Ok heres the deal. You dont need to buy wood, or foam. The only thing you need to buy is, believe it or not, a pool! Go to any big store, Canadian tire, Wal-mart, Costco, etc... And find a pool with about a 15' diameter and 4' deep. If you dont want to do that, go on ebay and find one without a water pump for cheaper (there only like $300 on sale). Next, get to work and start advertising. Put up posters asking for people to give you their unwanted furniture and take the foam from the cushions, it works just as well. If you still want the high quality foam pit foam for a cheaper price, you can go to your local gymnastics facility and ask them if you can buy their old foam (if they have any). Another thing you can do to get foam if you need a little extra is while your buying the pool, just buy some sponges! Easy as that. Fill up the pool and your good to go. Oh ya and if you want it outside, put it in an open area with trees surrounding so you can stretch a tarp out at the top of the trees. Let me know what you guys think.
A 4ft. pool is like asking for disaster. You do realze that most if not all safe foam pits are filled with maybe 6ft. of foam and then theres a trampoline underneath them...
4ft. of foam would compress like warm butter and do hardly anything.
better idea- get some of those big wooden fence posts (8' or 9') and dig them 3' into the ground, grab some chicken wire fencing stuff and wrap it around and you're set. Cheaper than a $300 pool which will fill up with water
i think it sounds like a good idea. and so what if its 4 feet deep. just don't land dumb! simple as that. 4 feet of foam would save any normal person with half a brain from getting too hurt. besides, where is the fun in mountain biking is no ones getting hurt?!?!?!

but you could cut holes in the bottom to drain the pool...

it'll still cost a hell of a lot more to get a pool where its not really that necessary IMO
i might try that do u trust it enogh that u would do a backflip into it and land on ur head?
no, but i believe that if you are even remotely intelligent than your body will know how to land and believe me, it wont be on your head. i think its a lot harder to land on your head than some morons let on.
