Save the mountain bike jumps at Dartford Heath
to express concern over the repeated removal or destruction of the local mountain bike jumps in Dartford Heath. The jumps are not only a recreational feature but an important part of our community’s mental health, especially for young people and those who benefit from outdoor active lifestyles.
Mountain biking provides a safe and healthy outlet for physical activity, creativity, and social connection. For many of us, the ability to ride and improve our skills in a natural environment is more than a hobby—it’s a crucial part of managing stress, anxiety, and overall mental health. These jumps are built by riders who take pride in their maintenance and use them respectfully and responsibly.
