Local stunt team made a spot aprox 20 ft wide maybe 125 to 150 ft long with a 50 to 60 ft circle at one end . alot of people pitched in with equipment to level and prep thhe area . base and aprox 4 in asphalt looks like 2in corse 2in fine cost alittle over $18K. that was materials only at the begining this past spring.. Hope this helps..

Re: building a private spot
imo...this is the closest to reality yet... only problem is....in imo...THAT's even too small of a lot... I think the lot needs to be 300 or 400 x 100 at least .... and I'd figure $50,000 to put in something decent like that. It wont be long and we'll have a spot like this in TN :YEAH

Re: building a private spot
I'd tell you where it is, BUT its not a spot to bring your bike out to and learn how to 12 at. There have been a few nasty collisions out there between guys doing power wheelies running into OG's.

Re: building a private spot
Get a group together and start a "business" like an LLC or whatever, where everyone is joint owner, then use the business to start the lease for the building. That way if **** goes down the business can claim bankruptcy and won't really hurt you individually.
No matter what you do or how you do it, make sure there's a **** load of insurance in case anything happens. And sign waivers every time you or someone else rides there.

Re: building a private spot
In colorado we went to the airport and found a couple rich airplane owners who rent hangers on the taxiway. They usually take their planes somewhere warm during the winter so they dont have to winterize them. We sign a waiver and offer to help out with rent during the winter months (this time its just me doin the chippin in but i told em i'd give em $150 per month) they pull their plane out and now I have an indoor sound proof practice spot with permission. Pretty cool if you can find someone and it only costs me about $450 for the whole winter.
