The helmet cam takes us to southwest Cleveland, specifically Ray's Indoor Bike Park, to...indoor mountain bike. I had heard other riders speak of the place so I had to give it a try. Carved out of an old warehouse with a mix of concrete and wood comprising the "trail", it was a funky experience. There were a few areas that were out of my riding expertise (or lack there of) and didn't want these youngsters on their BMX bikes to see an old man with a limb hanging so I watched from afar in those areas.
With Detroit's many warehouses collecting dust (hello Packard Plant), I would think the Motor City would embrace the concept with so many riders in and around the city. Idea guy helping out. No charge Mr. Mayor.
Attached are some views from the experience with a tumble from yours truly at around the 3:17 mark (lesson learned not to lollygag on turns/curves).
