The riding areas are largely uncontrolled and too many balls out riders would crash by themselves, each other, or injure somebody that was just out to have a little fun. Balls out riding is meant for a track or some kind of controlled environment. Often these crashes would result in some pretty severe injuries and the balls out guy acting like he didn’t do anything wrong. The injured riders would be in horrible pain until somebody figured out how to tell 911 exactly where they were and EMS figured out how to get to them. Nobody wants to roll around on the ground, or see someone roll around on the ground with a leg bone sticking out of their leg for hours. > > Street is “safer” because the environment is somewhat controlled. Traffic all goes the same way, and mostly everyone abides by the basic rules of the road. If a crash happens, someone will usually call 911 and emergency personnel can usually respond pretty quickly. Nail being hit on head. Best way to say it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bikes/202113)._
