Urban/Police Ratio:

I just got in from an urban and we got busted.. again.

It seems like almost everytime in the last year we have gone out on an excursion we get busted. I hate it. The rail we set up today was in a courtyard of a school, no where near a road. We basically threw a photographer up ontop of a portable to take photos, and someone called the cops and said "someone is breaking into a portable". How retarded can someone get? You see someone on top of a portable, but RIGHT beside it is snow (which there is non of anywhere else , and a huge drop in. Would you not assume SOMETHING was up seeing snow and this "tower"? Stupid people. Anyways a undercover SUV and cruiser pulled up, got our id, gave us a warning, made us pack up and go home.

Im just wondering what your guys bust ratio is? like everytime you go out do you get busted or what?

one of the cops was about to let us hit it. he was super chill, and thought what we were doin was sick but he said he had to kick us out because somebody called it in. he said if it wasn't called in and he rolled by he would have stopped to watch for sure

i've had pretty good success with urban missions thus far, i haven't hit a mass amount of rails but i've come to find that as long as you don't make much noise no matter where you won't get busted all that often...

unfortunatly thats not the right answer.

Its bascially a portable class room - used when the schools population exceeds the classs room size. There set up outside, exactly like this:

summer ratio= 1 succesful rail for every 2 busts
winter= 3 successes for every bust


bringing snow to rails usually sucks, takes way too much time, hence way easier to get kicked out, you either have to find isolated rails or be fast

well you had the guy standing on a roof, thats not just a little suspicuos is it? If some on looked from the other side they probably would not see the rest of you guys. Also you probably arnt suposed to stand on those roofs.

I have hit 3 rails.
cops busted us once and just told us to leave, but they were really cool. The other two were at my college and the cops came and just watched us from the parking lot and then left. We actually got busted by security.

your chances of getting caught are pretty high if your in a concentrated, small town. But if they give you a warning, consider yourelf lucky

you do realize that a warning isnt anything other than telling you to go home and saying dont do that again. it is no "offical ticket" without a fine or anything like that. its the SAME THING.

dam kids. i thought the same thing when i was fifteen so i guess i shouldnt be so mean.

we set up 3 different rails yesterday, and at teh first one, 2 cops came and just asked if we had a phone to call 911 ifsome got hurt and they were asking us a bunch of questions about skiing and rails so it was pretty cool! and they just let us hit the rail as long as we wanted!

haven't gone out that much, gotten about 3 warnings, but 4 out of 6 times we'll get away with it...

It all depends on the people in the neighbourhood, some times you'll get the old senile guy calling the cops everytime a kid walks by his house past ten, other times you'll get the family coming to watch...

I usually go at night, if you don't make too much noise and set up in the dark, then stick your trick in less than 10 tries, you'll get away with it for sure.

word, in reno most of the time cops dont really care, more than anything its the noise of the generator that they bitch about. We were doing the clayton rail thats in PYB like 50 million times, and 15 min in a cop showed up and starting questioning people cuz he didnt even know what the hell was going on. He was like your going to do what?!haha have fun.

I wasnt doing urban, i was just using a nursing homes hill for speed on my own rail. The nurses came out and watched us and loved it. I asked them if they were gonna call the cops, and they said thats dumb.

Ive shot anywhere from 50-75 urban rails; more often than not I've had to deal directly with the land owner/property manager than the cops. Which is a good thing. Never gotten any tickets for vandalism, destruction of property, etc. that many people have run into. Its all about timing.
