yeah wtf, thats cool this guy did an article on you but he missed the main interest in the story... That you scooter and that scootering is a major growing sport in the world.

WHY IS EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TO IGNORANT TO NOTICE THAT SCOOTERING IS A NEW FENOM????

P.S. that guy is a horrible writer.

I'm going to be kind of blunt here, but honestly. There's less than 2000 good, active scooter riders in the US. Freestyle scootering is growing at a very slow rate, skateboarding and BMX ane still blowing it out of the water. The Razor isn't going to come back because of some new "sensation" we're maknig. If you're in this sport because you want to see it get popular again, sorry it's not going to happen. We're the very definition of niche.

haha yeah thats pretty Gnar. the only time ive been in the newspaper for riding is when me and my friend went to a local town to get redbull at like 3:30am.. then we had to go home in a police car and it said,"One juvinial was on rollerblades and the other on a scooter. The scooter rider was not wearing a helmet." yeah :\
P.S My Birthday was on the 17th ^^
 
its not progressing as fast as skateboarding ever did.

were just getting a few sellouts here and there and it might seem like it, soon though.. veeery soon.

Scootering will never get big but thats not important, whats important is to enjoy it reguardless of popularity. And 2000???? lmao i would guess theres less than 200 REAL scooter riders in the U.S. maybe not even that. NOT including 6 year olds that come to skateparks but are afraid to drop down a bank.

Lol. he sigged it too.
Anyways Scootering is tiny over here in the UK, there are max 50-100 serious freestyle scooter riders here, only 2 go to the parks I do...
The problem is that everyone else in skateparks has the image of "Little kid on plastic Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£10 scooter blocking ramps" in there heads when they see us.
The only way we're gonna fix that is by getting better until they think "Little kid on razor pro briflip to airout on the vert" every time they see us...

How can you say that? scootering can explode if we make it explode. I for one am going to dedicate my life to that...

No we cant. We can try. but it will never be big. Theres too many 5 year olds going to skateparks snaking everybody and when they do it ppl just think. "wow all these scooterers are retarded." At our local like atleast a quarter of the park is 5 year old scooterers that just go back and fourth giving no skaters a turn to go. all it does is make people pissed. theyll even tell us how they hate the park bc of that.
