dude cheddie that is seriously awesome, especially about the skatepark letting you in
to help out, I encourage all the younger people that I'm friends with to ride, and they all are really excited about it and are trying to get good. I hold little trick tip seminars at the park when there are tons of scooter kids there and I'll have like 20 kids around me while I teach them how to like, 360 or tailwhip haha. it's really exciting to watch this sport grow in my area because I literally used to be the only one. I would walk into parks with my scooter and I could hear people laughing, but now days when I walk into my local all my friends say they hear people say "there he is! there's the scooter kid!" or "that scooter guy is crazy" haha
