Topic: Urban wheeling?

[Weldo]

That's not considered to be Urban Wheeling when it is on a prepared course.

Oh, I see.  I thought it counted as urban because all obstacles were man made.

all :bs: aside  IT is possible 2 URBAN WHEEL  with out being a mall crawler.

mall crawler = clean truck  lifted chrome  and OMG A PUDLE let me get my jacket 2 lay over top the puddle.

Urban crawler is is a lifted truck   owned buy a resourceful driver who sees rocks and hills  where  parking bumpers loading docks  are  even tho i have never seen "urban crawling" i can picture it

Who would want to though.  All this will eventually do is give wheelers a bad rap.

Regardless of the resourcefulness, it is still going to cause problems.  most of it is private property, so unless you have the permission of the owner, it is trespassing.  Then, the marks left behind by are eyesores (tire marks, oil spills, broken glass from rolls (don't laugh, I've seen it )  etc)  Just like the skateboarders, who stain concrete benches and ledges with their soap and stuff   I really don't see the point of urban wheeling anyway, its pretty much a big flex contest, thats all

I think you mean wax. Sorry thats just funny to me being a former skate boarder.


As for urban wheeling, I think it's a lot like street racing. Is it a bad thing? Yeah. Is it gonna stop? Not likely.

all the skaters around here used soap, it was cheaper and did the same thing

I have to disagree.  In a lot of places they have banned skateboarding in public places.  Skateboarders still do it, but not to the extent they used to.  If they get caught, they can be cited or even arrested.

I said it's like street racing, not skateboarding. If you get pinned with a "racing" ticket, you can expect thousands of dollars in fines and even lose your liscence for a year or two. People still do it all the time.

Well, at least with Rockwells I know I am somewhat prepared for this latest fad.

Wonder if I am that noticeable or not...?


lol....

Sounds like a really bad idea and a good way to get locked up.  Heck because of my type of work I only wheel on designated 4x4 trail or on private property that friends own and allow wheeling on.  I could not imagine trying to wheel at wallmart.

Up here it's a drive to get to any "trails" so alot of people wheel the construction sites and snow dump sites...  there is actually some pretty crazy stuff there... as long as we're not distroy'n equipment or tearing up newly landscaped areas the cops just tell us to becarefull...  Yeah it's not as nice as the real trails up here... but you can't wheel those in the winter... so it gives us something to do to pass the long 8 months... as well as curb our hunger durring the long work week till we can go up on a weekend... but I haven't had any cop say to stop... though we did have about 20 cops show up one night at the snow dump sight... but I think they were just try'n to make a drug bust cause they came in guns drawn and ... I was like... DAMN... they must own Jeeps

Never heard much about urban wheeling.  Sounds like they were giving you a line of crap.  Sounds like they watch too much of "Jackass".

Any Jackass is too much Jackass.
