Why is this a story you’re proud of. Destroying something that’s been a positive for decades for a local news story?!?

Everyone who called this “illegal” should have their hobby called illegal and destroyed.

I have a lot of fond memories of going down there as a kid with friends. It's been there for years. And it's probably gonna get dozed now, all for the sake of a news story. Thanks ruining it for other generations to discover.

Instead of exposing corrupt politicians, sleazy businesses, or quack doctors, let's expose people with literally no money or power. Also this info-babe seems more concerned about someone's agenda than the issue of the homeless. How about we deal with the homeless first and worry about public safety second? Isn't living by the river a public safety problem anyway?

Such great journalism. You really uncovered a crime ring there. Cant have these kids outside being active. The video games, cell phones and drugs might get lonely.

These jumps were the best. Way to go taking it down

Way to ruin a good time. Get a life and stop ruining other people’s!

You'd think they stumbled upon a meth lab.

This spot is a huge homeless camp now. Trash, needles, all sorts of fun stuff as far as the eye can see. I never got to ride here and was looking for a cool place to bring my kids. Went to scope it out, and promptly left disappointed and disgusted.

Good job exposing this danger to the public! Instead of building a BMX track those kids should be indoors playing video games or hooked on opioids.

Any real journalist would know that you're NOT supposed to blow up the spot!

What's the first rule of fight club?

Cool, now its gonna get dozed

Kids and adults use biking to get out and have fun. Also nice after a good day of work or school. It keeps the kids active and teaches them mechanics skills when working on their bike. I’m very happy our town has added a park like this for the public. Not get it destroyed like this news lady. Seriously lady, maybe try supporting your community.

Decades of work all thrown away by a clown

It’s not a “strange story” it’s strange that it was considered a “story” But not strange that the non-story helped destroy something beautiful

She saying “we’re going to ask the residents that live near” acting like a big railway has just been put in smh

Another one flattend for no reason at all. This shit happens on Australia too. Instead they want us to go to skateparks where we could accidently hit a 5 year old on a scooter and possibly give them a serious injury. These bmx/mtb trails have their own community that maintains and cares for them. Not the local council who "cant afford it" Parks like this is keeping teens off the streets and councils just flatten them out and then homeless usually go and setup tents their. Im all for giving homeless people land to sleep but im also for getting the next generation of bmx riders a spot to have fun and chill out away from the streets. I grew up with bmx trails similar to this in Australia, we worked our butts off for sometimes 10 hours each day building jumps and finally getting the satisfaction to jump them. Before meeting people on the bmx trails I had some bad "street" friends but once we got onto bmx we never saw them friends again. Now I'm my mid 30s we still go down s few times a year with friends and also teach the next generation of riders. Would you rather bmx riders doing jumps over dangerous things on the street possibly harming themselves and others? Or would you rather them safely doing them on dirt jumps made for it without harming anybody? It's amazing how stupid our "leaders" are. Just because you didn't authorise it, it doesn't mean it doesn't belong. Instead of flattening it maybe hold a community meeting and discuss it.

Amagine having nothing else to report on so you go and shout out someone’s insanely hard work to get destroyed

Shorty got nun better to do then ruin a local spot

They should have put a big sign up that said "George Floyd Dirt Memorial". Then it would have been protected by all the politicians.

Almost made another profile just to give another thumbs down.

Lol everyone involved in this story should loose their job 😂

And their the ones who complain about kids these days spending to much time indoors on screens...

Truly sad that this secret box park was demolished. God forbid that in Eugene, OR, the local scumbag transients be inconvenienced by kids having fun and exercising during their oh so productive afternoons of sitting around drinking and shooting up.

Trails like that take year after year of building and maintenance, its always a shame when councils destroy them

way to ruin countless kids awsome childhood. Riding our hand build track was the best thing in my life as a kid. we worked hard and felt rewarded, for many of us it was the only light we had. please don't permote this. Instead of trying to make money off busting these kids, make money off making a stand to keep it for them.

Now do a follow up story on the same spot

She’s on Instagram @ emmawithrow Send all your messages there

She fr just ruined a spot for a 1:42 news story which wasn’t even a good one

She so proud of herself lol

Countless hours in the dirt digging, I spent alot of my bmx years growing up as a teenager getting massive air over these jumps. It was a really good track. It was the best track. It got destroyed because of your news story. Shitty...

Thanks bro so many memories here I remember my first bar spin and 180 were done here but at least we got wj

Why do the news always have to ruin stuff I hope it’s still there

What is wrong with these news people how are you proud of this

KARENS

My secret dirt jumps just got dozed

leave the locals alone!!! Years of labor is not worth a 30 second story. Shame on channel 9 you destroyed something loved by many. How does it feel!!!

