Please vote yes. The poll is in the middle of the page, kinda hard to find.

The city is going to use these poll results to help make a decision about the dirt jumps.

Please pass this to your friends as well.

Thanks

Needs a lot more votes...

 

[stoney]

Why would people say no?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

To forestall the wheeled locusts?

 

[pnj]

she really has her panties in a bunch over this. THAT I PROMISE YOU!! desecration is a hard choice of words. I imagine her to be in her late 40's early 50's and wears Patagonia and only shops at Whole Foods

 

[pnj]

^ I'm in my 40's and wear patagonia. (I'm not an a-hole though)

 

[Adventurous]

Vote in. Good luck dude.

 

[JohnE]

Vote in. Terry seems to have swallowed a thesaurus, and has no concept of the amount of work and time that these jumps and trails take to build, and has no clue of the meaning of the word clear cut...where was your righteous indignation when the trails were begun? $20 says she just moved to the area.

Been dealing with BS like this my entire life. People need to get a life instead of fretting about some mounds of dirt in the woods that could easily go back to nature in under five years if it actually mattered. Why doesn't that lunatic make some people pay for the massive parking lots and freeways?

Voted.

 

[pnj]

my point exactly, 4130biker.

She travels the world in huge planes. how much vegetation is removed to make those runways/airports? not to mention the fuel for the planes.

Feel free to leave comments on her website...

 

[kidwoo]

Voted.

Will vote again.

And again.


First sentence on that idiot's profile:

My trip to the Amazon in 2002 was a life-altering experience: I almost died from a fire ant sting

She seems to travel a lot but doesn't seem to get out much.

 

[jonKranked]

I almost died from a fire ant sting

so close, yet so far away.

 

[kidwoo]

Hey pnj, I know that's just a poll in a newspaper but what's the deal with the town? Are they seriously considering leaving them up as part of the park?

That place looks sweet. Tell the impressionable children who are building them without knowledge of the true danger I said nice work

voted, but dirt jumps are scary...

Which is why you must KILL them!!

While simultaneously jet setting all over the planet at 0.2 miles per gallon of jet fuel in order to get dramatic instagram photos of you in pretty dresses all over the world.......and then pretending to be concerned about ecosystems that you don't even understand.

Jeez, you'd think she built some skinnies the way you're all worked up...

There are xc trails in this same section of woods. The jumps location was a 'freeride' area, years ago. so you know, crappy piles of dirt with logs sticking out.

The section of land was recently sold and there is a group (that doesn't ride bikes) that wants to see a jump park section in the woods.

I'm not sure what the city is thinking but there are clearly two distinct voices regarding the use of this section of woods. I think if enough people voice their opinion towards the 'yes' vote, the city will see there is a need for this type of trails.

 

[boostindoubles]

I've walked through the dj's with my cousin who lives in Muk. He's shown me around the Gulch a few times. I'm glad the trails as a whole are finally getting recognition. The xc stuff is fun and the railroad graded climb is cake. As for the dj's, that one line is giant! Props to the builders and shredders.

Whatever that group is wanting the park, may the force be with you. Especially if they're not even riders. That's awesome.

The poll close with BMX sitting at 74%.
Nice job folks!

Here is the latest info. It sounds like the mayor is open to the idea of a dirt jump park. Notice our friends that are against it also have a voice in this article.

Please feel free to email Jennifer Gregerson, the Mayor of Mukilteo and let here know your thoughts on BMX dirt jumps.

Thanks!

someone should bury that preshaw nutjob in a "foxhole"

 

[stoney]

That bitch is crazy.

 

[pnj]

She went from saying it was an environmental issue (until she got called out on her own interests) to it now being a liability issue.

How does liability work with skateparks, soccer fields, sidewalks, walking paths, etc?
