scooterflips came from BMX their i read somwhere in ride that some really old school guy was trying bikeflips in the 80's and bikeflip were already done before scooterflip ... although techially a bike is differant from a scooter so scooterfilp were a variation of bikeflips ...

i <3 scoot flatland, it really fun

Who cares though. Whoever did the first scooterflip on a scooter (Jordan Miller maybe?) wasn't thinking 'oh yeah remember that dude in the 80s that tried bike flips ill try one with my scooter', he just wanted to flip his scooter. We didn't steal any tailwhips, barspins ect... if they did them first, whats it matter, we both have headsets so its possible on both.

good point brian. i never thought of it like that. its that way for scootering i guess but bmx is super different. they were copieing thier favorite mx riders so i thought scootering would be the same

im sure people say its lame because they cant do them. i agree it could be lame but if you do it with style and ake it look good its can be cool. i usd to stand on my brake and rotate the scooter around my back. its fun but i think what we really need is a style of our own. people have said that before. and its true. we shouldnt copy of of bmx and skateboards. think about it. the only really origanal tricks we have are the scooter fakie, the bri flip, and the scooter flip. everything else is from bmx or skate. we need our own style. something thats not possible on a bike or board. skating has the kick flip. bmx has the foot jam. we need our own trick thats only done on scooter that alot of people know. if you ask a random kid what a kickflip is thell robbly know. same goes with footjam if you know anything about bmx. we have the bri. ask some random kid what a bri flip is. he'll look at you like your a homo alien from outer space. we could do so much with flatland its not even funny. to me its one of the cooler styles of anything. its always smooth, its always flowy. well theres my speech. have fun understanding my mid school mind

who gives a shit if we take tricks from other sports?

scootering is a combination of skating biking and rollerblading. therefore, we have to use elements from each in order to do stuff on a scooter. if you wanna get technical, when skating first started, skaters stole moves from surfing. so who cares? just ride your scooter, and stop worrying what other people think about your recreational activity.

i agree but what moves came from rollerblading? besides back flip and front and no hander

not really tricks form blading i think, more of the activity. think about it. we got the bars from bikes, the pushing from skaters, and the wheels from rollorblading, its a combination of them all.
