Didn’t a kid get crushed/dragged by a BCFD fire truck near Payson and Pratt last October riding an illegally operated dirt bike? The kid was riding to see the family of a kid who had also died on a dirt bike.

Good to see a Dad stepping up though. This city could use more involved and actively participating Dads.

thats one thing i do appreciate, and im glad you expressed it more diligently than others in the sub, but they watched out for cars and paused riding,

there is a little dirt path that extends for about 2 blocks, they rode on that, safer landing, no cars

Yeah, I’m not a complete NIMBY, just tired of seeing the city’s kids dying and suffering life altering injuries. We can do better. Glad to hear the pair are having fun, learning some rider safety, and enjoying a bond rather than suffering the worse effects of parental neglect and the dangerous aspects of idle time in a dangerous city.

Not wanting people to illegally ride dirtbikes on streets doesn't make people NIMBYs.

I’m good with my application and use of NIMBY in this context, I’m pretty sure most people got my point.
