It looks pretty legit, just didn’t have enough time to make it happen and they only reopened like 2 months ago.

It’s 100% free and nobody has given me any issues bringing carvers and eMTB there before. People are just curious more than anything.

It’s fun. Big Chungus bottoms out constantly though; need a topmount battery to do it proper.

I would just like to say that i love how chill everything was. Even when i had to curb stomp @rusins for posting text in the pictures thread, i didn’t really feel a lot of pressure form the crowd. Everything was really organic and fun. And everyone was just awesome.

But they explicitly prohibit anything motorized. I was very disappointed to learn that

One day, we should rent the whole place / swarm it until we’re kicked out.

I’m all over this! That’s some sick flow without crossover. They’re expanding my local bmx park over the next XYZ years and the after images of the dirt park look like this. They just finished up the pump track this summer.
