elcornholioPeople probably go to places like rail garden for fun because they don't feel like paying for day tickets.

veng_mI would do it for the soul and for the shot.
HP123Does anyone here ski urban just to go out and get some? I feel like getting "the shot" is mandatory. discuss
TallxTI haven't hit urban for any other reason than fun. It's not all like you see in lack of better. I'd argue that those guys are the only ones who feel that way about it. Anyone I've gone into the streets with have made it a blast whether we get a clip or not.
eheathThis, tons of homies just go shred rail gardens all the time.
But, when it comes to a big trick or rail that's worthy enough for a shot, there's no reason to risk your well being to just go hit it for fun.
Think of it like powder/big mountain skiing. Tons of people shred pow and all mountain for fun, but you're not gonna go casually backflip a 50ft cliff and not film it, know what i'm saying?

It would be mind-blowing to go out on your cities pow day and see some local homie just getting his shred on. It has me wondering do people ski urban for the soul or do they just want to get the shot? discuss

BlurstSeriously?
People do super gnarly high consequence stuff all the time without cameras rolling, getting at it in skiing isnt all about getting the shot.
^nate^Disagree, older generations huck shit all the time with no film rolling.

eheathdefine "huck shit" or "super gnarly high consequence" because if someone is doing something that's worthy enough to be filmed (these days) someone at least is goproing that shit.
You guys are reading into it too much anyways, the point is that people do plenty of shit just for fun but the more "serious" skiers that want to do big shit and get shots, etc.
zzaander123the fun in street skiing isn't in casually lapping a rail, its the feeling of finally landing some thing super crazy. and if your gonna do some thing super crazy that has a high risk of a bad fall why not film it

Dennis_Reynoldsclayton and all those guys sound like they hate urban skiing
MiniMeDannywould be pretty funny to be walking around the city and see someone misty out of a natty speed closeout with no cam or friends around, just trying to get his soul shred on

Earl_GlobzIf you don't chew yourself out for not getting the shot then fuck you.
russsavokskisIsn't all skiing except for comps for fun?
reecemasters0i do tons of comps and most are for fun. I do them with the goal to podium but its still tons of fun. Its basically just you and some homies throwing down for an hour and throwing some cool shit
Peter.urban edits have a requirement now, you have to include at least one shot of someone getting pissed at a feature
but yeah, the stept guys never looked like they were having fun, like they'd just get pissed and then when they finally landed it they never even looked happy, just kinda relieved that they could go home
