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 love that pump track!"

Thanks to Charlie, Mark & co this is our very exciting plan for a 4x scale up of disabled BMX onto the ABLE2 Kirklees site in Heckmondwike. For more information read the Spenborough Guardian. Latest news from Ravencliffe Special School track "You will be pleased to know that the pump track is being well used, we are trying to use it as much as possible before the winter. It's mainly our younger students either riding it or running round it!"
