Good luck keeping it safe! Who is going to agree to manage that operation? Seems like a recipe for going out of business / lawsuits

Dirt bike courses exist already and this isn't an issue

Yeah for ppl that bring their bikes there on a trailer, not minors driving them on the street without license & without license plates. And not located in areas of high violent crime & lawlessness. Who is gonna work at these places and how are ppl going to pay to get in and how are the employees going to be kept safe in an area loaded with guns, hard drugs, and general lawlessness / lack of respect for human life. Ppl put bullets into each others’ heads multiple times per week in this part of the world over trivial stuff, are they gonna wear helmets and respect safety rules and not bring guns/drugs? Literally problematic at like every possible decision idk how anyone thinks this is an executable idea

That’s why liability waivers our thing

Can have 1,000,000 waivers per participant but they can still sue, and would need to go to court with a lawyer. Also no insurance company is going to work with them, or only offer skyhigh rates. It is a seemingly good idea on surface level but even a tiny exploration of its general execution leads to very obvious problems

People are always going to try and get over whenever they think they can get away with it, but, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen or that it can’t be done

Practically anything can be done with enough resources thrown at it but that doesn’t mean that it should be done. Simply being possible does not automatically make it a good idea

Being as it’s been done before in other places (Cleveland and been talked about doing something similar in others, it’s worth the trying. Clearly it’s a good idea.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

You don’t ride obviously. Dirt biking legally at parks is a hobby id have trouble affording at my salary. It’s close to owning a small boat
