I just got the best idea!!! How about we stay on topic!!! Yeaaahhhh!!! This isn't about tricks being easy, making yourself look cool or whatever other ego oriented nonsense you'd like to litter the board with. If you can't post a video showing how easily you can do something, don't go saying how easy it is for you to do something. Seriously, if you really need attention that bad, how about posting a how to video explaining how and why the trick is so easy instead? e_e

If you have a trick or you know how to do something, put it up for the other riders to see, its a competition, but who says it has to be cut throat. Besides, as a Fang rider, you wouldn't be bragging.... you'd produce results. Talk to Asa, or Zaarock (leader of Tridents), both put their money where their mouths were. From now on, you got something to say about a trick or technique, put it up for the world to see.

Talking about the Fang Road. After some days I've spent practicing, I found out that spinning motion (doing tricks with big amount of spins) does feel like it leads to Fang Road.
I can't really explain, how I see and feel this, but here's the thing: Magic Slide, done in a straight way, without any spinning, feels like it belongs to Flame Road. Sudden and fast, dead stop within two seconds. Magic Slide done with 180 turn, feels a lot wilder, belonging to Fang Road. The time I've spent doing a spin, approximately one second, is enough to perform anything you like with your hands, let it be any sort of offensive action or defensive action.

I think Rising Road is more about consecutive grinds, than spinning motion specifically. I don't know however how does it feel, doing consecutive grinds, I haven't done even a single one yet So, to sum it up, I think at least two roads are seem to be clear to understand: Flame Road is about performance and simple tricks, speed and maneuverability are prior. Fang Road is about offensive maneuvers and spinning motion, maneuverability and performance are prior.

The thing is, I understand the Roads which I feel to be close to me. Flame and Fang would be those. Maybe even Ring Road.
This means, if we want all the Roads defined properly, then its up to those who are close to their specific Roads to do this. Personally I am eager to hear something about Sonya Road, for instance.
All of you watch riding videos. Just once, try not only watch and express "Oh, damn, that was sick/That sucked", but try to analyze. Watch several videos, compare how riders prefer to brake, how they jump, which tricks they prefer/can/can't do. This will help to get Road System done much sooner.

I agree with shadow, on the video concept. It is quite interesting to analyze as you watch. Also, I fit primarily into flame and ring, with quite a few fang tendencies, lol. (Just saying that it's fairly similar, lulz.)

Well since everyone is stating their roads, I guess I'll put in my two cents as well. I'm mainly wing but also flame seems to fit as well. I love going high but speed gives me thrills to. Go as fast as you can into the air and stay up there as long as possible. That's how I feel.
