everything was looking great for the kids, and then the insurance company said, oh hell no, no fun will happen here

Jerry MacLean began building the track in Glen Valley a few weeks ago for some boys who had asked him for a place to ride. He had the boys helping him, those that wanted a place to ride their dirt bikes, and he built it with plenty of tight turns so the kids couldn't build up much speed, and he set up a couple rules for additional safety. No riding shoulder to shoulder, just one at a time, and only after getting their parents consent in writing.

Parents signed consent forms, and the track had barely opened before MacLean hit a road block.

He was told this insurance company, PEI Mutual, couldn't offer him a policy for the route. He said they told him if he went with another company, his house insurance would have to be cancelled.
