Steve said the Steel City Downhill track, in Grenoside woods, was partly destroyed by vandals over the last weekend.

The trails were built using money raised from the annual Steel City Downhill fundraising race.

This track is enjoyed by a huge range of people from kids to pensioners and has been built on charity money from our little race.

“I’m fuming and just don’t understand the mentality.”

Pictures on Steve’s Facebook reveal the destruction of the trail surface on multiple berms and jumps.

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
