Our only BMX indoor skatepark have been removed!!!! F#CK Iceland..
Where should I ride now??

There's one BIG indoor skate park in Reykjavik, where I live. Scooters, Skate, Rollerblades are allowed but not BMX.. They told us we put to much weight on the ramps and some sh1t .. blablabla.

I'm going to call there tomorrow.. what should I say to them.
"hi can I ride my BMX on your skatepark? please??? I'll use plastic pedals!! I promise.." f"uck!!

Here's an edit from the old skate park I made today.

Bummed for you, bro!
I suggest you get with your buddies, and contact anyone you know that will support you in an effort to get the other park to open up to bikes.
Bike shops, teachers, parents, anyone who might help.
While you're at it, try to get another park started somehow. Check with local officials and see if you can get someone to commit to making a place for bikes.
I realize this might not be possible where you're at, but you might give it a try!
Check out this page, maybe you can use some of the arguments from it.

Good luck, and keep shredding! Those wallrides were sick!

This is a shot in the dark, but can you build your own trails? I googled the weather for iceland and it looks like may-oct its warm enough. There appears to be farms to the south west of Reykjavik, can you ask permision to build? There is nothing more rewarding than riding your own stuff.
