He invested his life savings of $50,000 and also used a $25,000 loan to fund startup costs.[2] A Milwaukee location opened December 31, 2010, largely due to funding by Trek.[1] It closed in 2016. Business modelThe {{convert|92000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} park only operates during the colder half of the year. Whereas indoor skate parks have existed for skateboarding and BMX, and there are examples of indoor dirt jumps, this is the first facility that aims to provide a whole spectrum of mountain bike terrain and disciplines. It is aimed both to improve skills and introduce riders to new disciplines in a safer environment as well as providing riding facilities during the winter. It is unique in that different riding styles are found in proximity to each other. Its initial success has attracted interest from the industry with companies keen to sponsor new areas and events. Having proven to the industry that this format works, it may act as a template by which other examples may follow around the world. The Milwaukee location opened December 31, 2010, largely due to funding by Trek.[1] It closed in 2016. RoomsEvery year, Ray's revamps its trails.
