Suggestion: "PROMOTE" the AWA membership at events.

Possibly accept cash, fill out the application and hand out a temporary card?

no way!!!
i was a member for years and no longer wish to be.

from like 1996 till 2004 i was a good paying member.
i watched the amt of benefit of this memberships dwindle

i don't want to take away from the good they do provide our sport. but honestly im not paying for that any-longer.

i think when the ijsba was divided into what it is now things got sorta worse. hell , we were even supposed to get i think one free add a yr in the magazine which i had to resubmit almost 5 times , needless to say i never saw it.

im sure some of it's decline has to do with lack of corporate backing. there was a lot more commercial money back in the hay days around 1996.

i am not trying to dissuade others from joining and actually would recommend others do.. it's not for me and should not be mandatory at our events. these events are x-h2o events, not awa. i would not mind a presence of the awa, but not forced membership

What events, races or freerides or group rides?

The whole point of a freeride like Freestylefest is that it's unorganized, laid back, come/go as you please. Requiring AWA membership goes completely against that.

OK, let me rephrase this, it was pretty late when I made the post.
It should be not "enforce", but "promote and accept new members".

Have a booth with a sign that says "join now" And give away AWA coozies.

If you have a booth that reads: "Join or no Freeride for you!", I'll burn it to the ground.
