^that park is deeeece

such bull shit why dont they just not allow pegs or something.
skate bord trucks cant do much more damage than pegs i hope more people agree with me.

The city was barraged with angry e-mails from bikers from Oxford, England, Canada and different reaches of the United States

Since when was Oxford a country? Thought it was in England? It was when I lived there anyway.

That park is defiantly in sacramento, you need a new default pic

man that bites. i dunno wat id do if all the skateparks i wnt to here in australia banned bmx. they would never get used if we didnt ride em. this makes no sense shouldnt they be worrying about bigger problems in the world then bmx riding skate parks

all the more reason to ride street then innit lad

Whats with American park constantly seperating the different sports? why not be like here and let everyone ride at the same time, with whatever pegs/ jagged pieces of metal they want. Skaters/bmxers/bladers all ride at the same time, very very rarely is there confrontation.

i remember when my local was being planned. the input from skaters and riders was equal, then the council said about not letting bikes in. i think the only thing that changed their mind was the fact that the skate boarders and bladers also said it was outrageous. the only thing that wil change a city council’s mind is if everyone gets together.

WTF?

let in mountain bikers

hahaha read the NO BIKES from NO BIKES comment the kid is a skater who ried to sound smart but actually gave reasons why bikes are safer he said BIKES HAVE BRAKES THEYRE MORE DANGEROUS

Steve Peat (born 17 June 1974 in Chapeltown, South Yorkshire), nickname “Sheffield Steel”, is a professional downhill mountain biker, was born and lives in Chapeltown, Sheffield, England. Prior to his career as a professional downhill cyclist Peat was employed as a plumber. He is married to Adele Croxon and has two sons, Jake and George Peat.

There is a comma in between oxford and england to sybolize it being one place. Like Tampa, Florida. what there saying is Oxford, England and Canada.

fucking pigs

i love how they use words like bummer, and rad, in every extreme sports news article, journalists are dumb.

One major problem is that a good chunk of the concrete park building companies are run/heavily influenced by Thrasher-think skaters.

The big money sponsors that market to BMX and Skateboarding could help change this.

We need some PR work, ad campaign, lobbying and legal help, but where will the money come from?

One thing we need to take away is the term “Skate-park”. The name itself implies that bike use isn’t legitmate.

fucking dick diglers thats my are and they can jablow me

Hi Alex,

The reason is that Skate park builders make twice the money by recommending that bikes not be allowed in “skate” parks and are forced to ‘build their own’, even though Eddie Fiola and many others have been shredding concrete since 1981.

sucks to be you america… i dont know why this happened in america all the time, whats the deal?? every other country ive been to this nnever happens.

i hate fl. deah!!!!! but i love matt copland hope everything works out for you guys there. if not austin is way better!!!

well actually bikes are consider cars by law so if u let bikes in u have to let the cars ride too and they fuck up the ledges but since this new law sating that any bike under 20 inches is a toy it shouldnt be an issue anymore unless they dont want tonka trucks on the 1/4 pipes

people will ride it if bikes r allowed or not, i would, fuck em

there or they’re?

that is bull if i lived there i would just go there and bike

I think it is hilarious that the city would do such a thing. When plans start,”we want bikes and skateboards to be together,” then reality kicks in. “You know what, Nevermind” Probably from rich yuppie scum told him to do this.
