6 May 2004 <br /> Parks and Open Space Division <br /> 1820 Roosevelt <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 <br /> attn: Johnny Medlin <br /> Division Manager <br /> Mr. Medlin, <br /> We are writing on behalf of the Willamette Valley Freeriders, a burgeoning group of <br /> cyclists who seek out technical riding opportunities currently unavailable in the <br /> Eugene area. Common aspects of freeriding include dirt jumps, creating stunts from <br /> natural terrain, and riding above the ground on built terrain bridges. This form of riding <br /> is rapidly increasing in popularity and an effort by the city to meet this demand would <br /> be appreciated. <br /> Finding an area to create a bike park would ensure oversight of all riding terrain and <br /> structures, maximizing rider safety, while also accounting for environmental concerns. <br /> Several WVF members have significant experience with trail building and built terrain <br /> construction. The Willamette Valley Freeriders support a sustainable bike park <br /> development and would be glad to offer ideas and suggestions. Thank you for the <br /> time in considering this matter. We look forward to working with you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Al/k V(114/1, <br /> Hollis Brake Steve Glass Park Willis <br /> wvf@willamettevalleyffeeriders.org <br /> k t4T-tin <br /> e( A1N\ JEFF J <br />
