I dunno. there's something funny about saying "taking big mountain to a new level" when you're taking the mountain away completely. On the other hand there's lots of parking garages and bigger houses with kick-ass snowdrifts beside them just begging to be hucked.

Bottom line- if you live in a city it's cool, if you live in a mountain town it's queer.

I think all of you are saying ur "scoping" urban shit, but 90% of everyone on this site isnt going to hit one thing that they "scoped"

out here in connecticut we have tons of rocks and cliffs that dump out onto grass right by the side of the streets. there are so many lines you could do if there was a foot or two of snow. If we get some snow this year I'm gonna go out and film some shit....it could be very exciting.

Urban drops = sick. Not like some weird rock outcropping but like a big ledge drop or actual true urban stuff, like roofs or cement. It's sick.

No, hes not saying like renaming urban drops urban cliffs, he just saying that he wants to do a cliff instead of a drop once in a while.

They have something similar in mountain biking. It's called a plumbum. But since they discover trannies they don't do vertical drops anymore. Hmmmm.
