Changing the name of our sport

Someone post this on TRW, see what they say

i still like smx

EFS sounds ok, one problem though

Extreme=adjective
Freestyle=another adjective...
Scootering=verb

adjective+adjective+verb, doesnt really suit imo

SMX doesn't make sense since our method of scootering isn't "motocross", and the name "SMX" is already taken. plus BMX and SMX together sounds like an imitation and you'd get so much hate lmao.

"SX" sounds like sex or "Essex" (ironically where Terry Price lives)

companies like Razor and MaddGear market the sport as "Scootering", which means they're not gunna "budge" when it comes to changing the name of the sport.

don't be offended when i say this, but it seems that anyone who insists on changing the name of the sport they've been a part of for 5 years lacks pride

Extreme and Freestyle are kind of redundant, at least in this situation. Just keep saying you ride scooters, because that's what it will come down to in the end. If you tell someone you "EFS/FS/SX/SMX/ESX" you'll ultimately have to tell them that you ride scooters because no one will know what you are talking about.

i like the name scooters
but i never thought the sport would get to a serious level.
thats why i started, theres not as much pressure in scooter-ing like there is in skateboarding and stuff

no matter what our name is, we still ride a ------y scooter

just ride your god damn scooter.
no one cares if you are doing flyout/boxjump shows at the childrens museum with a couple of old BMX pros.
