street riding, dosn't consist of to and from school, unless your doing tricks along the way.

So how about a brake pad reccomendation? That is what the request was for.
I reccomend Kool Stop BMX pads.

Kool Stop BMX or MTB pads, the salmon/black ones, specifically.

koolstop is always good, especially the salmon compound. Plazmatic pads are awesome but expensive and loud

You don't have to be a jerk. I'm fairly certain that he has to ride on the street between his house and school.

I would call that Commuting to school, not street riding.

Funny, I ride my race bike on the street, to a local dirt track. Along the way, I hop kerbs, do little jumps off peoples yards, and generally create a nuisance. What would you call that?

I do this to on my to peoples houses when I go to hang out with them and i ride my bike to get there, but I don't say i went street riding along the way since I'm just really using the bike to get from point a to point b, like beerman said, So it really dosn't count as a session.

He didn't say it was a session, he only said it was "Street riding". I know you're jealous that he's in NZ, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but what should he have said? Enlighten us with the proper lingo.

I already said this way before above, It's commuting, not street riding.

We sell kool-stop's. never changed my the ones on my ****e so I don't really know. But here's a lingo question. What if I leave extra early on my way somewhere so I can hit some jumps and practice some stuff before I got there?

You work at a shop, but yet you ride a bike with a 1" threaded headset. WTF?

I got my wife a Felt Sector 24 for Mother's Day. She's quite stoked, even though she'll mostly be riding on the street.
