BHMBA

The Rapid City dirt jump park was officially opened at a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday evening. The park is the result of a partnership between the city and bhmba to provide a safe, sustainable recreation area for all riders of all skill levels.

The park “sheriff” Kelly Combs spoke about the construction of the park and the ongoing effort to maintain and improve it.

A large group of riders cut the ribbon by riding through it on their way to the jumps.

The park is the result of a lot of hard work and generous donations of money, time, equipment, and labor. We’d like to thank everyone involved in the process especially the following:
