Hell yeah...
Besides, a BMX track beats a crack house.

Took my mx bike around my pump track the other night. Heck the guy down the street has a ATV track that is 3 times the size of my pump track. I love where I live.
Super cool - seems like bikes are kryptonite to a lot of people in the US.
This makes me want to buy $1000 worth of clay for my extra lot.
They should hang out their laundry too. The big debate on THAT one is, "ghetto" or "green".
my neighbors may hate me...pump track and two minis are in the master plan for my backyard lot across'd the road...
has anyone read any of the comments for the article? some really dumb sh*t... one guy even suggested going as far as getting their own child to ride there, then have them INTENTIONALLY get hurt so they can shut it down. What a terrible act of parenting that would be.
Speaking of parenting, I think its really cool that he built that for his sons (and himself I'm sure). The people that are complaining are being far too selfish and dealing with the matter in all the wrong ways.
-he's doing something for his kids
-its a healthy activity
-its giving them something else to do other than video games and tv. and not just his kids, their friends as well
-he's giving them something their township probably would not
-the neighbors went straight to the authorities instead of trying to deal with him directly
-all they are concerned about is their own properties.
-if there are farm animals in the vicinity and running freely, then some guy's backyard bike track is less of a concern. free roaming farm animals are a public health concern (feces). last time I checked my bike doesn't poop.
-they just have the wrong attitude. they're focusing on the negatives, not the positives (an overall trend that I have noticed developing in America)

yea I'm gonna try and pay attention to this, because I have every intention of building my own little jam section on my property once I join the ranks of homeowners.
Ultimately I wanna get like 10 acres secluded somewhere in farm country so I can do more or less whatever I please. IE large steel warehouse for indoor park to achieve year round riding!

i made a moto track in my one field that is next to my neighbours house. I live on 16 acres, drives them nuts that its right outside their door.
I love people who value the quality of their life strictly by the value of their home. And blaming the foreclosure accross the street on the track? Oh yeah.....I can't think of any other reason foreclosures are happening right now.
That place looks fun.
With that much property, did you really have to pick a spot so close to their property? There's a fine line between acting within your rights as a property owner, and just being an outright dick. Bad blood with neighbors is not something you want to create.
16 acres is a pretty good chunk of land. I know you and your family have animals, but do you actively use fields for agriculture? Or do you lease the property to others to farm? Just trying to get some back story.
I think pinkshirtphotos is working on becoming a master troll.
that jacka$$ with the suggestion to have some get intentionally hurt, I bet stiles HOI knows his occupation is in that industry.
I wonder what the insurance policy looks like for someone who makes their living as a pro rider (whether its BMX, dh, road, xc). I'm not just talking home insurance, but health and possibly life insurance.
I wonder how my neighbors must feel about my bridges that are in the Front yard
I'd be more pissed off about that horrible teal windbreaker
Now THAT is ghettoI wonder how my neighbors must feel about my bridges that are in the Front yard
Look what I did to my buddy's backyard

I know my neighbors hate me.
I practice paintball stuff in my backyard. Strafing + shooting, running, rolls, dives, slides, etc. I spend a lot of time firing off my paintball gun, too, which is really loud because i usually use my custom barrel that has no porting.
And when I'm not doing that, I have my bass guitar out back with my amp and I'm playing something
...I'm a horrible neighbor =p

I'd complain to the cops that I lived next to a fvcking dork.
Haha.
What's worse is in my town, they'd probably come out and investigate anyways.
Honestly though, it give me something to do when I'm not cycling/playing music in my band/ hanging out with friends/etc.
What I love more are the neighborhoods who decide to rally against one person having fun and form HOA's to force folk to "behave."
You live out in the boondocks like this to be this odd, to have a BMX or horse track in your yard. People with this NIMBY mentality disgust me.

Do you get real thirsty in your front yard?
