Legal TTF's on City Property (?)

Last night I wrote up a brief summary of what I would like to construct in the way of Technical Trail Features on City of Penticton property on Campbell Mt., then submitted it to C.O.P staff.

I feel that its more than high time that we design and constructed a couple of quality-built TTF's, demonstrating that features of this nature can be safely implemented on public lands.

The plan is to (over-engineer) a pair of basic jumps, one 2ft and another 3ft, taking safety into account as a paramount focus - ie; fall-zones / runout / signage etc. Once in place and given the blessing of city staff, these humble beginning could serve as a touchstone which we can point to in future endeavours - and perhaps some day - a proper skills park!

I wonder how the Motor bikers will treat these jumps.

I'm gonna' build them strong enough to hold a Hummer!

Hopefully those guys will soon be excluded from Campbell - those dudes just don't know how to responsibly use dirt-bikes (duh - the obvious statement of 2012)...

As a dirt-bike rider and practically lifetime motorcycle aficionado, I can wholeheartedly state that they are lame in a way that simply lacks words...

If the freaking gov' would get its collective ass in gear and mandate a dirt-bike / quad side-sticker licensing scheme (like exists in EVERY OTHER PROVINCE except Quebec) then we would see a massive drop in idiotic dirt-bike riding in the province.

If you wanna' do your part in getting that to happen a weeeeeee bit faster, then go here:
