[jimmy 2006]

from small to massive, that place has everything.

scott, does he still have the foam pit?

[scott411]

he never had a foam pit,

Nick Franklin has one in tokoroa, and Luke SMith has one in Kaukapakapa, thats the only ones i know of,

[cheese]

If you want to make a foam pit I'll talk to my dad about some foam. He has alot!

There's a new place with a foam pit halfway between Invercargill and Dunedin, I believe. Somewhere in the Catlins?
It's a private place, owned by one of the ex-crusty demons. He's going to do open days and instruction once it's finished. I can't remember any more, may be wrong in fact.

Damn that's bananas Scott!

hmmmm. Wonder if my 125 can do that!? If I new how fast to go I would maybe try it. Would be cool to have some massive air photos :)

Then again I might chicken out haha

[Pierce]

I think this iss the spot featured in this month's dirt rider downunder. All natural terain FMX park. Haha I'll stick to the mini doubles at kimmy's for now haha. And I'd be whipping the finish line jump at the Tokoroa track before I start tryin shit like that :-s

travis pastrana used 1 million pieces of foam in his pit. at $1 each........

[CRF119]

To hit that step up on a 125 id say you would be fourth pinned or mid 5th we had a huge step up on one of our setups and thats what i hit it in. i think it was around 100-130 foot had a ramp curve carved into the dirt at the bottom of a hill.

Foam can be had for free from bedding places around the country just off cuts etc. The hard part is transporting it.

I would love to ride there

Serious?

Wouldn't surprise me.

A bit steep, from this article about 120k for the pit, all up though he has spent $1m NZD roughly, no matter which way you cut it, it's alot of coin.

[scott411]

i heard NIck Franklin spent 25K on foam for his pit, plus extra for all the other stuff, its not a cheap thing to do,

[cheese]

Well he has alot of foam. However I think you wouldn't need a pit as big as Travis's.

[F5 Dave]

. .. However I think you wouldn't need a pit as big as Travis's.

depends on how accurately you plan on landing.

Maybe 4 mates running around with a stretcher trying to catch?

[telliman]

the guy in the second photo looks pretty lonely!!!

[Buddy L]

Luke Smiths foam pit in Kaukapakapa, is massive, you line up near it at the start of the Ken Fells Mx races
