content is the problem. But in skate mags, the content is weak. I admit a lot of riders or video editors / photographers would have a lot to say. Simply in Paris, there is so much to say. The scooter scene has a permanent increase of level. In the DC area, in Woodinville, New york, Australia, California, Philadelphia and Switzerland, it looks the same. That's all, Eric ostrom is right, there are enough riders and this and next years are going to be even sicker compared to the two last ones. And anyone who wants NO mediatized scooter can say it and tell there point of views in articles. I don't know if you notticed, but some riders really hate the way to get famous though medias, they just think of being original and think they get famous like this. That's all, if you show what you got, then you get famous. Photos and concrete riding is the way for proofs. Speachless, then go for your big riding.
I remember the days there was no SR so i won't be so pessimistic.
(going to ride, so that cuts everything hopefully!)
