I took my dog for a walk, we went down to the old trails from my house onto the power lines where I learned how to ride a dirt bike. We walked all the old grounds. Found the old hits, all overgrown.. Burns in the trails mostly still there, people have been riding out there a little bit...
Then we went to my pits. It's an old gravel pit had a 40 ft cliff on one side, hill on the other, one in the middle that had a decent 30" table top. We had 5 or 6 big jumps, a small motocross track, and a track around the outside... Then trailers up over the cliffs.
This is where I learned how to ride a motorcycle. And not like throttle clutch shift turn, ltur where I really learned how to ride. Where I got good..
Walked my dog out there. I get to where the clearing should have been with the mud pit to cross that would lead you into the pits and to the back of one of the big hills that was used like a berm.
I'm staring face to face with a huge pile of dirt. I climb to the top of the dirt..

This is what I found!!!!! The circled area, that was the tip of the cliff... They filled in the pits, all the way to the top of the cliff and graded it level.
It's gone.... Under 40' of dirt site my childhood.. the place that gave me the skill I'm most proud of in the world. ..
Some people call this progress, I'm sure it's going to be a subdivision. But wait is the next Andy find the place to ride. What's his escape from life?!?? Probably on the fucking internet.
I'm devastated..
