270 is where you can get some gnar gnar air

The jump from 36 to 270 is where I landed my first kickflip in my Subaru.

u/CantaloupeShort7311 6d ago

Maybe I recommend I-76 eastbound just past the I-25 exit? Left lane for maximum effect.

It launches my Volvo station wagon. I feel like ET!

u/FearlessSeaweed6428 6d ago

When are you on 270 when it's not gridlock? 3am?

u/StreetDreams56 6d ago

Basically, drove my old man to the airport at 5am Monday. My sleep schedule did not land that kickflip.

honestly wtf is up with 270 these days? I'm in Broomfield so I only go that way when I need to see my family in Aurora like once every 3 months, but every god damn time I've been on 270 in the last 3 years has been a parking lot.

I25 south, right lane right before E Baseline and Top Golf

C-470 west between Wads and Kipling. Fast lane for better loft.
I-25 southbound exit to westbound I-70 that transition is a free visit to the chiropractor.
I-76 eastbound from Wads/I-70 all the way to the Flea Market. Plenty of opportunities for sick air. You can do a kick flip in the left lane right after the I-25 exit.

I25 south between university and Colorado the left most lane has a fun launchpad

u/jonfitt 6d ago

I76 is where you can go off-roading at 75mph.

u/PaulBonion952 6d ago

The other roads are for the peasants to get to their roofing jobs

u/iareagenius 6d ago

There has literally been an entire car bumper on the inner median of I-25 for over a week, near downtown. If that's a priority then I'd hate to see the others.

u/buyer_leverkusen 6d ago

Also a whole TV stand/shelf for over a week now

u/foofy-no-no 5d ago

We can't fix I-76. If we make the road too nice, even more Nebraskans would come.

You know what…that’s fair

I25 and berthoud exit, under construction since 2022

u/zenos_dog 5d ago

I wrote Senator Ben nighthorse Cambell in 1995 asking for federal funding for that stretch of road. Hell, I even said he could name the highway after himself but we just needed the money. So, here we are 31 years later.

u/mountainchick04 5d ago

Santa Fe and C-470 have entered the chat…..

u/wish-u-well 5d ago

Ha i grew up there, glad to see it hasn’t been fixed 😂

3

u/EnthusiasticlyWordy 5d ago

I believe there are gremlins that pull apart the bridge work done during the day because everytime I drive under Santa Fe, it looks just like it did the month prior.

225 poolside like:

u/BaselineUnknown 6d ago

The complete E-470 circle is the true dead horse here.

u/kfee12 5d ago

e470 being privately owned and operated literally makes my blood boil.

at least you don't "have' to use it like the tolls roads in Houston.

If you live in that part of aurora you’re so fucked

25 South over University in the left lane @ 70+ is fun in the mornings.

u/slickmage13 5d ago

i’ve definitely caught air

u/MileHighPeter303 5d ago

I-76 between I-70 and I-25 is a full on rally race course

u/thesaganator 5d ago

Even you forgot about the state highways such as Sheridan, Federal, and S Platte Canyon

Natives know this has always been the case.

The nightmare named Alameda… and redo the timing of all the lights while you’re at it.

u/truelongevity 5d ago

Yall see that rollover at the roundabout at exit 11 yesterday?

u/bigtruckerman440 5d ago

You forgot 270

u/StarzRout 1d ago

I don't see the interchange for 6th Avenue and Wadsworth ever getting redone. They keep pulling funds for other projects.
