Our third floor is largely vacant at work and I have built a couple of small jumps using a steel bookcase, a folding table, a piece of plywood, and a toner cartridge. I leave my old Bridgestone MB3 Comp there, and when it's break time I entertain the second floor tenants with various thumps and bangs.

Anybody else have their own indoor riding space?

Lol. Have any pics of this? Sounds interesting.

why the toner cartridge?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

The toner cartridge is a four or five inch diameter cylinder and serves to elevate one end of a short piece of plywood to make a silly little ramp.

any pics? how tall is the ceiling on the 3rd floor?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

No pictures at present. I would guess that it's an eight foot cieling - ordinary office space - but I haven't measured it. We're not talking hero moves here.

Another reason I want a big loft, with concerte floors... Not only could you rebuild motors in the living room... you can ride all over.

Atlanta has a lot of old Industrial buildings/warehouse that are now goin being turned into high end lofts... way too much $$

A friend of my brothers had his house built with a 3 car garage and a lift.

Denver is the same way as far as turning industrial space into lofts.

Based on my history, I probably shouldn't be jumping anyplace, but I am determined either to learn or to die.

I ride in my basement all the time. I head down there to do laundry or something and grab a bike and ride around. I have an old couch that I try to ride up on, usually just the front wheel. Other times I just play around attempting to hop on the rear wheel or do stoppies. Ive stopped trying bunny hops after getting good enough to actually hit my head on the ceiling.
