That's revolting treatment and I understand you not wanting to go back there. I would, however, encourage you to write/email a letter to the higher ups detailing what happened yesterday, with names of staff or physical description, where possible. This shouldn't be allowed to go by with no action.
I still can't figure out how 7 year olds get round that track. Are they all taller than 4'11? LOL

I sure as shit aint going back to be taught how to "pump" or roll
round a berm... pointless bureaucracy, another thing BMX tracks
attract.With regard to this bit I can actually understand why you've got to be able to demonstrate you are safe/competent for the rock up and ride type sessions. It's a public facilty, publicly funded and imagine the outrage if some awful accident was caused by someone turning up who had never even gotten on a bmx before? I'm sure that wouldn't happen, but y'know, this is the age of 'elf and safety innit.

@clefty Glad you had a great induction... you might of noticed us arrive? We wandered on to the track only to have a very unfriendly member of staff rudely telling us that it cost money to ride the place, as if we couldn't afford it. After we informed them that paying was a non issue they proceeded to roll out as many reasons as possible why we still wouldn't be allowed to ride.. "You don't have a helmet!" "It's in my bag".
Basically jobs worth nobodies talking down to people. Hardly a great way to be greeted, I don't know what it is about BMX tracks but they attract a certain kind of power hungry under skilled cretin.
Sorry to bring negative vibes on to this thread, really great you guys had fun, it makes a nice read too, just really soured my day and I sure as shit aint going back to be taught how to "pump" or roll round a berm... pointless bureaucracy, another thing BMX tracks attract.
