Exactly, when I used to ride, it was me and two other friends in the middle of central Illinios (total BFE)..no scene at all. All we had were magazines and the movie Rad for guidence. We basically sucked because there was no one to teach us any of the tricks. We just had to figure it out on our own. But it was just all about the fun..and the fact that no one but us ever really got it. About when we all started to get good (i.e. we cold do stuff like nothing airs) we all went our separate ways to college and we all just sort of moved onto other things. All three of us still agree that bikes rule though.
