Street riding is about 10x more hardcore than skateboarding. A 40 pund piece of steel and a handrail, a perfect combanation.

street riding defintly rules...but i think you have to give at least some respect to skateboarders i mean have you seen anyone on a bike try a 30 stair gap...i ride mostly and skateboard everynow and then man..and its alot harder than what you would think.....but riding definetly crushes skateboarding anymore..everythings so big and tech its unbelivable..

I seen a picture of a guy going down over 30 stairs and he eats pavement. i skate and like it more than street riding but i never get that rush i do at the park when i'm on a board.

i bike and board, i usually bring both to the park and switch off constanltly. i think they both envolve the same amout of skill and i think that whatever i can do on a bike i can do on a board because if i can jump a trash can on a 40lb bike theni can jump one on a 5 lb skateboard

I have a gack cannibal and it weighs around 45 lbs. Its a really nice bike though, primo hula-hoops, graveyard original handlebars, kink pegs, t-1 sprocket, etc. And i have a schwin el jefe thats mostly stock except primo mustache bars, fbm sprocket and a set sun bfrs. I think its easier to get started into bmx, since you are much more connected to you bike than you are with a skate. But a few months down the road it gets really hard, just like skating does. Bunny hop barspins are just as hard as 3flips. If those guys want to add some style to the feeble grinds they could do no-footers into them, or ride a suicide feeble.

i have two haro shredders the 99 and 02 on the 99 i have a gt crank, diamond back petals, oddesey grips, oddessey gyro cable, haro mirra sig seat, fusion crome slant seatpost, specialized spanky tires, redline double wall rims. and my 02 shredder is pretty much stock eccept for specialized spanky tires and mirra sig seat also. i can do a barspin in the air, bunny hop over people also onto benches, grind, ride off tables and trailers (pretty scarry) 180 tail whip and many others with ease and i cant do anything crazy on a board besides heelflip and shuvit heelflip. but i skate really good and snowboard the same.
