To this day im still the only person that rides a scooter at my local cement. If someone on the street says something..who cares.. If its someone in a park though, that you go to a lot. Earn your respect in one of two ways. Ride hard and impress them. Or Ride hard and impress them, followed by throw down with whoever it is thats talking shiit. I chose the second one. And I know everyone at my local now, im even friends with the guy i stomped out 3 years ago.. so yea. You want respect for anything you do, You gotta earn it.
