BMX TRACK AT BISHOPS WAY


We are designing a new BMX track at Bishops Way open space and we would really like to hear your thoughts on the lay out of the track. The shape of the track cannot be changed, however, the ramps, berms (banks to allow riders to maintain speed) surfaces etc are still to be decided and this is where we need your help.

We have a short questionnaire below and would be very grateful if you could fill it in and press the submit button at the bottom.

Before you start, here is a map showing where the BMX track will be built:

And here is a sketch of the track without any ramps.

Question 1)

There are two options for the layout of the track. We could either have a fast track where people race each other around and go over 3 types of ramp or we could have a street style track where there are single ramps, which you can go up and pull tricks. Which would you prefer (please click on one).

Race Track

Street Style Track

Question 2)

Because of flood risk we intend to use ramps which are hollow underneath. Below are the options for the ramps. Please rate each ramp from 1 - 5 where 1 is poor and 5 is awesome.

Height of ramp 0.5 metres. Flat timber on one side half logs on the other

Height of ramp 0.6 metres. Flat timber take off/landing. Length 3 metres
