Whats So Bad About Street?

[Tom Cirbee]

i dont know dude, i think its all about your creativity and desier. i live in sarasota florida and cant drive, everyone where i live says we have the worst street in florida, but honestly ive personally made about 30 spot in the last year and all i ride is the street here now, if you have the skill and the creativity good street is just waiting to be found, but i ride the park at least one day a week but in my opinion, all park feels the same, smooth metal coping, pefrect slants and easy tricks, but is still fun no doubt and is great for getting all your tricks dialed and to learn new ones but yea street is an adventure, a challenge, and is the one place i can relax without any pressure, riding street by myself has to be my favorite feeling in the world without a doubt i dont know if anyone else like solo street riding but for me its so relaxing and comfortable you have all the time in the world to try a trick with no side distractions or talking, its like the spots, the nature, and my scooter all intertwin and work together, and theres no crowd of friends saying lets go here or this is boring blah blah blah, its so peacful and quite you have complete focus and when you see like the weirdest things you can just go directly to them and make your own decisions with no filmer and no pressure and with park i dont even have close to the same feeling, but parks fun as hell to with friends and learning new stuff but yea thats my feel on that, Michael Hohmann

Anyone else notice that the bolded writing is one whole sentence? Hahahaha wat.

Nah but really. This makes a whole lot of sense.

Riding street is an entirely different concept as to riding a skatepark.
They are both awesome but just different and I think the scooter community doesnt quite understand that they are both good and different. They think there needs to be one or the other which is not and will never be true.

Riding street is 100% creativity. you have to ride things that arent mean to be ridden. Some spots are perfect for some tricks and that makes a great looking clip. I would rather spend hours getting a trick a few times a week and take a year or two on a video part that I am working hard for then go to the skatepark and film multiple tricks in a day.

They are just entirely different. When you ride street you dont have your parents there sitting in the parking lot or anybody watching you ride, you dont have the security of knowing that you can try a trick as long as you want, you dont have perfect ground at every spot, you dont have stupid pads on making you look like an idiot and its complete freedom. You get to experience cities in a way that can't be experienced to a normal person. Riding street is a way to experience and view the world through a different set of eyes and its completely irreplaceable. You should try it sometime.

god, this is such a beautiful post

Hand rails are easy they just take nuts.

And if you don't commit you lose those nuts...

 

[LeahcimNietsluw12]

Everyone knows people who ride street can't ride park, so they move on to street. So quit trying to sugar coat the facts. Funny thing is the best park riders will kill any street rider. All you had to do was watch Matt McKeen make a fool of himself at last years SD6, look up the video. Facts suck I know, but sometimes reality sucks!

 

[MartinRowlands]

^ Not always true, I know a lot of street riders who kill it at park aswell but they prefer street because it's a lot more creative. Also not everyone has a good local park (like me) so street is a much better option.

You can't base your opinion about an entire group of riders off of one persons performance 10 months ago. I know plenty of park riders that shred the streets. Vincent Kudrna for example. He rarely rides street but when he gets out there he kills it.

Your a fucking idiot, that's like saying "Everyone knows all the musicians who can't play rock move on too rap"
it's two different styles, nothing comparable about the 2 except for the fact that they're both riding and share tricks.
Edit: plus since you've been on all I've seen you do is try too call people out and stuff and it usually just fails, cut it with that shit dude.

this right here is amazing. Very well put.

One of the reasons I ride street is that its not a competition, and that is something park riders usually don't pick up on. Its so much more fun with street when I can go out exploring with my friends and find cool shit and spots and ride them. With street its just my friends encouraging me, and nobody is being a dick to anyone because they can't do a certain trick or fail to land something.

Good thing competitions aren't what riding is all about.

Matt came in 4th lol

 

[parrish]

Fuck this Tyler kid. He's a twat.
You ride what you think is fun, sorry I hate things that are made for me to land things on, I would much rather have a basic trick on a hard obstacle than a hard trick on a kicker. I don't think the difference is park and street, I think its obstacle based riding and trick based. You all know there are people who do both in both, and there is value in each of them.

There is nothing wrong with street riding, at all. Street is more enjoyable to watch because of the different spots filmed at and the creativity. Park isn't bad either though, if the edit is more than a bunch of quarters and flyboxes. Whats annoying about some park riders is how they talk shit on street with their helmets, kneepads and elbowpads when they aren't even moderately good trick wise.
