Whenever I'm driving I always see stuff that looks like it is just meant to be ripped on. Like this berm. It's part of the landscaping at a bank I pass by everyday and it just looks like it should be railed. Perfect grass, perfect arc, about 8' tall. Do y'all do that too?

Yep, all the time, especially with all the golf courses we have down here. Smile

When I was younger (hell, I probably still do it) I would always do a little......braap sound and then pretend to jump over shadows when I was walking places. When I'm driving on the freeway I still pretend like I'm jumping over the road where the on/off-ramps are......they look like big ass tabletops.

Whenever I am flying and the plane is starting to descend I am always scanning the landscape for motocross tracks.

Interesting enough so many things look like motox tracks from ~10,000 feet Laughing

One of the best parts of flying! The window seat is always a necessity.

We used to go 2 exits up the interstate to Cracker Barrel when I was a kid. There's a big bridge that crosses a river, and in the median there is a dirt pile on each side of the river. Still to this day, I look over and am WFO on a CR500 in the median then launch it. It's over a 500ft gap and completely un-doable, but as a kid I was always hucking it. Now my wife thinks I'm crazy.

Ha ha, I do that all the time. Or I just think, damn this place would be great to build a track on....

Believe it or not but I've tried jumping things like what you pictured and it's not as great as you'd think. Purposely built dirt take offs are so much better!

There is very nice park along Lake Washington on Seattle (Seward Park) . Spent a lot of time there as a kid. Lots of fantasy riding as the terrain was awesome. When I was about 17 a bud and myself snuck in about a 1/2 hour before dusk and had an absolute blast on RT1's. We did not rip up the grass, we did stick the trails and that deed is forever in my memory....Woohoo

Anytime we pass anywhere that has any kind of construction going on where they are moving dirt my 50 rider swears that have to be building a dirt bike track.

I do it ALL the time...
I just think to myself, "I could triple that" or "I bet I could send that step up"..

Haha, same here. Hand motions and all. Drives my wife nuts cuz it's my dead giveaway that I'm not paying attention to whatever she's saying.

my girlfriend is a golfer (pretty damn good too) and ive been to some courses over the last few months that make me drool, its so tempting to go grab a bike and start cutting jumps into the hills
