TBC
I think ghettos is an odd word to use. Facilities would be better.
what else would you use to describe corralling MTB'ers based on their ability?
"Beginner sir? left door. Freeride god? Ah, you'll be wanting the right door."
The next thing will be a 3rd party judging what level of centre you should attend on the grounds of H+S….
There is just simply not the space/funding/scope to provide every grade at every facility.
I can state categorically that there is space and scope at CV. As for funding I accept that money is tight, but Forestry Commission found a way to spunk £300,000 in Golspie's direction so lets not pretend the money cant be found IF there is a will or a loophole.
It seems people only get huffy with the FC when they create something to include new people into the sport. Picture it from the other side – you want to get into it and you think they are just building red's and blacks all the time. We need all grades.
couldn't agree more. I am all for new riders coming into the sport but I dislike the creeping notion of CV as a "feeder station" for the so called flagships in the N and S of the country.
I do hope its a good thing for the venue but I do not trust or accept FC's motives one iota and their continued hold on MTB in its trail centre form should be worrying everyone if this is what happens to a minor red feature on a trail.
