Ride really fast straight at it, don’t hit the brakes until your inside, this is called self clearancing.

turn the entire wall int oa garage door, using a hydrulic power pack and some hydrulic actuators, you could use air actuators and that would give you and excellent reason to get that air compressor you always wanted for impact gun, air ratcher and paint gun. and it wouldnt effect your OL's fancy door LOL
