As I suggested in earlier threads, adopt Magnum’s definition of street. Call the forum Magnum Street Showcase. Problem solved.

If you check Mark Power's supposed street work in Magnum's street course you'll see it's impossible, Rob.

Like I said , Crafted street. Story telling that you never quite sure what is happening. This is what I like about his work.
