Where has BIG STREET gone? CALLOUT
it seems that there is some amazing trials/ultratech street riding going down , but i have not seen a good big street video in a long time. I don't have much time now, but i'll try to make a video soon that will be partially big street, but i want to see some big street videos! I'll make a contest in the video section so that discussion about the topic and ppl who are making videos are seperate and understandable.

street is bigger than it's ever been. It just doesn't seem that way because of what it is compared to. Back when "big street" was "big street" it was simply like 8 sets and 8-10 set rails. But that is all there was. Nowadays it's 8 set flips, fakie180s, 180s and what not, and 11-15 set rails but surrounded by tech stuff too. So "big street" has gone no where. Like I said street is bigger than it's ever been. -SJ -- unifreak7 http://www.myspace.com/ShaunJohanneson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unifreak7's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6137 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69399 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The other issue with "big street" is that its very hard on parts and riders. Many big street riders are realising this and cutting back the amount they do. Also big street doesn't offer as much challenge as tech does. Sure you can combine them, but adding more spin to a crankflip or a unispin or doing a combo of tech tricks into eachother is much harder than doing that trick off of something huge. -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

So when you say 'big street' your thinking hitting the biggest jumps whatever you can without tricking it right? So like Shaun said, big street used to be simply jumping 8 sets, but now it's like, tricks on 8 sets and stuff. So big street now should be, hitting something so big you wouldn't be able to trick down it. Right? -- forrestunifreak I will, because I can.

In big street, although being nervous to go that big is definitely part of the factor, one of my main things that limits me is finding stairsets or handrails. I grew up in a small, pretty flat town..and the town im in right now is even flatter. Now it would be alot better to find sets and rails if I grew up in a big city with multiple schools/buildings/etc. and more hills.
