Our Pump Track is History

My English is not perfect. I´m from Spain and I think is a good idea tell everybody what has happened in the Pump Track. I think it was about four years when we made our Pump Track, which includes some big Jumps, small jumps and a big Pump Track. We started working every day, doing as much things as we can. We invite friends, big groups. We all enjoyed it. I remember all that days, we were so happy! More things, we worked at nights, we ate there, we were so happy with our Pump Track.

Not only this. We worked more times, doing new jumps, new parts. All was so good. We learned so much, trying to get some technique for Downhill. Well, all of us we practice Downhill Mountain Bike, so the Pump Track was to train for Downhill races. Not only that, small guys started learning to jump with their bikes and some tricks.

Well, that was the good part of the story. Yesterday I was with some friends riding in our Pump Track. All was good, those of that friends were starting to jump with their bikes and trying to learn. But that was yesterday, not today...

Today I was eating with my family when a friend called me... He said that "Our Pump Track is history". I didn´t undestood that, so I started doing questions to him trying to know what happened. So I got my bike and started riding so fast on direction to the Pump Track. It was about 40 meters to get there, and I saw a big esplanade. For me it was a lot of frustration. I did not believe what I saw, I was totally screwed. I could not believe... The forestry community has broke everything!

I have no words to describe how I feel. But I can say I feel awful, not wanting to be with anyone. Eager to f*ck that we did this. I hope this will serve to valoréis your work, and so you to make sure that no one will interrupt what you have done.

Thank you all for reading this

 And there goes another good life time achievement down the tubes thanks to some people who had other intentions of ruining a great sport for people who enjoyed it and needed it. Que Lastima! Lo siento amigo!
