Myrtle Beach Helmet Law Update

Our case is headed straight to the SC Supreme Court. The City of Myrtle Beach will not be able to appeal the decision. Stay tuned for more updates!

Take Back May's "Thank You BBQ" has provided freedom fighters within ABATE of SC four additional helmet tickets and plenty of good press for free. The four additional tickets assure us a chance to challenge the City of Myrtle Beach helmet ordinance even if our original 49 tickets are thrown out due to murky circumstances regarding the reissuing of summons and the confusion of whether they were civil or criminal.

The trials for all 49 freedom fighters have been stayed indefinitely. All current court dates have been cancelled. I am under the impression the City may still be enforcing the helmet ordinance. If you are cited please consider fighting the ticket rather than becoming part of the problem in Myrtle Beach.

The Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court has sent a memorandum to the localities of South Carolina plainly stating that Administrative Hearing Courts are unconstitutional. You may read may read Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal's City or County Administrative Hearing Courts Memorandum for yourself here.

The fall was okay but picking my bike up in the mud caused an injury to my lower back. I had enough sense to visit my doctor in the afternoon and he cleared me to paddle since nothing was broken. He also said he had seen me in much worst shape. I'll be going back for another checkup Wednesday...

Personal First Descents of Ocoee and Wilson Creek by FastFred Ruddock
Friday May 1, 2009 I met Trent, Rick, and Russ at NOC to paddle the Nanty from Ferebees back to the parking lot. I had a couple of beers while I waited. We only had one swim at the falls; Russ was trying to show off and run the second hole sideways. Russ almost made it too! We went back to the camp to drink more beer while Rick grilled us some nice steaks. This was followed by a nice campfire as old and new friends dropped by to drink beer, tell stories, and get out of the rain under Russ’ canopy ... Read Full Article >>

Personal First Descent of the Nolichucky Gorge by FastFred Ruddock
Friday December 19, 2008 felt more like a fresh spring day in April minus the buds of awakening trees. The previous evening while wrestling with decision upon where to paddle or park and play my good friend James called just I nearly resigned to park and play at the ledges or nanty falls for lack of a buddy to paddle. However he informed me that a mutual friend, Karen, paddled the Nolichucky regularly but lacked available accomplices. After a few quick phone calls a plan was made to meet in Asheville Friday morning.
