my friend got into scootering around february last year
for about a month we were just hucking stairs until we saw a vid of coedie and we were like omfgawdjanwjf
and went to a skatepark lol
I've been lurking around forums since the start. i remember talking to martin kimbell when he learned whips. scooters always intrigued me, but i never actually rode. just watched all the OG's progress. finally in 03, ricky (back when he was an ok person) convinced me to actually start riding. 1 year of doing no footers and stuff. then ryan whetstone released his summer 04 video. saw it and decided i HAD to learn tailwhips. spent over 2 months trying, and in october of 04, i finally learned them, and the rest is history
so i guess i can say i've been around since day one
meh ive been really riding for about 5 years.. but it was like ride once a month and do like 1 foot manuals up and down the street, so its more like 3 years since thats when i stated going to the skatepark aad trying to progress.
