9th Street BMX - The National Trails of Texas

For
the past 25 years, the South side of Duncan Park has been used as a BMX bicycle Jumping/Trail
spot. It has been hand built by the local riders with very minimal involvement from
the City of Austin and absolutely zero compensation. This is the official website of
the 9th Street Locals.
9th Street; as it is called by the locals, is an ongoing community cooperative work
project. A completely self organized and self directed movement. Non-profit and non-discriminatory.
An internationally recognized BMX monument.
Who We Are
9th Street has helped shape Austin into the BMX mecca it is today. It has a very positive
financial and economic impact on the local community. Created from free labor by good
samaritans. 9th Street creates a unique, hand-built, BMX paradise for all ages to enjoy.
Keeping Austin Weird.
The 9th Street Locals have moved thousands of tons of earth, shovel by shovel. 25 years
ago the park was flat ground. Now it is dotted with hundreds of dirt mounds sculpted
to perfect form. Countless hard working people call 9th Street home. It has been built
with pride and back breaking manual labor.
As an unicorporated non-profit organization known as; "9th Street BMX", we work with
the City of Austin and the Austin Parks Foundation.org to the benefit of the park. If
you get a chance to visit, please take a moment watch how things work. Be friendly,
talk to a local rider. Please pick up your trash and have fun.
