Re: word
thats why i said "while killin the streets on a bike is considerably more dangerous than street skating both are still illegal, arrestable offenses". i'm not comparing the danger of the sports or their consiquences. i was comparing mainly the rise of skateboarding as a sport (from hated by the general public to accepted and popular) to how I see stunting raise up as a sport the same way. i also compared some of the other illegal offenses that are common amungst both sports...property damage & running from the cops. never did i mention anything about what they are booked for when caught.

...ehh fair enough. no one should have to justify stunting in the streets though, thats where the sport started...it may not be safe or the smartest thing to do but its where it began and where it will remain most popular.

Analyze what you said, to some but FMX Started in the Dunes and was all natural terrain and who could hit the biggest natural terrain hit then Freestyle jumped into the xgames on a closed course where people pay to come watch and the riders get paid to put their bones, ego's, and lives on the line. If You gave someone the decision tio go watch a bunch of guys jumping dirt mounds or The X Games where people are throwing 100 foot flip combo's ramp to dirt. Its evolution of sports
50,000 people are not going to crowd the highway to watch some squid power wheelie down the highway. This is where professional action sports comes into play. Some will move on and make this a 100% Legit action sport known world wide. and some will stick to the streets and continue to loose money, bikes, licenses, lives for what
