Yo bro I'm not good either. Don't take scooters seriously and just have fun.

But if you make good parts and want to start a company, go for it!

If you have to ask if there is a place for you in this sport, then you obviously don't enjoy it.

every day when you ride a scoot, make it fun, dont just try to do tricks all the time... for instance if you ve been at a skatepark 4 a couple of hours and your board, dont go home try drop in while your bum iz sitting on the deck its hella fun hhahaha

I think you're into this hobby for the wrong reasons. Fame, notoriety, and notability are bad reasons to do any hobby, including scooter riding. I learned this the hard way. Don't do that.

Do you enjoy riding scooters, even though you're bad at riding? Awesome. Stick around for awhile. Practice and improve.

Do you want to get better for the sake of personal fulfillment? Put in the hard hours of practice. If you're doing it for yourself, practice is its own reward even without much result.

If you're interested in design - you might want to think about engineering as a career. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with scooters, but a lot of the "cool stuff" about product design, fabrication, etc. are a huge part of mechanical engineering. If that's the part of scooters that you like, consider it.

tldr: do what you like, because you like it. don't do what you don't like.

im not saying that he deserves any atention im trying to say that there is a place for people in scootering that arent good at tricks. jordan isnt very good at riding (i know him personaly) but just about everybody has heard about him. i guess what i am trying to say is that scootering isnt all about just riding, you should just try to have fun and try not to make scootering too serious after all it is just a little kids toy...

hell yeah
i have a nac for engineering and because of that i always mod scooters and it has actually got me somewhere whereas no-one i knew seen it as possible. you can do it if you really set yourself to it but you gotta want it not just fall into a backup or doing it because you feel inadequate.
