Mullaly Ramp Park
Mullaly Ramp Park was created in May 1989 and was the only ramp park available to BMX Freestyle bike riders in the five boroughs for almost ten years. As the first-of-its-kind public ramp facility in New York City, most BMX Freestyle pros, from X Games gold medallists Dave Mirra, Allan Cooke, and TJ Lavin, to veterans Dennis McCoy and Ron Wilkerson have experienced Mullaly in some way, shape, or form throughout its 17-year existence. Free to the public, Mullaly Ramp Park has been kept alive by the passion of the BMX and local communities, their supporters in The New York City Parks and Recreation Department, and the generous donations of corporate and other contributors and sponsors.
sponsors are:
scion, city of new york, home depot, woodward, diamond back, alpine stars, tri flow, maxxis, freecycle, hofman bikes, animal bikes, bulldog bikes, s&m bikes, fit bike co, brooklyn machine works, childrens tumor foundationColin V with the Expert class win.
