L.A./Kern County: If I build it, will you come?
I have some land in California City (Kern County), for which I have received offers to purchase for commercial buildings, etc.

But I have something else in mind: an indoor or outdoor mountain bike jumping/"air-field"' or ladder park, or a BMX park. I am from the Los Angeles area, and have had limited exposure to Kern County, so I am not familar with the ridership or level of interest in that area.

So, here is the question my friends: If I were to build such a thing, will you come? How often, and how much would you pay for 1) A year pass or 2) a per-session run?

This is a risky business venture for me personally, but that is where my heart lies. Depending on what kind of feedback I get to this post, I might write a business plan, form a development company, borrow money, and let a rip on the idea. There are 9 million obstacles for me to cross to get it built, but I'd like to make it happen if the interest is there.

My vision is to create a place "by riders, for riders" - so you would have substantial input on the design and layout.

Your thoughts?

    this isn't my feild but i think you'll do well if you make this park. a ton of people in that area are into such a thing. i think it's a great idea, so cal needs people like you and projects like this.
