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.

Week 1: at the starting gate!


Dave Blackburn (Garden Manager), 'Casper' Taylor (Chain Brakers) and a student, celebrate the exciting launch of the 'highriders' project in September 2010.

Casper already runs ABLE's own pump track in Wakefield (see links). He is now helping with this Halifax pilot project.
