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.

Step 1, get used to the track ...


The first training session on Friday 25th March in glorious Spring weather. A small group with learning disabilities (but capable of independent travel to school) begin by "pumping" the track on foot.
