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 now actively pursuing our plans to scale up our disabled BMX pilot project onto the 10 acre ABLE2 site next to Spen Valley Greenway, Heckmondwike. The new pump track will follow the 'lost' Leeds New Line.

We are grateful to Sported for providing mentor support during this exciting next stage of our pioneering disability BMX project.
