Should Boiulder City Council Fund Mountain Bike Park
Boulder City Nevada City Council is under pressure to cut funding for the Internationaly Renoun mountain bike park. Local recreation mountain bicyclists feel the health and economic benefits greatly outweigh the funding required to continue the development and upkeep of the park.
Sponsor
Las Vegas area mountain biker Matthew Carter is sponsoring this petition. For me the mountain bike park is one of the few reasons I would ever spend time or money in Boulder City Nevada.

This is not only a great bike park for biking enthusiast, but a great way to pump money back into the small businesses of Boulder City. I think it would be a wise decision for the city to embrace *Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park* I have friends from all over the west coast who come to town to ride the trails and eat at the local restraunts.

I visited Bootleg Canyon for the first time this year. I have since told a number of friends that they should go (including some non-bikers, to whom I described the charms of Boulder City) and haver planned a rturn trip for fall.

Don't stop funding. I would probably never go to Boulder City and spend money if Bootleg Canyon MTB Park was not there. I don't camp and pay for a room plus 3 meals a day, bike supplies, and shuttling. This has to be beneficial to the economy there. I will just have to take my money elsewhere.

Please continue funding of the Bootleg Canyon mtb park. This is a world class destination and is likely responsible for bringing 100,000s of $ annually to your community.

Even though I visit Las Vagas for business every year, I could barely place Boulder City on a map 2 years back, let alone visiting it in person, despite its close proximity to LV. But that changed last year, when I found out about Bootleg Canyon and the well-regarded mountain bike trails there. One ride on the trail convinced me to place Boulder City permanently on my list of places for return visits.
The trails in Bootleg Canyon are well-layout and maintained. Perfectly suitable for all ability riders. It's a beautiful place for visitor to nearby Las Vagas visitors to escape the strip for a day. And the town of Boulder City has many other diversions to offer as well. But I never would have found out those other things BC has to offer had it not for the renoun trail of Bootleg Canyon.
Mountain biking is a growing activity that appeals to young and old. In my view, the trails in Bootleg Canyon will bring more benefit to Boulder City beyong just a bunch of 20 mething dirty mountain bikers.
