Fire off an email or phone call first...Find out who you can speak to who has the authorization to permit you to be on their property for starters. Arrange a meeting jus' like you would for an interview. No attitude if they say no. Tell them you are an up and coming athlete and that you need a safe environment to practice. One of the bonuses of having you around after hours is extra security free of charge, not to mention that you would be happy to thank them with an ad on your website or in your newest video giving them free advertising! If you manage to find company owners or personnel to agree be sure to keep the spot to yourself and a couple close friends, if all of a sudden you have 40+ guys showing up with trailers and such the business may have a change of heart! Also, if they have good concrete or asphalt try not to dig it up with your scrape bars and bring clean up materials, if you spill bike blood everywhere it's in your best interest to clean it up. I have had two businesses allow me to use their lots, myself and four buddies have been rocking for 2 full seasons with no trouble...As much as I would like to invite more guys out I don't dare cuz' I don't wanna' ruin a good thing! Finally if you do get permission, be sure to always have the name and number of someone handy in the company...If po-po show up and you simply say so and so from here is ok with this, they can just f*ck off and hit the donut shop...Rock on
