Don't let fun-wreckers block terrain park. Please sign: http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/terrainpark

Posted to facebook in case any of my friends are cool. Everybody likes terrain parks, even if they're thousands of miles away.

It's for the children brah
 
Awesome idea to post to Facebook & ask your friends to sign. This park will also include a tubing hill so even your friends who don't ski/snowboard can have fun. Success breeds success & your town could eventually have one of these if this is allowed to be built. (We're up to almost 1,000 signatures in just a few days). BTW, here's a guy who says "recreation" means "free." Just another attempt to block this terrain park: http://www.ktvb.com/video?id=225294272&sec=550617
 
Figured out why they don't want it.

The county commissioner's brother-in-law is the GM of Bogus Basin, the local mountain. He's getting' scared because he thinks his wife's brother is gonna lose money. What a bunch of bullshit.
 
Now Ada County Commissioners also stopped Gravity Logic from designing/building a sick flow trail for mountain bikes on the land adjacent to the planned terrain park! Does their vision not include mountain biking either???
 
where are you finding all this info? i wanna stay in the loop. i want this to be done when i come back for christmas, better sign again
 
I post info on my (Sam Sandmire) Facebook Timeline. Also check "Eagle Bike Park - powered by Bamba" Facebook Page. We're trying to put all of the news stories & updates on those pages.
 
Letter to the editor in today's Idaho Statesman from Kim Micinski, US Freeski Rookie Team Member, Alexi Micinski's Mom:

Eagle park

Sochi 2014! The Winter Olympics are just around the corner (February 2014) and there’s a new kid in town. We’ve enjoyed freeskiing (halfpipe and slope-style) watching X Games and now they will be a part of the Olympics. The proposed Gateway Park in Eagle is a gateway to learning to ski and board and having all the fun of freeskiing. After the kids watch the Olympics, freeskiing is going to explode! It will be so exciting to head to the new Gateway Park to try those awesome tricks and then venture up to Bogus to try them on the “big hill.”

We’ve seen the articles in the Statesman and the news reports on local stations. Many of us have attended the Eagle City Council meetings and learned about the park. It’s clear to see that the Eagle City Council researched the park and its advantages and disadvantages (if there are any) carefully. Ryan Neptune has patiently and thoroughly explained his plan. Gateway Park is a recreational win for the residents of Ada County.

Get involved. Let the Ada County commissioners know you support Gateway Park. Email them at bocc1@adaweb.net.

KIM MICINSKI, Meridian

Looks like the county commissioners' ties to Bogus Basin are finally going to be made public. Bogus leaders need to realize that an urban terrain park will actually HELP them in the long run by creating more skiers/snowboarders who will get hooked on the sport & eventually make their way up the mountain. Vail realizes this & heavily supports the urban park in Denver. Bogus leaders who are opposed to this lack vision.
