Anyone here hide the fact that they scooter from their friends? 50% of my friends are chill with scootering so i can ride with them but the other half has no idea that i do it and have told me on many occasions that if i scootered that they would not be friends with me anymore. The problem is all the kids who hate it also ride all these bitchen spots and i would want to go with them but would rather tide the scooter ya feel? Imm hella confused

bleh most of the time I don't tell people just because either I have no reason to tell them or because I don't think they'd care. Like obviously my friends know but I don't really advertise the fact via social media

Yeah if they're going to end a friendship over you doing something that you really enjoy, they're someone you shouldn't be friends with in the first place.

No decent person will think any less of you for riding a scooter. If someone has a problem with me riding I really don't care to be around them anyways.

If that's a real thing (which I'm assuming it is since you made it a thread) then those people are only your acquaintances. Why are you spending time around other people who are shallow enough to tell you how to live and how to personally make yourself feel good? Are you all 10 years old? Do whatever feels right. Next time you get shit, here's how you respond to 2 possible scenarios.

- I ride a scooter because its fun, not to be cool, not to be part of some trend, but because it's a hobby I personally enjoy that feels good to me. What do you do? Oh, nothing? Just video games? Why do you play video games? I think they're pretty gay... What makes you think that the hobbies that are suited for yourself are better than the hobbies that are suited for myself? You think I'm not capable of recreating your own generic and unoriginal hobbies? You're a hypocritical loser.
- (alternative) oh you play sports/are in this/ do this. You have your reasons for doing it? Well, I'm a different person with a different life, and have my own different reasons for doing what I do. I do it because I want to.

- I ride a scooter because its fun, not to be cool, not as part of some trend, but because it's a hobby I personally enjoy that feels good to me. Oh, you skateboard/bmx? Why? Do you do it to be cool? Oh, you do it for fun? What makes you better than me again? I thought you just said riding was for fun, it's not a competition. You're a hypocrite to ride and say otherwise.

Thats really well said. I have close friends and i have friends at school. The ones at school are really douchey but they are the best i have for now cuz all my other friends are gonna be senopiors and chilling with them wont work out cuz of the different lunch times. But i will take all this into consideration and have fun with scootering and do it for myself

I don't tell people I scooter unless there is a reason to or if they bring it up. I wouldn't really say I'm closeted, I'd rather have people find out I scooter by just running into them while I'm out riding rather than going around telling everyone I ride a scooter because where I live most people shun anything thats not skating or surfing.
