I feel so lucky living in Eastern Washington when I read of access and/or user-conflict issues elsewhere. One of our most-ridden areas - Beacon Hill - is an every-rider's dream. Lots of singletrack, lots of climbs and two purpose-built NORBA DH courses that anyone can ride any time. And most of it is City park land, augmented by cooperative private landowners. In addition, our local IMBA-affiliated club (the Fat Tire Trail Riders) have officially 'adopted' the area and are not only maintaining and building new trails (with the city's blessing), they have reached out to include most of the major freeride/stunt-building groups in planning/building sustainable, permanent stunts. Most of these people in the club are XC and trail riders, but they recognize the reality and are working hard to include FR into the overall scheme. They are even applying for a Kona grant and another one to help pay for the materials and such to do quality builds.
As always, positive energy and tangible action speak volumes more than talk and attitude.
