ARE OFF-ROAD RIDING OPPORTUNITIES AT RISK?

Off-road motorcycling is a valuable and rewarding family oriented activity. However, a dirt bike is not much good without legal places to ride it. Sadly, there are organizations and public officials who, if left unchallenged, would ban riding all ORVs on public land. Since 1973, the NMA has been instrumental in establishing and fostering legal, safe, sustainalbe and enjoyable dirt biking opportunities and securing funding in Washington State.

By joining the NMA you help ensure the rights of off-road motorcyclists today and into the future. Your membership directly translates to “the voice of the dirt biking community” because your NMA representatives lobby for your interests during legislative sessions in Olympia, public land planning sessions and committees, grant funding committees, land focus groups and elsewhere. Every membership strengthens our community’s voice in Washington State.

Our Crest

Our crest speaks to our involvement in Washington state.

The mountain and tree represent Washington’s beauty that we enjoy while riding, and NMA seeks to protect.

The domed building represents Washington’s capitol building, where NMA engages in legislation and land use matters to protect and enhance recreational access for off-road motorcyclists in Washington.

The motorcycle is a rider’s passion and the rider is you, enjoying that passion.

NMA works hard to preserve and enhance off-road motorcycling in Washington. Join the ride and become a supporter!
