Now I know that Illinois does not have a regional thread so i decided to post in this one. I also know that there was just a post like this in this forum. I was wondering if anybody knew of any good urban rails in the chicago area? It would seem that there would be lots of good rails, but I havent really seen any,

Pics would be appreciated

just got back from downtown chicago. i did a bunch of scouting. (around the loop/mag mile/soliders field/navy pier/grant park) most rails have stops on them, actually about everyone i saw. the ones i saw with out them had no landing what so ever. also in most places chicago is pretty flat (away from the lake) im guessing theirs some on the south side near cominsky or the united center thats were most of the hills are downtown, those niehgboorhoods are pretty sketch thou and heaavily cop patroled, so wed have to get the ins.'


milwaukees pretty different. no rails have stops on them and theirs no cops anywhere.

there is a nice single bar rail, a block esat of the John Hancock building, sort of in an alley, but if you had an inrun ramp, it could be setup perfectly

no, the end sort of goes into a street if you have a lot of speed, but there is no fence
