As the saga of places to ride bikes in Montogmery County continues the County is now claiming "we don't know how many people want some where to ride bikes".
There are new skate parks planned but they have not answered if bikes will be allowed. Possible locations for the skate parks are, Germantown, Silver Spring, Poolsville and Damascus. They still plan not to let bikes in the Olney Skate Park. There is also a couple of jump/freeride parks in the works but at this point they are just talking.
So it is time to flood them with emails
Sent an email to Park and Planning and the Department of Recreation. The email addresses are below. Include your name and address. They do make check that they are receiving emails from real people.

We need everyone who wants to ride the skate parks or get freeride and dirt jump areas in the County to email. If you live with your parents and they want some where for you to ride, have them email as well!
I want to hear the County complain that they have been flooded with emails asking for places to ride bikes!
Following is a example for an email. Feel free to use this, add things such as elements you want etc or write your own.
Hello,
I live in Montgomery County and enjoy riding and jumping bikes. Currently there is no where in the County for this activity. I would like to see some jump/freeride areas built and bikes allowed in the County skate parks.
Sincerely,
