I am not up-to-date on the negative impact that this BMX track has on the environment at Munson Mountain, but I do know that I am a 45-year-old that will still today hop on a BMX and race and enjoy it.
Munson Mountain is a beautiful place, but why deny the growth of children and young adults with our own selfishness by curtailing the enjoyment of BMX riding versus having our children on the streets running wild.
I, and many others, support the development but at the same time there needs to be more discussion on this matter and keep in mind everyone who is involved and is affected by this.
No one should be denied the opportunity to develop a skill that is competed on at the Olympic-level.
