Re: legit LOTS
I would pay but there would be no way that you could find insurance cheep enough to keep costs low if it were like a business. It could always be run like a skate park pay per time you go or for a year. Maybe it could work.
But if there were just some guy that owned a lot and said the only way me and my friend could ride on it I'd definitely do that if the money was right.

Re: legit LOTS
Annual membership plus daily usage is reasonable and for anyone that doesn't want to be harassed by the cops is the best option. I can see insurance being an issue however, if you maintain that your "business" is the concession stand outside or the bike parts on hand and "allow" people to ride there as a subscription to the organization then you could get away with liability waivers.
$365 for the year, $5 a session. May sound steep to some guys but your guaranteed a clean spot to ride, no tickets, no arrests.

Re: legit LOTS
think theres both positives and negative...
first with gas prices so high, i dont think many ppl will travel very far...
it would be very hard to seperate the squids from the riders that are good enough to ride together...it would be VERY hard just to tell people they cant ride if they are willing to pay, that would be my biggest concern...id be very weary of who was riding around me not knowing there skill level
would also think you would be a area that would be very very big, almost perfect pavement and areas big enough so decent approach stoppies/coasters,as well and an area big enough for riders wanting to practive staright line manuvers as well as thepopular circle pit...just kinda thinking abouts the was we kinda seperate our lot...but our lot is over 1/4mile long and about 200ft wide and it seems that every1 is always hudled together to show off to each other...
on another note if you had a good turnout you would have to limit the number of riders to a limited amount for a certain amount of time...and if riders that traveled had to be limited to how much they can ride after they paid i dont think they would be to thrilled
not tryin to rain on ur parade but i think there s shitload more to it than you would think...but if it wen down id def be down for a sessiononce in a while

Re: legit LOTS
well thing is jersey isnt the most notorious state for stunting but unfortunately this is where im at right now, and this is just a start, its more of a "help the sport venture than a business, bunch of non-pro org and what not. if establish stunters dont come im sure it will atleast inspire some squids to step there **** up. my homie asked me once "how the **** am i supposed to fucus on idle when i gotta look out for the boys all the time"

Re: legit LOTS
ppl are def gonna get hurt, thats why everyone signs a waiver of some sort, however getting hurt with 50 cats around beats getting hurt in a lot alone on private property then get a wreckless driving ticket to go along with it

Re: legit LOTS
from what i noticed the police doesnt care if your out in hidden parking lot so why not rent a warehouse and discreetly charge people to ride the lot. your in charge of the property so you can do what you like. its private property ran by you... cops let us ride as long as we have permission from the business

Re: legit LOTS
Must have miss the add for riding the streets for free 
Riding the streets comes with a payout to. Often much larger then this 5 dollars a day you speak of.
Id pay 5 dollars a day to ride a lot around here. Just to get rid of the chance of paying out large fines and loosing my license. With the fines you get a round here you can ride this 5 dollar lot for a couple of years worry free.
