Title: Sheep Hills
Post by: supercoolguy on August 24, 2006, 03:29:42 AM: Okay well if you don't know, sheep hills used to be the raddest dirt spot ever. However, due to neglect and stupid 50cc bike riders it has gone downhill over the last few years. I was pretty stoked when i read this email from ricky rat the directbmx website thing.

That place has come up and left many times over the years, do not count it out.
It has been around a lot longer than you probably think.

Post by: fatstevebmx on January 26, 2007, 12:27:09 PM: sheep hills has definitly been around a long time and bred some bad ass riders,, when i went was when i was 21,, im 27 now,,and it was torn all to hell ,, the one section that curved to the right and was super bowled out that ran along the bushes,, you could not even tell it was bike jumps,, i heard that they left the pumps out and it got stolen,, somone donated a water pump to pump in water form the canal i think it was,, all them old locals are coked out idiots now..its a shame,,
