Here's some pics of our bmx foam pit that's in the progress of being built. AKA The sh** pit. Everything has been free some far so we are are under 10 bucks. The high jump mats are the only thing we are going to have to pay for. Yes I know it could be the world's worst foam pit. Thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

Looks okay for BMX, but I'm not sure I'd trust it for quads. Not quite deep enough.

no one has died from it yet. and i dont think there has been any serious accidents. my friend did destroy his frame going for a backflip. (bike landed upside down on the rail and kinked the top tube).

i think it would be more safe if you put some 2x4's in there with rusty nails sticking halfway out, and some aggressive deadly/venemous animals :cool:

Got the other wall built and lined it with plastic. Just needs a tarp for over top and we can start putting foam in.:D
