Do You have "Street Vision"?

"Street Vision" is to look at architecture around towns and see whether obstacles and set-ups are ridable or not (I couldn't find a better word). Most pro street riders have the ability to do endless tricks on set-ups that the average person or rider would just deem un-ridable. When you look at a set-up or an obstacle do you see tricks that can be done on it or just pass it on? I hope you guys get what I mean. I think most street riders have the ability or at least some ability. When I see spots I'll think of several tricks that could be done on them, but if a pro came he would think of twenty more that would be possible.

How do you guys process spots?

Just because you're err "from the streets" or whatever you calim to be, doesn't give you and excuse to spell like a retard. Learn english or piss offtup

Back on topic though, I can be walking/driving around, and you just see gaps, or wallrides or banks or stairs or whatever, and you just kinda start making up lines in your head and wishing you had a bike with you.

Yeah I can see a lot of nice set ups, but a lot I find around town would be doable by a really skilled rider, but not really doable by myself. I do end finding some nice sets just by cruising. I love cruising down a rode on a brakeless just flowing and tricking off stuff in the environment(not bringing in jumps and such).

i have trail vision, i look at any cliff or road or hill or anything, and picture a rider hucking it. it doesnt matter what it is, i think, "what if it involved a bike?"
