.
Developing Two-Feet Throttle/Brake Control
Exercise 4
The River Fire damaged a significant number of popular
OHV roads, trails, and related infrastructure on about 30,000 acres of BLM’s
Cow Mountain Recreation Area. Important
wildfire recovery efforts are underway and the agency’s increased reliance on
Side-by-Sides (SxSs) means there is also a growing need for ROHVA training
opportunities since federal employees are required to get certification or
recertification before operating a government SxS.

Exercise 2
Don Amador, President of Quiet Warrior Racing/Consulting,
states, “It is a privilege to help train agency staff about how to operate
their SxS vehicles in a safe manner as they prepare to address post wildfire damage
to OHV trails, campgrounds, and cultural resources.”

“The driving skills learned will help agency staff safely
operate their vehicles while doing trail repairs and soil stabilization
treatments,” Amador concludes.
QWR believes that non-federal partners will have an
increasingly important role to play in helping provide access for agency staff to
professional certified safety instruction for SxSs.
