I want to build my own foam pit any ideas where to get the foam they use? That or maybe we will have to learn backflips into snow banks!

 

look in the phone book under foam. there is a place near me that all they do is sell foam. or check local gymnastic places and ask them where they get their foam

 

**** is expensive

 

I heard it cost a dollar for each square foot.... I don't know how many you need but it will cost a lot..

 

I heard its like a$1.50 per block and you need something like 2,000 of em....

 

diY FOAM PIT....

(1) BACKHOE/BULLDOZER
(2) WAREHOUSE/SHIPPING/RECIEVING
(3) CALL THEM AND ASK FOR SCRAP PACKING FOAM
- STYRAFOAM, FOAM RUBBER, PACKING PEANUTS, BUBBLEWRAP, EGGCRATE, CARDBOARD BOXES
(4) THROW ALL THAT sH*T IN THE BIG HOLE YOU JUST DUG WITH YOUR BACKHOE
(5) CREATE A LAUNCH RAMP
(6 ) BREAK YO SELF FOOL!

 

lol find like alot of busses ad rip apart the seats

 

find some old sofas

 

most furniture stores remove old couches when you buy anew one if they deliver they probably just throw them away and carpet stores always take the old padding under the carpet but i think that stuff is reallllllly flamible

 

foam is easy to come by, if you're up for scavenging local stores and ****,...then jus build a ramp and a big box for hte foam

 

aloooooooooooooooot of foam

 

fill a quarter of it with tyres them put chicken wire over them and then put foam on the top

 

lots of pillows!

 

get a neck brace while ur at it too lol

 

Most pits use furniture foam. And yes it is hella expensive!

Foam Pit Fire at Metzger's

Who said that flipping into foam pits was safe? Garth Milan just phoned in to let us in on some breaking news...

While out at Mike Metzger's house today, a Japanese rider was making use of Mike's foam pit to work on his back flips. Unfortunately he crashed, and while still laying in the pit, his bike was leaking gas a considerable amount of gas, and…well, you can probably guess the rest. Garth said that in short order, someone noticed smoke, and shortly after that the foam pit was fully engulfed in flames that were running 200-300 feet high. The resulting mushroom cloud could be seen for miles around.

The bad news was that there weren't any fire extinguishers around, which might have helped them avoid the situation before it got out of control. The good news is, the rider was extracted before the fire got too serious, and it didn't appear any other structures were threatened.

 

I remember reading about that, that japanese guy came all the way to the US with his only dirtbike and loses it in that fire.....That had to suck.






Good luck ever getting home owner insurance with a foam pit
