Street

Whats YOUR Favorite Street Obstacle, be it banks, ledges, rails, wallrides etc etc

personally, my favorite obstacle is a nice bank with a nice transition. especially if there is something to stall on at the top, or even a flyout.

what is your favorite obstacle and why?

[Cooch]

Wallrides!

I like to go high and as verticle as possible. It feels cool to be so way up high, to look down and go "oh shit - I'm farkin high, better pull it off" :D Usually accompanied by high speed and concentration!

[Svenn]

hehe, you sound confident :D can i see some pictures :) no beef, just wanna see how high and vert you can go :) probably more than me

a bank.
with maybe a hip or a something to jump onto to stall on.

[Svenn]

yeah, banks are the best, footjam, abaubacas, fufanus, tyre taps if theres a deck, walltaps if a wall sits behind it, sprocket stalls if their is a ledge behind it, pedal stalls with a ledge behind it, 180s, alley oops, 360 fakies, vader jams, front jams, footjam whips, 180 tyre grabs, 180 barspin, b'spin to fakie, hop footjam one hander....etc etc



the possibilities are endless

where as on a wallride, the only stuff to do it go higher and get faster, on a curved wall its possible to 180 or even 360 out of it if you are skilled enough, walrides are fun, but after a few clicks of the camera they start to get tiresome

Pedestrians:eek:

[darsh]

sorry, double post

[deaks]

banks and wallrides!

[Svenn]

what do you guys think about a nice smooth ledge to pedal/sprocket/dropout grind? i like em, but they kill my odyssey pc's pretty quickly

[DJninja]

I like anything I can hop.

[Callan.]

Ledges are the best, nice long ones.

Manuals, 180s, 360's(still working on these...), barspins.....etc.

yay for street.

[Dreamah]

Banks are always fun.. Never really get boring always something to try,
Got to say a good ledge isnt to bad hop to manuals then 180 off..

I love wallrides though havent been ridding street for more then a month but I would like to find a decent spot to pull some off or at least give it one hell of a shot!!

Oh And Tree stalls, or what ever they are called, we found the best tree with a nice sort of bank just around the tree so I was trying to pull of a few of them. I think i was hitting the tree to fast and trying to get to high up (Crawl before walk heyy) But I got a few..

[Svenn]

yeah hoppin stuff is fun, i dont like long ledges, i cant manual if my life depended on it so i only like nice stubby ledges :p yeah, nice tree rides are really funny, especialling fakie to halfcabbing out, looks pretty stylish if you pull it high and smooth, but a lot of the time, its very akward unless you man-make a transition, parking blocks are really fun to nose bonk and abubaca, theres a really fun one near my house at the school, its a parking block to ditch/half pipe sorta thing to another block, so its real fun for stalls.

and the jem of street spots, stormwater drains! nobody around, great for stalls and virtually anything, have a look at what some of the bmxers in adelaide have done to some drains down at regency, the transition is rough for an mtb but great fun none the less

this place a spine, bank to flyout on and a nice little extension

I really like banks they a good fun, and ledges that you can hop onto and manual are pretty fun to.

[soty]

Maybe change the thread title to "Favourite street obstacles"..

I don't really have a favourite, but i enjoy when there's a line.. eg stairs to bank to ledge to loop the loop.

[bitterbro]

Definately a bank with a hip. Endless possibilities. If my skill level would allow me to, i'de definately 360 tire-tab to 180 followed by a barspin half-cab out. Or 270 tailwhip to manual. Man i wish i was good

[rider 55]

i love it.
or a big bank when you can foot-plant on the top.
thats the best.

[shred]

hmmm i dont mind some islands and stuff to 180 off and stuff, and stuff to hop to manuel, but my favorite at the moment would probably be this big bank thing. you can do some much stuff out of it just gotta think of em

[DHfreeride4life]

i like hopping onto stuff and just mucking around on the streets
