Well in my village i did have a disused quary where i used to do bmx and a bit of mtb but usually just ramps etc had it closed down because one person complained, (i even petitioned through my whole village (population 800ish) and about 30 people wouldn't sign because they didn't understand the concept of bikes being used for something other than A to B, the rest thought that it was good that we (me and biker chums) were making use of the space and had cleared it up (who want's to ride near drugie shit and glass?) and we weren't a menace (half of the time we would borrow spades, barrows etc of the people who lived nearby)) Then they spent 8 grand on a new park when it was 2 grand to insure us forever, then they buldosed the whole thing (2 years worth of digging etc gone) So thats the main reason i'm doing this, plus i was told off for riding the park (which as far as i'm concerned i have every right to do) AND the guy who had the place closed even had the cheek to ask me if i had anything else better to do!
