Advocating For Legal Trails In Campbelltown NSW

[mtb_slipknot_fan]

Yeh we cant build any unnatural obsticals as they believe that the terrain is challenging enough (and probably to minimise ecological disturbance stupid koalas nah koalas are kool ). I guess itl just be illegal jump building i guess . But getting a trail thats half decent to ride out here cant be that bad i guess. BTW scuba, what is the email address that your mate sent the email to cause ill send an email to them aswell.

Cheers,

Chris

Gday all,
Sorry about the delay in reposting,
The council replied late last year with a letter which i covered in my last post. Getting back into winter and the cooler part of the year, my enthusiasm is returning to get something going. All the petitions which i had at the bike shops have gone awoll, and will have no chance of recovering them, so we shall start fresh i guess. It seems that at the very start of all council meeteing(at C'town anyway) they ask for any petitions about anything. If we get a few dozen (undestatement hopefully) names, and submit it to the council, along with some letters i am hoping to write, we might get the ball rolling again. One thing in our favour is the addition to the skate park at leumeah. The main reason that they stated for denying the mtb park was for insurance, and because of the danger factor. How a skate park, built EXCLUSIVELY of concrete, is not more dangerous than dirt i do not know.
Speaking of work, I am currently at Toys R Us Ctown in our bike section, and the amount of young kids that are purchasing bikes, especially MTB is going through the roof. Riding is an ever growing sport. Even if the bikes they are buying are Kawasaki Pieces of S*** on special down to $100, they will get a taste of our sport, move on up to a more expensive and higher quality bike, and may have a chance at becoming the next rennie(*cough*cough*)
In my last post, i also quoted a part of an email that was received by my riding mate, that said they would be looking into MTB park in our area in early 07. Considering it is now midish 07, and i havent been able to write anything because of work and school commitments, it is time to act.
If anyone has a chance at getting a couple of names on a petition sheet, drop me a line and i will arrange for a sheet/s to get to you some how. I shall begin writing a letter within the next few days.

Scuba
