Pumping up the style for young people with a range of abilities : Disability BMX
The ABLE Project's 'BMX highriders' scheme received £8,374 from Big Lottery's Awards for All to create a BMX club for young people with special needs. We worked half a day every week (12 weeks) to self-build an innovative pump track in the grounds of Ravenscliffe High School and Sports College, Halifax, England. Calderdale & Kirklees Green Business Network managed the project and are now transferring the lessons learnt onto a new (10 acre) site in North Kirklees. The pilot track remains in place as a community resource.
We are grateful to volunteers from Lloyds Banking Group, the largest retail bank in UK (HQ in Halifax) for helping move soil. You can also see an existing 'Freewheelers' adapted bike in action.
