To be fair, "street vision" doesn't just apply to bmxers riding streets. Yeah it's more common for people to be travelling around town and see something than just be out in the wilderness somewhere, but it's more just having a talent to find lines to ride wherever you look....

It's just creativity, originality.... a bit of imagination coupled with the knowledge of what you know you can do on a bike, and you just apply it to the surroundings you're in, be it street, somewhere off in the hills, or even at a skatepark... just finding something new that hasn't been done, hitting something differently...

"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?


I have street vision. And for some reason when im driving by places im always on the lookout for things that could be made possible to sesh.

i think the reason pros can do endless tricks on stuff that nromal riders cant, is because pros know how to do endless amounts of tricks and jsut find things to do the moff of, most people cant do all those lines liek pros because they dont know as many tricks as the pros do

having street vision starts to get annoying, when you're totally distracted from driving... Frown

My friends and I know all about this. We call it "Constant Line Syndrome". Sometimes we have it so bad that when one of us suddenly gets interested in something while we're driving around, chances are that it's not a cute girl. Cool

i hate seeing all the sick banks on the side of the freeway. i know that riding them would most certainly involve death.
