[jeff26]

gets brought up alot most people say its lame

 

[me1]

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

the only really origanal tricks we have are the scooter fakie, the bri flip, and the scooter flip

and fingerwhips and tailwhip rewinds, and probably most bar/whip combos, and superman deck grabs, and probably a little bit more that i can't thikn of right now

but whips and barspins come from bmx.

actual peg spinning and stuff on scooters if mega hard, but flat like warwick and barrett do is sick. like scooterfakie to fakie to cab to fakie half cab oppo bar out, stuff like that is gnar.

finger maybe. but we got the whip from bmx and just complicated it. we combined tricks of theres. tail rewinds is just another variation, and superman deck grabs are our superman seat grabs. you dont have many solid scooter first tricks. really the bri is almost not ours. im talking about tricks that are OURS, not tricks adapted to fit us. i mean how we really nedd our own style, our own things. instaed of adapting. speech number 2

umm, no, we did em first, so technically they are ours because we didn't see bmx do it first and then copy. And who gives a fuck if a lot of our tricks come from biking and skateboarding, the point of a scooter is to be inbetween a skateboard and a bike, so you're gonna have bike tricks and skate tricks too (like grinds)..

[Corey]

we have bars and a deck that rotate...what else are we supposed to do lol seriously...

 

[grantcarlin]

how about the brake push? cant do that on bikes. actually you can push the levers on the brakes, anyway lol who cares

 

[AX3D]

Only if our wheels were bigger.

i can still do whip lash's on 100mm wheels, biggeer wheels arent nessecary unless pushing for more speed

 

[Griffin]

i made a thread about this a bit ago... oh well

 

[Jon Reyes]

i think the way I, dan barrett, and matt pate ride is considered flatland, ( scooterfakie combos and what not)

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
