"BMX is not a crime" local BMX riders need a safe place to ride!

BMXers in the Pasco county area have the obsticle of not having a place to legaly perform their sport within the community. These atheletes are being arrested for riding their bikes. Its sadning for these riders to hear that the newly built local skatepark wont be including bikes at all. They arent even givin a day or a session to ride. This causes these atheletes to ride in other places where riding BMX is prohibited or illigal. This situation is dangerous to the riders along with the community. The BMXers here desperatly need a safe place to enjoy thier sport with the peace of mind that their riding session wont be ended with handcuffs. "BMX IS NOT A CRIME"

Pasco County Parks and Recreation District:

We the undersigned believe that the BMX riders in the Pasco County area need a place to perform their sport. The magnitude of this situation renders young riders no other alternative than to protest the unjustification surrounding youth being arrested for simply riding a bike. Land O Lakes parks and recreation recently opened a skatepark for the youth but during the planning, decided to not include BMXers into the mix. They do not understand that if the youth arent givin a place to legaly enjoy thier sport, the streets become their playground. this is dangerous for both the community along with the youth. So we the undersigned strongly believe these young riders need a place to ride wether it be through a new public BMX facility or simply incorporating these athletes into the local skatepark. BMX is not a crime and these talented athletes should not be treated as criminals. They are simply in need of a place to shine in our community. Thank you for your time reading our letter.
