The real question is, why don't you have pegs?

i left my ratchet on the floor and thought to myself, i need to put that in my truck, loaded up my bike then drove off. :mad2:

Went out looking for spots yesterday. Brought the phone today, so I could show you guys.

Hoping they don't build a rail next to this one. If they don't, it will be fucking awesome. Most of these got a rail next to it, about bar height, so my bars hit the rail if I try to go up/down the ramp.

Found this little set of stairs. About the size I got the balls to jump for now.

Curved wallride, same spot.

Jumped off this thing three times, and fucked the wrists up every time. Tried to go faster, or land rear tire first, but still the same. Tips?

Also seems like a good spot to learn wall rides. Any tips on starting out? What angle should I approach from?

Couldn't this be used by cities to find out what spots to put stoppers on, block off, etc?

Password it.

someone who knows how to code things should make a world map of spots- users can take a photo on phone or whatever with location settings/gps coordinates embedded. upload them and everyone has a handy map of every city with pictures of spots for when they visit.

That already exists, someone on here posted it the other day.

A former Dutch start-up company called newbreeders had a pretty good working map. You could post clips and photos with every spot, opt to choose either park / street / water / etc. spots. Everything was laid over google maps. Could also give yourself a location thus could also form some sort of couchsurfing type-a-deal for bikers / skaters. Later on Transworld took it over (bought it) but the it kinda disappeared in a black hole. Somehow I think that - however good this idea might sound - there just is not a market for it. Maybe in another couple of years the time is right.

Gaps:
Move your bars forward so they are parallel with your headtube. Then you can put more weight onto your feet and bend your knees to absorb the impact.

Wallrides:
Approach at about 45 degrees, pull up like a manual and lean away from the wall. Ride up the wall, turn away from the wall, pull up again and manual off it so you don't nose dive into the flat ground.

This is a DIY spot that skaters built in the hood of Detroit. Rumor has it that its going to at least double in size from what it currently is and there will be a snake run that will go through 2 abandoned houses that back up to the park.
Sorry for the shitty iPhone photos, plus it was really sunny today but you get the idea.
