What's the most frustrating thing about street?
A lot of time while filming, I'll encounter lines where the distance between moves is just right for one rev or two revs but doesn't allow any extra distance. So while doing the line you have to land in the correct spot to get your measurement for the other tricks. This adds a lot of difficulty to the line to not only do the first trick but have to land it in a specific area. It's a bit like trials, except the camera doesn't see that added difficulty.
