    You make a point.

    I don't know if anyone has said this already, but isn't there some type of law that exempts businesses from liability or legal action based on the type of activity? I remember reading about it in my law course.
    Businesses like Skydyiving have a high degree of risk and the participant signs off any liability of injury or death on the business.

    I really want to buy Downsview Airport and turn it into a public-access racetrack. The only problem may be noise constraints on the people of the neighborhoods adjacent to it. That, and the cost of land at Downsview. What's a good alternative? North of Oakville in the sticks? I would do it there, too, it would work just the same, though noise limits in the Buttholeship of Caledon might again be a problem.

    Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

    I think it has nothing to do with any constitution or law, but moreso a statement of the people therein, itself.

    You can't sign your rights away. Track day organizers have been shut down because of law suits.

    Re: Why is stunting so weak in the GTA?

    It just seems like almost all of the riders+ people here in the GTA are posers. Last season I had a bunch of PM's from people who were asking to come out and ride at our spot:

    "hey bro, I really want to come lean to stunt. My bike is setup and I am dedicated to learn and respect the rules... etc..."

    So on days that I was going out to ride by myself , which happens sometimes because I work shifts, I messaged some of the people that PM'd me to come ride. I just said that they need to have a cage and not bring a huge amount of people with them.

    None of the people that messaged me saying they wanted to come ride ever showed up!

    I was gonna say, I'd get myself a dirtbike as well if it was that easy but that sounds like a great way to get hassled and arrested.
