Share your favorite session spots in and around the metro!
Who knows? Maybe we can turn it into an Urban trail!

The spots that we've gone to were great so far, like the backside at the Macapagal road were the roadies hang-out. Sadly we share these spots with the public so we have to be extra careful

been to intramuros, which i believe is one of the best urban jungles, and my fave urban trails is "the ayala bridge strip" which stretches from the TIP university in quiapo and ends at the phil normal univ in taft avenue, good for me coz of the ayala bridge as a moderate uphill, then a maze of the sidewalk going to taft with 1 foot gutters and various small mounds beside the school, but sometimes when weekdays you can't play there coz of lotsa people, favorable on sundays though

alien_scream : well i never experienced hostile moments when i pass that strip, besides, there's a lespu outpost there aside from the WPD headquarters just across UN avenue, coz this is the only easy and chunky way asides from nagtahan bridge going to roxas, which is more dangerous not because of hostile bystanders but monstrous trucks hehehe

Maybe I could help you with a good route. I'm from Sta. Mesa (the place where you could find lots of Motels). I usually take the route in CEU then to Ayala bridge and going to Luneta and Roxas...

hey konablack how are you man yeah brad mine's nearer, i'm from sampaloc, near espana/ust, so i know practically all the routes in and out, i even use the "foridden lairs" of quiapo going to luneta, passing thru the ayala bridge again, let's ride sometime going there brad ;D @ efren : that's right brad! even here in our place the caltex filling station also became an urban jungle, my friends here are BMXers though, and they made the varoius 1-2 ft mounds here as ramps hehhe. you can make any place in manila an urban jungle, just a little imagination and creativity and viola!

Join rin ako anytime urban assault ride is posted. Sir Rocky, I'll try to recover as earlier as I can, for you guys. By the way, is it okay if I scheduled a ride on Sunday, not this coming Sunday but maybe on the 24, its so long cause I want to recover completely and after that I could ride anytime in the weekends (have an On-the-job-training) this summer...
