Ride The Bay Protest Update
I was at the Berkeley park on the 9th. There were tons of riders there, along with skateboarders. That park get's crowded with 5 people there because of the shitty layout. Anyways; we all rode together swimmingly.
A cop did show up and we all exited the park without being asked to leave. Almost everyone waited for a few minutes for the cop to leave, and decided to hit up the biker friendly park Alameda.
Before leaving, I noticed the cop talk to a skateboarder for a bit. I waited to talk to the skater after the cop left, and it seems that the police dept of Berkeley does not want to be called about bmxer's in the park anymore! The cop also said that they legally can't do anything, because a huge majority of skaters were not wearing helmets and pads, so theoretically; everyone is breaking the law.
Keep up the presence at Berkeley park. This place will be the first park on the list of Single park protests in the coming year.

Update
Ride The Bay is still going down tomorrow. It's not going to be as big as it should be, but you should still get out there and ride the parks.
Even if you ride Trails or street and barely touch park, you should consider coming out and supporting bmxers. We are working to educate the local cities that have parks, and cities that are thinking about building one. It's been a long time coming that bmxers unite to end this No bikes bullshit. Support your local shops. Support your local riders. Educate the youth.
This park allows bikes, but it needs to see a big demand to keep the hours going. Someone in Socal needs to arrange a big bmx outing to show the city of fontana that bmxers want a place to ride, not just 2 nights a week.

Hell On Wheels!
Hell On Wheels/First Rule Jam went down yesterday! It was so good to see so many riders out. I was handing out flyers for the upcoming protest. It's going to be huge! Yesterday was such a good sign that bmx is growing, and that we can't be stopped!
Just so you guys know, we are going to be doing this once a month. We will pick 5 different parks in the bay that are notorious for giving bmx trouble. Every month we will tackle new parks, and educate the local cities. If you have idea's, or suggestions: createbmx@gmail.com
We are looking for collaborators, leaders and contributors.
Feel free to print these flyers and hand them out. Spread the word and check back here often!
