Much of the style of Colombian stunt riding takes after street crews such as the Wow Boyz and the 12 O’clock Boyz of the United States. However, as a developing nation, many people are unable to afford the types of luxuries that those in the US and Europe are accustomed to. For this reason, stunt riding in Colombia has a decidedly more gritty and hardcore look and feel than what many in the US and Europe are used to.
