I like how that doesn't have anything bigger than a 6 set. Although lots
of people do bigger sets I don't really think that they should be a
requirement of street. It is more of a tweak to a trick than a trick in
itself.

All in all they look pretty good. Still there are probably more level
tens in street than in the standard list but this is because most of
the tricks are just combinations of smaller ones so I don't really
think you can compare the two lists.

I agree on that.

A 180 uni spin on the standard list is a 10.

Edit: how about the parts in red?

They all look right to me, but I think level seven is supposed to be a
handrail. Level six is probably up a four set.

Also we should get one of the street aficionado's in here to put in the
proper name for some of those tricks, like treflip and backflips and
the like. The whole 180 unispin crankflip thing just makes it more
annoying to read.

The level 8 rail is the only one where it actually had "hand" in the
translation, I felt it was obvious. But what about the differences
between the grinds in levels 5 and 7?

I think you are right about the 4-set.

But keep the laymans' descriptions.

Ahh I see what you mean. Maybe they really do mean just a long rail,
seems kind of silly though. Maybe they mean a sloped rail?

The one that kind of gets me is • Driving jump concerning 4-set gone

I'm assuming it means a rolling hop something of a four set but I don't
know if thats up or down.
