gilly Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 hi, im just interested in what people prefer riding, and why. i love street because its all man made, and because you get people stop and stare and clap when your riding anyway, leave a post please I prefer street, i find it more aesthetically pleasing when riding and watching and i find you get more satisfaction from it. (Also theres no good natural anywhere near me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy d Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Street for me, I like the terrain simple so you can get creative with what you do on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I voted street, as I ride this more, however this is due to the lack of natural around here. I do however enjoy riding GOOD natural sometimes more than street as its a lot more technical and impoves balance and feel on the bike.I just wish there were more rocks around here, being south east england not alot lol.

Watson© Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Natural... My reason... well...It's because it's alot more challenging, looooads of more lines, progresses your balance... makes you a better rider!I like Street too but since there is like no Natural were I live I perfer and enjoy it more... and I think it makes me a better rider when I got back to Street, everything becomes more smooth and flowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Street...I enjoy the creativity of introducing new elements and influences into my riding from bmx, skating and er... beer! My bike is currently set up for techy and fast street and it rides awesome for it.That said I also enjoy natty a lot and had a good few hours at shipley glen tonight and I enjoy the challenge it presents and it makes a good change. It's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenhopper Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Can I vote twice - or for Street in Capital letters or something like that? It's so much more fun than natural riding for me. Natural likes hurting my bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 It`s really not more challanging , maybe you just don`t try hard enough to find new lines in street..I think both are good but i prefer streetYeah it f**king is! Its not a case of having to find new lines in street. In natural its impossible NOT to find new lines. You go street riding, the most you'll ever usually find is a line about 5 moves long. Its all the same as well, flat walls, flat landings, nice run ups. Most street rides riders will go somewhere then try the same thing on the same wall over and over and over and over. Street riding isn't as challenging physically either. With natural your stamina is pushed a lot more, your co-ordination when trying to land on smaller points of sticking out rock, your balance trying to stay on uneven rocks and your entire balance/fitness gets improved a shed load.Why doesn't it on street? Because its easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thats not the result of street riding. Thats someones ability to push themselves.If, like normal people, your riding within your limits, natural riding will always be more challenging because it takes more control, balance and stamina. Street is easier because everythings flat, theres no dodgy edges, no tree roots, no muddy run ups, no lumps of smaller rock to hit. Its just flat floors, flat walls, and easily judgeable distances.What your talking about is your mentality, not how challenging street is. You can go out and find a rock in the middle of a natural section and try tapping 59", its still going to be harder than the street alternative. OPlus theres the fact that street lines are always smaller. With a field of rocks, if you have the ability you can ride a single line for an hour or so. Where as street riding is generally more a case of finding a wall an inch bigger than the last one you did, then hitting it over and over again till you can make it.
