It would be way worth it if I lived somewhere with snow. In north carolina we will hit street rails when we get just an inch of snow and it is hard work farming snow to build take offs. We got a foot a couple weeks ago and it made it so much more fun and easier to hit stuff.

I feel urban is only worth it if you have skills you are confident in. If you arent at least fairly good, then I personally wouldnt risk fucking my self up too bad.

yep. Even if there it doesn't work out you can still make an experience out of it. Like for example, a couple weeks ago my friend and I tried to do urban on a down rail. Impossible to get speed we just jumped off of a roof into some snow

The park at the hill I ski at is always a clusterfuck of kids with the average age of 10, urban is a great way to get away from that.

I thought Iurban was some new apple gadget for the streets.


Is urban worth it? How the fuck am I supposed to know. I'm not you. I think urban is awesome and a fun time. If you see a rail and think "let's fucking hit that shit" then do it, but don't do it because you feel you have to.

It's cool to see something in it's natural environment and set it up to your liking. The rail, the drop, the wall, whatever your hitting isn't changing. You just put your twist on it and then get to shred it. I love parks don't get me wrong but there's something special about urban sometimes.

There's nothing better than that feeling of finding a nice rail, that you're hoping nobody has hit yet, setting it up with all your buddies, then hiking it until you are satisfied. Even if you don't get 3 swap pretz 4, you're still damn proud of the hard work you put into trying to make it work.

urban is super fun. completely different experience from riding park, and it's fun to hit shit where the best trick is just getting to the end of the rail
