How do you give local kids the chance to get into dirt riding?  One of the easiest ways is to provide a pump track right in their neighborhood.  I want to see pump tracks pop into city parks all over SoCal.  We just need to get one successfully built.  Then we can promote it as a success to other cities, and propose pump tracks in their parks.  

The first such pump track in this mission is being tried in Valley Center.  I started work on this project with Minette in the Fall.  Our own Sinner is a VC local, and has signed on to be "the man" on the ground.  He's already done GPS work.  JKOP has provided the CAD drawings for the project.  It's a GP group effort!  The head of parks and rec is on board, and supportive.  We are now preparing for the formal proposal presentation to the board on 3/19/14 at 3pm.  Public support is ALWAYS a big deal!  Please...if you can make it up to be a "supporting member of the public", it would help a lot!  We can hit up the local spot after for dinner and hang out.  Look below...you can SHARE this post on FB! Please do! Help me get this ball rolling for SoCal!!

Here's an early version of the design.  Updated version with more accurate obstacles, and bikes added for scale, will be used at the meeting:

We're getting close on our project in Fillmore. Hopefully, it'll be a "if that small town can do it, why can't we?" sort of thing.

Like Cap'n said these things need support and the powers to be need to feel there is a need and multi-faceted benefits (fitness, economical, recreational, etc.)

A big o pat on the ass to Sinner for taking the lead, but he'll need lot's of help. Most folks on here are diggers and doers so I'm preaching to the choir, I know. Get your non-GP friends (riders or not) and those kids with the broken shovels at the local jumps on board too.
