We were there half of the day on Aug 16 and the entire day on the 17th. I'm trying to remember if camping is allowed, but I guess minors aren't supposed to ride without a guardian. . . Once racing starts back up at Mid-Ohio next year, I might do a road race/mountain bike weekend with some friends as the Knob is only an hour from Lexington.

Go live in Belgium , then you can complain. The closest bikepark to Antwerp ( where I live) is 350km's away from my place.
We dont have any nice indoor/outdoor parks cause they are build for skaters.
The longest downhill track is about 800meters and even they suck balls.
We dont have any elevators over here so its all walking/shutteling.

If you say your place sucks : Make a roadtrip in Belgium / Netherlands and THEN you can complain.
