For 15 years Vercoe trails located in Waukegan, IL have served the BMX community as one of the best BMX Trails locations in the Midwest. Built and maintained in woodland entirely by hand by a handful of local BMX riders for the pleasure of local riders and those from all over the world. Sadly the future for this trail spot is is uncertain as one of the land owners has put part of the land the trails occupies up for sale. While we've always known the trails are located on private land and that the owner is well within their rights to do what they wish, were hoping there is some alternative or compromise that can be met after being in place for so long. Please show your support and help anyway you can to preserve this BMX hotspot!

If the land gets sold can we maybe talk to the new owners about keeping it open?? Too much hard work into these jumps to just bulldoze them
