My friends all scoot and we all progressive differently depending on natrual ability. It has nothing to do with strength. One of my friend's been riding for a year and a half and ive been riding 4 months and i am better then him. On the other hand my other friend who has been riding a year is better then everyone, including another friend who has been riding for 2. So it really isn't based on that. Me and my friends are all different strengths and heights. But don't quit because your not amazing yet. If you like the sport just keep going at it. The only reason to quit a sport is if your not having fun. Even if all you can do is tail-whip and your having fun, You should keep at it.

i f_ckingg love scootering and won't quit.... my best trick is a dub whip flyout and its always just fun to go out to the park and ride my scooter with friends and maybe ill join a gym lmao but im too young the gym that i'd join where my dad goes, you have to be 14 =/ the only reason i thought it was about muscles cuz if you strong i though it would give you more arm strenght to lift the scooter higher

Your 12 and have been riding a year..... and your expecting to be pro status and sponsored...? please correct me if I'm wrong?

I'm 21 starting riding when I was 16 and it took me all of those years to get where I'm at today! You just need to chill and ride, develop skills and style. There's no rush little man.

Thanks for the recognition.

All riders progress differently, that means some riders learn tricks before
others and some get "better" quicker than others. Just like Eric said, just chill
and have fun! Thats what its really all about..... :)

Just because you can't do a lot of whip/physical stuff where you throw the scooter around doesn't mean you aren't progressing. Obviously a stronger person will be able to throw briflips/whips faster than a weaker person, but that doesn't mean the stronger person has more skill, or is better. Try progressing in other ways. I rode for nearly 2 years before I could do a doublewhip flat, yet I was doing flat/tech stuff that nobody else was doing at the same time.

Don't worry about progressing dude; just ride your hardest and it'll take care of itself.

if you want to progress i would just say get a helmet and knee pads and try some new harder stuff. dont be afraid to get hurt, no one progresses without an injury. and practice practice practice
