I don't think a lot of people realise how much work goes into organising a competition. Like Oliver Laver said there's ambulances and permissions as well as marketing, judging and a whole lot more to do. Having an organisation which co-ordinates all this means more competitions can be run every year and riders who do want to compete get more chances to do so. They're building structure around the sport so everyone who wants to compete can do so on a level playing field and it's great for the sport. It means that it will start to get taken more seriously, eventually we'll get into the X-Games and get worldwide recognition for our best riders.
If you're a street rider or don't like to compete then it doesn't affect you negatively at all, it means that more people are riding and inventing tricks. More people are watching competitions and companies have a larger audience so they're making more parts and pushing the technology forward and above all you get to watch more people riding and get more inspiration to ride yourself. They're not controlling everything, if you want to host a Street Jam without the ISA, host it! Nobody's stopping you.
Also champs are streaming from ISA facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...95231747.86636.258341997521188&type=1&theater

I can't wait until our sport gets to the X-Games and takes a massive shit and dies out. That way it will be way more connected like it used to instead of all these little fucking kids getting into it because its the new best thing. I went to a skatepark the other day and a kid had a Shaun White scooter, full pads he looked like a moron. He could briflip and 360 briflip. He didn't even know what a barspin was...what the fuck.
it affects me negatively because they are trying to get "street"

if there trying to do contest shit then do contest shit.
if people wanna do a point world tour blah blah i dont care go for it its chill but please dont tell me who the best street rider is when the voting was complete bullshit. maybe if they would of blown it up and gotten massive votes and told everybody to vote before this date blah blah maybe but come on. the SR awards are more legit than this.

I understand you too. The ISA was setup to bring more recognition to the sport and have a long term future for the sport like skateboarding Bmx surfing motocross football tennis f1 cars in fact every other sport has.
Just because football has FIFA as a governing body it doesn't affect you having a game at the park or having a local tournament at all. But it gives people who want to compete world wide competitions to attend with STD marking rules and it also keeps things polite between manufacturers and gets them
Working together. MADD generally avoid razor run events and vice versa so independantly run is the only way. The guys running it work really hard to get everything set up and take no wages, all the manufacturers that are part of it put money and time in too. I have spent around £1000 of my own money on supporting this years world champs and the ISA to help the sport too.
To anyone moaning it has cost you nothing to setup ISA and won't affect your riding at all, this sport has so many haters in the sport it's crazy. ISA is just helping the sport grow and giving people the chance to compete world wide to be the best if they want too and raising the profile showing everyone scooters aren't just for little kids they can be made to do amazing things by some skilled riders.
