This petition is for Transition Extreme skatepark in Aberdeen to allow 24" Jump Bikes in on the grounds that there is simply no logical reason for them to be allowed.
They are happy to let younger less experianced kids ride around on BMX. This is unfair on the street mountain biking community (which is thriving when you look at it) because a however-many-thousand-square-foot complex can't cover a few extra inches of bikes, but they won't let in older kids that have park etiquette because of the size of the wheels
It's a bit silly. The only differance is the size. other than that... the single speed gearing, rigid forks, one brakes etc. I Cannot see why they can't let them ride the park.
The momentum behind this request for policy change confirms that the riding community feels strongly about inclusive access. This level of support demonstrates that our argument for opening the park to these bikes is both reasonable and widely shared.

Ridiculous rule. Been riding my jump bike for years and I know how to behave in a park better than some of the little kids they let in there. Let us ride.
