Alright, so i arrived in Salt Lake last night for our trip to the midwest. We head out to this afternoon, and I was wondering what the best area for urban is up in the minnesota area.
Hit me up if you know of any areas.

Thank You,
Bentley Atteberry

theres some pretty sick rails down in mankato, but its proablly not worth the drive when minneapolis area has so much to offer.

i haven't really done any of them, but i've seen quite a few, cherry street rail is like down, flat c, down about 100 feet or something like that. dfd in back of highschool, another like dfdfd in back of highschool but kind of hidden in the woods. i heard there's a pretty sick dfd by some park or lake, but i haven't seen it, there's more i just can't think of them right now

minnesota has some dope spots. and with all the snow this winter you should be able to get things going. the best spots seem to be hidden in the suburbs lots of rolling hills. good luck.

that would be a good idea if they wanted to get the same rails as level 1 but, i wouldn't go ahead and volunteer people dude, speaking for others without consent gets you into shit more often than not.

disclaimer: i forgot to mention, alot of those rails in mankato are capped now, like the ones by the highschool (the red ones). Most of the rails are in high traffic areas and kinda near a cop shop as well.

ahhh thanks guys!!!
Bunch of help, i hit a few of you up.
We are in Mankato right now.
And uhh its -15 with a -40 wind chill but we will still be out there tonight.
It actually sounds like all the rails mentioned in mankato we found, except for that one dfd in the park.

yeah that dfd in the park i've never seen or even know what park.  some kinda-unreliable snowboarder told me about it.  let us know if you're succussful with cherry street rail, it'd be sick to see someone grease the whole thing

Its a 4 kink, and its one of the sicker rails i have ever seen. We are heading out to slay it now.

And the scene here is awesome. We have posted in other regional forums about coming to hit urban and this is the best response we have gotten.


Thanks guys. Ill drop some stills tonight.

There are a shitload of kinks here. Ha almost too many!!!
Stoked on Minnesota. Kinda winged this trip and was planned 10 hours before i left.
The 35 hour drive is worth it :).

And im with Tim McChesney and Luke Perin.
