So I have noticed driving past the PWC bike park for a while now that their bridges were removed... This to me was rather disappointing as these were the main reason I rode at the park. I decided to mail them this morning an enqire why these were removed and their responce was not a real surprise. Kids and Begginers who had very little or NO technical riding skill had been falling off and getting hurt. (This on BLACK Diamond sections) Not treating these obsticles with respect. Now this to me is still not fair to those of us who are more that accomplished at riding these obsticles. We now have to resort to riding the kiddie areas and dealing with upset parents and slower riders? I have nothing against begginers looking to up thier skill levels as I often give skills class's at PWC. But now there is nothing for more experienced riders to test their skills on anymore. The fact that parents allow their kids to "go mad" in a safe bike park is irrisposible as they are aware of the dangers. Bike parks create Green, Blue and Black routes for a reason. And riding at such parks are at your own risk. So I feel it unfair to PWC that they are losing clients for other clients mistakes. I myself have been injured after falling at the park, needing stitches, but I still came back and rode as MTB is a High Risk sport and its not the parks fault for my mistakes. In conclusion: I would like to request fellow readers who enjoyed the challenge of riding the bridges and Black Diamond sections to give me some constructive feedback and their views on the subject. Also I would like begginers to give me their thoughts of the park. I will be riding there tomorrow morning and giving the park back some feedback on this subject.
