No bikes allowed - Skate Parks
And 'Saturday morning and the local skate park seems to be empty? It so happens that the BMX bike on the back of your car, how lucky! A quick U-turn and your car to stop skate park in the lot. With great enthusiasm, throwing the door open car and the bike responds much gravel parking lot. Go through the door and take a last look, nope - the park is empty. Choosing the first line of the front wheel leaves the lip, as you enter the park. Suddenly, you hearScreams from the back fence, "no bikes allowed"! Shivers down my spine and the heart sinks. Looking back, have two children a little more than 10 years, is shouting, while their skateboards. They were there?
"No bicycles allowed" in public skate parks is a growing problem across the country. Taxpayer dollars are spent each year to support the "melody" of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a sports and closes others. Is it really fair? Worse, there is a legitimate reason? Whendemanding skaters and officials on the bike without a political impetus, have concerns regarding the damage, conflicts and safety. Is this correct?
Damage caused by bike, the number one response is heard constantly from skateboarders. We believe that this statement is for the old parks that were not designed for use BMX true. But what is built with all the new parks? In some parts of the country, cities are building parks, bike and collaboration to integrateSkateboards. These cities spend a little 'more money to build a higher density of concrete to withstand turbulence and pedals. The problem is the solution and a way to tax the taxpayers' money. There are also pegs and pedals, which are designed for "friendly skate park" are. So, of course, there are ways to reduce damage in newer skate park.
The security problems are a major concern of most communities expressed. It is believed by many that would be the speed and weight of a BMX bike due to collisionsheavier. This is a perceived responsibility for most of the city. Although we can not say that collisions will not happen, we can say that collisions can be avoided by teaching simple skate park etiquette. For example, users must enter their verses called blind. Most skateboarders hate to admit, that if an expert freestyle BMX is present, things are much better. Rather the problem is not the type of user but the user experience. Collisions, whether it be skateboardingBMX and skateboarding are usually blind someone or are generally run by a young or inexperienced users jump. Simply devoting a few hours a week, can introduce new riders and skaters, skate park etiquette to be around and learn to ride and skate safely.
Another method used by some cities to share the time between skaters and cyclists. Typically, the bikes are allowed every two hours. This seems to be an effective way to manage time between skaters andBikers.
The last conflict seems to be increasingly "gang war" between skaters and BMX riders. Most of the skaters feel strongly that freestyle BMX riders of the efforts of the community to get more skating communities to build skate parks violated. These efforts often give strong emotional skaters a strong sense of ownership over these parks. As a BMX rider to share these parks, we owe them a big thank you for skaters of all their efforts. The truth is that a decade ago,the sport of ice skating was in the minority. These athletes have fought their whole lives to have legitimate places to skate. What skaters must realize that BMX freestylers are now facing the same difficulties ten years treated with skaters. This victory is a good reason for BMX riders to support local communities to build ice rink in the construction of high density concrete help of parks and common policies so that everyone can enjoy this park.
The bottom line is that apublic skate park will be paid by public tax dollars. Taxpayers are not just skateboarding, BMX freestyle as well. We often hear that skateboarding is not just a sport but a lifestyle. Well, the sensation of freestyle BMX bikers and other aggressive that share the same passion.
