building jumps

[skillz]

hey
me and a friend have found an awesome place to build some jumps, its in a park though.
theirs a fence neext to it and some trees.. just wondeirng can we get in trouble for building them?

[Ride_Guy]

Umm most likely yes if its national park yes, if its like play ground park yes and if some one owns it they might crack wobblies.

Always get the owners permission before building, there's a whole shitload of liability that goes along with building jumps, and you risk giving the whole sport a bad name if something goes wrong.

[hardtail free rider]

if its public property then u dont have to worry bout owners......just the council

[skillz]

[Ride_Guy]

Surrey Dive? Whereabouts up there?

A general rule of thumb is: if it's got grass and people can see it, don't bother.
