Guys this is our petition for the city.
I have been in contact with the city recently.
We are starting a peition requesting great overhauls.
Thanks!

First off, I want to say, I poo'd again tonight, and it also was awesome.

In more relevance, that is a pointless way to waste time, and it will get you nowhere.

The city of Mississauga made such parks as the "challenge park", which if you have ridden there, you will notice is for challenged people.

We had the city help us at the Clarkson rebuild day, long over a year ago.

This was the death of the jumps in Clarkson.

The city of Mississauga has standards, which limit the parameters and design of any stunts. If you would like to have jumps or trails of any value, find somewhere the city wont bother you, some butthole of the city. The city ruins anything which would be a liability to them, so even if they help you now by some miracle, they wont get you anywhere.

Now another route, is to build near the GTA border, or on Hydro line fields. These kinds of places are out of the city parks commissions hands.


I mean just do the math, if you get the city in, you get shity jumps, shity trails and any other denomination of shit you would like. On top of the city, you have vandals, kids, and nature to worry about, in the upkeep of the area.

If you build it yourself, with a good two dozen helpers, and take a weekend this month. You then only have the vandals and nature to worry about, as we don't tell kids how to find it, make it far to distant for them to get to, and remote.

alright mann so where do you sugguest to build then, down by the fields near the canada post office?

Which Canada post office? Are you talking about the oil flats? Where the old refinery used to be across from the credit landing?

Horrible place, it's still owned by Petro Canada, not to mention the soil is more a fine gravel, and cannot be packed into a jump... no...

We need forest.

What forest? There's a forest down my street I used to have built up, just at Hurontario and the QEW. Until some kids and eventually the city ruined them, they worked great, and the forest is fair sized.

It's called Mary Fix, there is a main walking trail already, none of it is run by the city, and as long as there is no garbage, and we stay off the path already in there, nobody will complain to the city. There's more than enough forest for a run of decent jumps. I was even thinking of a small creek gap.

Ey man

you can tell that they "were" jumps. they have shrunk (like 3 feet high) and the lips are terrible. basically just take 3 of clarkson's smallest worst jumps add some stupid tall grass and a slight uphill inrun and you have challenge park.

it woulden't be worth it to have it at challenge park. only three jumps gets boring. but i would be down if it was on the larger side at clarkson.
