9th Street Austin,
Texas - Duncan Park BMX Trails
For the past 20 years, the South side of Duncan Park
has been used as a BMX bicycle Jumping/Trail spot. It has been hand built by the
local riders with very minimal involvement from the City of Austin and
absolutely zero compensation.
9th
Street; as it is
called by the locals, is an ongoing community cooperative work project. A
completely self organized and self directed movement. Non-profit and
non-discriminatory.
An internationally recognized BMX monument.
9th
Street has helped shape Austin
into the BMX mecca it is today. It has a very positive financial and economic
impact on the local community. Created from free labor
by good samaritans. 9th Street creates a unique, hand-built, BMX paradise
for all ages to enjoy. Keeping Austin Weird.
The 9th Street Locals have moved thousands of tons of
earth, shovel by shovel. 20 years ago the park was flat ground. Now it is
dotted with hundreds of dirt mounds sculpted to perfect form. Countless
hard working people call 9th Street home. It has been built with pride and
back breaking manual labor.
As an organization known as;
"The 9th St. Locals", we work with the City of Austin and Austin Parks.org
to the benefit of the park. If you get a chance to
visit, please take a moment watch how things work. Be friendly, talk to a
local rider. Please pick up your trash and have fun.
