It should be longer tracks available with a variety of bumps • Improvements need to be made to the ground of the track as it will get dangerous when it rains meaning it will be mucky and slippy. We need new equipment for classes such a text books etc • Too easy • EPIC!!! AWESOME!!! Chuck Norris like!!! • I think it is a waste of money which could be spent on planting more trees.
