PARMA -- The BMX biking site is located on the fringe of the Camp Corde' property owned by the Catholic Church in Parma, Ohio. The construction of the intricate series of ramps made of clay has taken thousands of hours with all of that labor done by hand. The architects for the project were all teenagers. The entire project is about to wiped out.

Adam Mentkowski, a BMX biker from Bay Village, sat at the top of the hill and looked down at his friends zooming across the paths as they launched into the air.

"I go to work, I go to college, and then I come here every day. This is my life," Mentkowski said. "If they tear this place down, I don't really have anywhere to go. We have put so much work into this, it's amazing."

The half dozen BMX riders on the trails today are part of a growing nationwide movement. In fact, the highly publicized gravity games on NBC Sports featured several riders who have used the remote Parma location.

Last month, 52-year-old Chevonne Ecclestone was murdered near the remote bike paths. Her accused killer, 39-year-old Todd Torok, had reportedly accosted her in the nearby Metroparks and forced her to drive to the bike trails where she was beaten to death.

A few days after the brutal attack, one of the BMX bikers received a letter from the Parma Police warning that the "property owner will be dismantling the ramps at the request of the Parma Police Department."

"This doesn't make sense. You would think they would want us out here using this property, Roberto Andujar, a BMX enthusiast, said. "There is so much woods and nobody really patrols that ground.

"We have park rangers asking us what's going on, people from the nearby Parmadale complex asking us what's going on. If we had been here, that woman wouldn't have been killed."

Veteran BMX rider Phil Cepis said, "We haven't done anything wrong. I am going to keep coming down here until the ramps are gone. Yeah, they are going to have to arrest me."

On Monday afternoon, three squad cars from the Parma Police Department moved into position near the property after receiving a complaint from Catholic Diocese.

While sympathetic to the hard work that created the BMX trail and ramps, city officials are concerned about the potential for injury and lawsuits.

"This is a remote area. I would hate to think that somebody could be out here and bleed to death or have some other serious injury and nobody would know about it," Detective Marty Compton said.

The Catholic Church hired a survey crew Monday to make sure the BMX ramps and trails were on private property. No trespassing signs will be posted and enforced. The impressive leaps by the BMX bikers may defy gravity, but they may soon defy the law as well.
