Re: Please Sign Here

I have had similar ideas, because it seems like people need a place to get all kinds of crazy. I have a few hundred undeveloped acres in Missouri. I've never been there but I've been told it's a shithole Anyhow, in Missouri if you own the property you can build whatever the hell you want. I don't know what liabilities may come, but if I make enough money to not care if I pull a profit, I'll pour concrete and dig up some good dirt jumps and make a full on stunt park, for stunters, FMX, skaters, BMX etc. Like disneyland for crazy people.

It's probably a pipe dream, but it keeps me from dreaming about something stupid.

Stunting bikes in an enclosed area would present ventilation issues. Is this rink enclosed?

I'd pay $40 a day

Would there be someone checking bike insurance or could that just be another box to check on the waiver? so we could potentially lie about it and the proprietor wouldnt get in trouble

I'd say injury/health insurance would be the biggest thing to make sure people have, and liability waivers for bikes and property damage.

like i said this is in beginig stages, lots of kinks to work out


I think you should follow suit by trying to run it just as MX Parks and tracks. Keep the same fees and same rules or similar.....They have been working for years and function fine. So dont re-invent the wheel just use another MX parks Idea.......and taylor it to sport bikes.

Re: Please Sign Here

I reckon it's a great idea!

I have nowhere legal to ride here, but my buddy organises a skid pan for us to use roughly once every 2 months for a stuntday.The money issue seems to sort out the guys that CALL themselves "stunters: and the guys that actually really want to RIDE.
We don't need insurance , that is covered in the cost of the day.You are talking of charging US$50 (approx $65 Australian ) , we pay AU $130 ( approx $100 US ) .While it is too much to expect anyone to pay that every weekend , if you LOVE riding you will manage to scrape some money together.

Re: Please Sign Here

an indoor spot would be sweet , but everyone"s right most of us are broke bro , but for the right price and u kick the insurance thing im sure ull have some riders come in there if u get it up and running , i know in most areas its hard to find a parking lot to get permission to stunt at its one of the things me and my crew are dealing with right now

the purpose of this venture will be to give you guys a place to practice and perform shows.

lawyers are looking into liability risks, we will REQUIRE every enthusiast to sign a waiver omiting us 100% if you get injured, total your bike or even death.

so it will be ride at your own risk.

i have the finacial backing to make this happen

i just await my lawyer to give me green light to begin my contractor to begin paving using a tennis court type asphault to lessen injuries if you crash or fall.

brief high lights

1. you can get a day pass for 55.00 to ride 9am-12 midnight.
2. group/team discounts of 5 or more riders get a day pass for 45.00 each
3. you can get a week's pass for 275.00
4. you will get a laminated pass with your name and bike model
your bike doesnt need to be registered just insured.


rules NO BURNOUTS whats so ever, you do one and you will never be permitted to enter facility ever again.


so who would be interested in coming to the facility if i get green light?

Hey BMW....good Idea.....needs tweaked a little though....I've been brain storming and test bedding Ideas like this for about 10 years now. Currently in planning stages for a motorsports park (that will be "stunter friendly"....of course :YEAH )
My is that the skating rink is way too small for most stunting and would be better suited for ....roller hockey, RC car racing (and hobby shop)and practice etc... indoor skate park/bmx bike park(and shop)....and I could go on ....but im sure you see my point. ) I think for stunting motorcycles....a minimum of a huge, long flat piece of pavement needs to be a requirement....and then ....the wider the better from there.
I think it's GREAT though ....That you've only been around stuntin for such a short while and You want to invest so much into it ! Props man and I hope you get something good going .

You were dreaming about extreme acres ....my farm for the past 10 years... All kinds of crazy **** has gone down here .... hundreds have ridden and driven a full array of vehicles throughout this 60 acres....guys have jumped over 130 feet distance on dirtbikes...Cars have been rolled over ....cars have been jumped...cars have been totalled... home made rockets (10 feet tall...with home made engines the size of a coffee can (basically a bomb in my eyes) have been launched and Exploded like Dynamite about 200 feet off the ground !!! ........ crazy **** I tell ya' Supercross pros have practiced here ......world class gopedders (well one of them ...hehe ) Ambulance has only had to come out one time in 10 years....pretty damn good....I think about 6 to 8 injuries that required a trip to the hosp. ..... All in all it's been a great 10 years....but it's time to move on ....And while this whole place was dirt based tracks (MX tracks, Dirt oval, a couple miles of trails in the woods and hillclimbs,and a 300 foot long asphalt driveway with an oval)..... The next facility is going to be asphalt based .... More expensive to initially develope, but will have better revenue potential, And require less maintenance (Dirt tracks require constant maintenance).
I'm terribly sorry this got so long....but to me , it's a fascinating subject.