Why break it down? Its something kids probably in the 70's or 80's built to have a good time. Some kids made cherished memories there while im sure people still go there and actively ride/repair it, just encouraging people to stay inside.

what a terrible story.

I used to ride across town just to ride these jumps with my friends and I heard story’s of them being there way before my generation thanks for ruining somthing great…

I started drugs because these were torn down, nothing to do. Well same story but in Tucson Az. Sold my bike after that. Felt like all my pride and joy was stripped when they dozed it!

Let the kids have fun I wish I had this in my backyard

anything for a fucking story right. hope these trails are still there.

Why destroy it? I bet so many kids had fun here

Who were they hurting? They obviously stayed respectful . They were doing something creative . Not vandalism, not stealing, not causing trouble. Just a get away where they could have a little fun. But you want to make them out to be the bad guys . Why ? What did they do to you? As soon as the city heard there was a place for riders to play and it wasn't hurting anyone , they destroy it! Just like they did in Springfield. (And it wasn't city property) but the city dozed it.

How sad, its all destroyed now. Was the story worth it?

thanks for destroying a good track

God damn, Karen. Way to fuck this up for all of the heads that put time into this trail.

Worse news story ever, shameful ugh. best luck to the news because humans are tired of what you feed us.

what the hell. I've seen other news videos like this but this is the worst I've seen. SHE SHOWS HOW TO GET TO IT! If its so secret then shut up about it and stop making the time and effort spent by the builders look like a mockery!

Now the kids are doing drugs cuase y’all took away the only escape. Way to go

Wow the news will try to kill anyone’s fun just to get views. Bad people

Emma please go find something better to do, a more productive story to cover. This is messed up

Imagine destroying the trails just to ruin peoples fun

So, trashing and camping the sides of the main roads is ok. But building trails is illegal?

How could you take away people's happiness for a news story? Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful

What a nosey reporter. I guess she can't find a real story to report on. She had to go and notify the city and now they're most likely to tear it down.

Report on something worth while. What a lame.

Way to destroy something positive

Society is so dead

What a narc

They just know dozed it. It was a good place

THANK YOU BRAVE REPORTERS......for exposing positive youth activity and right-of-passage The thought of Cross-addicted homeless transients having one less place to DEFECATE, TuRN-TRICKS, SMOKE/shoot METH &FENTENYL.... ....just the Thought of that replaced by kids enjoying nature and riding bicycles.....almost to much for me to bear

good job turning some nice dirt jumps into a druggie camp

Is there anything not illegal

This is a great example of something that by its long time unknown existence and not being a hindrance to anyone should be left the hell alone, illegal or not.

So interesting how this tv wants to make it a negative story! Everything they say and comment on is Positive about kids using the park, trail fairies maintaining the park.

Oh so were snitching now is that right emma withrow

Not a secret now :(

Let me make sure I understand. Lots of hard work went into this, People from kids to middle aged adults getting together for the love of riding, not doing drugs, drinking, or out causing problems and knowing that it was kept quiet for a reason. You decide to put it on the news. Just curious, how would you feel if you put your heart and soul into something positive (try moving just one truckload of dirt with a shovel. Youll get it)and someone comes along and puts it out in the public eye to be taken away.

Biggest snitch lol

i really hope those jumps are still there. It would be a shame to destroy someone’s hard work

Wow u guys should take a hint from this comment session

Hell nah ain't no way they destroyed that masterpiece

love how a bike park makes headline news when theres crime going on everywhere else. Now that park may get destroyed all because you wanted a story, your kid is probably the one who showed you and now your gonna take it away. great job

I loved these jumps ;’(

Take this off the internet

Thanks Emma

She's clueless about what she set in motion.

good job on getting it destroyed

Good job jerky! Mind your own! I have been building one for years and I would be devastated if this happened to my spot!

Aww.. seems this was a real a sleezy thing to focus on..gross..should left it alone..look at the stories of the people below!

Worst story ever.

"Been around for generations"?

There was a spot just like this near me in commerce that was just razed to the ground this past year. Incredible, the amount of work somebody put into that bmx track…it’d be a shame if channel 9 found out and ruined it

God forbid someone go out and ride their bike, ridiculous. Go expose something relevant…

I bet legends like Darell Young rode there. What a waste.

No response KEZI? Get a real life

This is sick

I bet that’s fucking gone now just like everything else

Wow way to go kezi thanks for ruining something positive. That’s all you’re good that though

How about we just let it be , it’s not hurting a damn thing and it’s giving them joy.

Talk about a non story

Why even post this...

Not so secret anymore rip

What a story. Leave us the F alone

I have a private park like this by me

Who brilliant idea was it to try to ruin a damn bike track? Way to go.

What a nark don’t tell about secret trails
