does anybody here actually ride vert?
you can't say that any type of riding is harder than another. flat will look hard to people that don't practice it, and everything else will look crazy too flatlanders that just ride flat. Street riding is probably the most frustrating and tiring. sometimes it takes about 20-30 tries/falls to do a line.
Vert looks scary as hell. i rode a 12ft halfpipe once, and i was shaking when i was gonna drop in. If i did drop in, i would've killed myself. Imagine having your back tir hanging up on the coping.
