Info below from Change.org

Pete Wilson lives on a farm in Nyora in Victoria. He is a pro golfer who built a mega ramp on his farm for his kids, and also for Australian kids to train on for events such as the X Games. The mega ramp in Nyora is the only Megaramp in the southern hemisphere, and one of three in the world.

In 2014 the first Australian landed the 900 there, Tas Pappas. Local kids from Nyora, and around Melbourne love the mega ramp. It is a healthy way to express creativity on a skateboard or BMX.

The ramp is used occasionally, and is not excessively noisy, or disruptive. It is not close to any neighbours. It is most definitly not for public use.There is only a select group of people who can ride it, and it cannot be ridden outside of daylight hours.

In 2015 the council have given a permit for the mega ramp to exist on Petes property. There is now a person who is lodging a complaint to VCAT.

I wish to give my support to the Megaranch and its Megaramp. I support the permit given to Pete Wilson for his Megaramp.

That sucks. If it's not close to any neighbours then why would someone want to complain about it? Signed and shared.

There are some dick wipes in this world I tell ya.

I can't imagine the thing getting skated everyday anyway so the "noise" must be pretty minimal..

Can't say that this is going to give anyone the incentive to sign a petition: "It is most definitly not for public use.There is only a select group of people who can ride it"

But it has over 2000 signatures so far.? I once signed a petition to save the African black Rhino. I had no intention of going to Africa to hang out it but I still signed it.

Yeah that I would be a part of, as without it they'll become extinct. Maybe I don't care as much about the extinction of super crusty vert demons. Maybe, just maybe I am just mean as all hell.

You're a cold hearted arse hole Mr Ketchy. I like that.

Cold hearted for sure. I want to see pictures of the #SuperCrustyVertDemons crying into their beards as someone forcefully removes their #SuperMegaOlympicStandardTrainingFacility
