I sign every single one of these petitions that comes across the boards, but do these ever help? Just curious is all, not digging at anyone.

Yeah, petitions predate the internet. I would never expect the city or whoever wants to plow the jumps to change their mind based on an electronic petition.

Make a video that you can present at the city hall meeting. Interview local riders, give some background info on what bmx is all about... put together a polished presentation that will make them want to reconsider.

Find out why there is opposition to having the jumps there. Come up with rebuttals to all their points, and compromise if you have to.

Online petitions are a waste of time. You need to get local residents to sign a local petition. Cities don't care what outsiders want, especially if outsiders are trying to tell the city how to spend the cities money.
