For shit sakes we need to let common sense prevail. Enough with this over liberalized nanny state!

Shutting down the BMX jumps above Kopachuck Middle School would limit the area's youth and adults who are interested in the sport of BMX from a great opportunity to practice what they love doing, and, more importantly, perhaps, from being part of a unique, dynamic group of people that have a deep respect for community. I don’t think many would argue against preserving and encouraging community ties, while, at the same time, promoting physical activity. It’s my understanding that the effort to save these jumps is, ultimately, an effort to do just that—to bring people together and to be active while doing so—so why wouldn’t the community want to prevent the destruction of these jumps?

The biggest names in BMX and even Mountain biking comes from trails like these. You take the trails away, you could be taking someone's future away.

keeping BMX alive is a great deal to struggling youth, helps them deal with any issues they have in a healthy way. Keep the trails!

Would hate to see it go. Even if not this specific place, we all have somewhere like this that we grew up at and created lasting memories with... For many Kopachuck Trails is that place.

Im in my mid 30's and I've just returned to the NW BMX scene after many years away from riding.. I myself am pushing for an initiative in Tacoma to help us build up our riding locations because we are so limited in these types of trails.. Skateboarders were given Skate Parks, and we BMX riders are still predominantly without decent places to ride.. The guys who started and maintained the Kopachuck trail spot are all outstanding individuals with a lkt of talent.. But they didnt get like that without all the hard work put into building their trails over the last 25 years.. Its been heartbreaking for them and the rest of us to face another spot being lost.. Any and all legal avenues are being pursued and taken seriously in the most mature way possible.. All thats needed is a little understanding and compassion, as well as some helpful and proactive support from all of you who are weighing the final decision..
Save the trails!!
