Station Mountain is a downhill mountain bike park in the Austin, TX, area that was built by a teen entrepreneur and several investors. Now the investors are selling the 128 acres the park is on, and according to the owner, this was all part of the plan. Is this a good investment? I have no idea, but I'm here to check it out.

17 years old taking out a 3 million dollar loan...

@balthanonysen7001 13 дней назад

@@davekal Assuming they were using the correct terms in the video, having investors isn't the same thing as taking out loans. You're not on the hook for paying them back directly if the business flops. Instead you're giving up your profit. I'm guessing what happened here is that the investors bought completely undeveloped land plus some hardware like the tractors for like 500k - 1 million and let him develop it with a bunch of volunteer labor so they could sell the property at a significant profit with minimal work and money on their part.

@kneehats2311 13 дней назад

@@davekal no he is renting land to run a bike park and wants the new owner to be into a contract where they are forced to keep renting to him the land or even not pay any rent and keep the park on the new owners expense. also this is not really the Austin area its over an hour away, the population of marble falls is like under 10k. i know some people that are developers and are building a subdivision on the intersection of 281 and 71. they did not pay even close to 25k and acre for land in marble falls. so ill probably be an out of state buyer that will buy the land for a inflated price.

@davidc6032 13 дней назад

Central TX Hill country riding is terrific. The area is ancient geologically and there is tons of chunky, rocky tech to ride. One quirky and frustrating aspect to life in Texas is that virtually all the land in the state is privately owned (about 97%), so there is very little public lands for recreation. Anytime you can find private land that promotes outdoor activities, it's worth protecting.

@sportmedtech 13 дней назад

You most likely will need surgical repair if you continue to have subluxation/dislocations with an anterior and posterior inferior labrum tear especially since you are quite active and using your shoulders as much as you do while riding a bike. Your PCP and ortho will recommend PT first and hopefully you regain enough strength and stability so that surgery is not required but I work with athletes daily and it is not uncommon to have to get it repaired. Love your videos but please don’t ignore this injury

I'm a local and will say the place is def sketchy in that safety protocols are often ignored, such as marking big gap jumps, etc. Also, you can't count on the shuttles to all be operating either. We paid a lot of money and in 2.5 hrs, got in 2 runs bc there was only 1 operating shuttle bc people didn't show up to work we were told. The owner, was off riding elsewhere as opposed to driving the shuttle that we paid to ride. Oh well. I certainly wouldn't return unless it got overhauled and ran properly. Sad to say it didn't live up to the hype and we ride Spider Mountain (15 mins away and lift served) instead.

Ski lifts are up in the air because snow can be various depths. For a bike park it makes far more sense to have a T-bar lift, where there's a bar hanging from a cable which you hold against your handlebar and get pulled up the hill on your wheels. There's basically no danger and probably no inspections required. In Australia we have a few places where there's one of those that does a flat rectangle circuit over a dam at high speed, so you put on a wakeboard or waterskis and get towed around on fully electric grid power with no exhaust fumes from a ski boat.

@jonpevehouse 11 дней назад

The place Seth mentions is not a ski area; we don't have any of those in Central TX. The lift is specifically for Mt. Biking.

The early part where you jump off a container reminds me of a time as a pre teen/teenwhere I was dumb. A friend of mine who was also into bmx and dirt bikes like me, his dad owned a commercial transmission shop. Doing big rig and bus transmissions. Well, he had some old school buses in his yard. The old kind with the engine in the front. We put 2x4’s and plywood from the top of the hood to the ground. Then we rode on the roof of the bus and jumped the gap from the end of the roof/window to the front of the hood where the plywood was. But of course we were not exact and the 2x4’s stuck up past the plywood to impale us. And the plywood was not secured to anything so sometimes it would slip down when we landed. Yeah…….fun times though.
