I think that road is defined more by the personality, rather than tricks. Sure, there are tricks which are specific to a certain road, but there aren't many of those kind. Here are some Road definitions, as I see and feel them: Like, I imagine Fang Road riders as normal people, until they get their blades on. Then they are turning into something different. They can be cynical or cheerful, evil or kind, playful or serious, but when it comes down to a battle they are all almost the same, craving for the win, no matter what would it take, parts, emblem, someone's life or their very own. Or, Sonia Road riders, as I imagine them, will rather make their challengers distracted and lure them into their strategy by creating a illusion of an easy prey and evading easily with their agility. I guess their whole strategy is evasive, rather that defensive or offensive. I define Flame Road riders, as passionate people who are not really interested in amount of tricks performed and their difficulty and more considered about performance. Getting from one point in space to another making each second count, that's their interest. Probably they can't do or not interested in difficult tricks and more concentrated on relatively simple ones, but perform them in a quickest possible way. That it for now, feel free to discuss and criticize. Personality and personal preference do, indeed play a big part in how a road works. Your descriptions make a lot of sense. The roads utilize personality and style in a form of harmonious natural progression. Meaning, if you pick a road based on your personality, you probably won't go too far and end up disappointed. I also, feel its a bit too early put a 100% solid personality on a road. However, your description of the flame road does a good job in describing almost every flame road rider I've met thus far, and of course the personalities don't need to be an exact match. As for the Fang and Sonia road, I'm a bit unsure myself , seeing as I've never really had a chance to experience the descriptions you explained. Those two Roads are very similar in many ways. But you are on the right track, Shadow. I think you're actually noticing the psychological work I put into it. I did more than just skate research for this. I incorporated a lot of psychological know how, as well as some incorporations people would dub as "metaphysical" or "occult". These Roads are more than just simple styles of riding, they're way more profound than that. When riders focus on getting better and do get better, the roads will bloom. Kind of like an "awakening". I have some new info for the fang road that I'll be posting here soon. :]

I have some new info for the fang road that I'll be posting here soon. :] Well, I didn't saw that many different riders of basically any road. Even if I ever did, I was too busy to hang around for some time and analyze. I've just described nearly a rough sketches of those roads, as I feel they should be like. Many differences still occur even within limits of a certain road. I'll be waiting for news on the Fang Road, this should be very interesting. And as was requested, I'll try to define the Rising Road: Riders of this road prefer to ride on obstacles rather than grind on them, regardless to its narrowness, shape and position in space. I does not mean, however, that they can't or won't grind, it's just the next choice after the first option. I think, they have much in common with Flame and Sonia road when it comes to speed, performance or agility. This theory of mine is very rough and unfinished as I don't completely understand the concept of the road and psychology of its riders. And on the way I though about the Ring Road: Ring Road riders are hard to identify, as they completely cleared the basics, and some advanced techniques and can put up a good challenge to almost every rider out there. Unless they start to speak. Strong in analysis and knowledgeable in equipment, having a good vision in psychology they are quick to find strong sides of their mates and flaws of their rivals. I imagine them primarily as strategists who specialize on using their rival's weaknesses in correspondence with the advantages they have.

Well, according to the quiz result, the Fang Road is mine. Seems legit. I am able to accelerate and stop pretty fast, quite maneuverable and not afraid of speed. However, I do not practice any grinds as my blades are suited for freeskate a slalom. I'm thinking about getting powerblading frames as I don't want to loose speed with traditional aggressive frame with those tiny wheels... You know, if there is something I have learned about your roads is that you will never loose your speed if it is your road, it is not about the skates you wear but about yourself and your moves, I am also a bloody fang road... neverthless I havent seen anybody that can fly as high as me... No one survives...

Dammit, another one... Kid, listen. We're talking about serious matters here, no anime-like exaggeration, but a system applicable in real world, on real street. Trying at least. The road system is under development, and this means IT IS NOT FINISHED. Anyone, however, can throw in their suggestions on improving and detailing the system. So, unless you have something to say on this topic, PLEASE, be so kind to go and showoff in some other topic. I can even say where exactly, " Introduction" section. Create a topic there and feel free to boast as much as you like. Still, however, life shows that those who boast about themselves too much are getting wasted astonishingly quick. P.S. excuse me for being maybe too rude, but I think it had to be said.

Good grief... and by the way, mr ag fan, I will say that how fast you go, and what tricks can be accomplished are entirely up to what equipment you have. It would be like saying that a car will go as fast as a jet, because it has a dedicated driver! Seriously, equipment plays a huge role.

I have a few based a lot on one legged skating maneuvers. There's a one legged spin stop that I think fits perfectly into the fang road. You can stop or turn on a dime, plus it could be modified into a nifty looking kick, if you have the balance to do so that is. Also, one legged carving is pretty good for acceleration. It's easier to do downhill. Upon carving, it gives you a very serpentine, or shark like, stride. There's a bunch more out there. Such as one legged slides. :] Hopefully, this sparks some ideas on the direction the Fang Road should go.

There are various slalom videos that give you something to start with, for the "carving" anyway.That one legged spin stop, on the other hand, I'm not sure. I know it exists, though. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who can do it. XD Its just like a normal spin stop with one free leg. Just look up videos for the spin stop on youtube. :] You should find some.
