i think that people could take a note from martin kimbell and realize we have some distance to cover on rails and ledge maneuvers. id rather do a nollie backside lip to fakie than a quad whip. period.

i think thats exactly what we need to do. skaters think that all the flippy tricks we do are so easy. rails and combos would get scooters waaaaay more respect from anybody.

yeah i was talking to my skater friend who said he ollieed this 9 set and i said that i had tailwhipped it and he went crazy, like seriously blown away by it.

his mates knew that he ollied it and were like pretty wowed but telling them about the tailwhip they were speachless.

the guy who ollied it was saying all this shit about scooters been easy and stuff earlier on in the day but now he has mad respect for me.

this is true, at the skatepark a skater asked if i could do this downrail so i did it (learned it right then and there, 3 tries). later i was doing inwards and noone really said anything, but the skater kept asking me to do the downrail lol.

^ ditto(kind of)...a few times when theyre are serious skaters around doing the 8 set at my park and actually doing cool shit, ill do the rail and they'd flip out, since its closer style to what THEY do...it seems everyone wants us to come up with our own tricks and shit, but when we do what THEY DO, they think its sick.

yeah at my local we have this 8 stiar handrail with a ledge on the side, and there was a bunch of skaters around and I feebled the ledge, whip out, and they were like "whaaaaat" but then I walked back up, hopped on my scooter and bs boardslid the handrail and they were all like "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! that did not just happen! a handrail on a scooter?! there's no way"

since the day I picked up my scooter, I've always said "I want to try and progress the grinding side of scootering, because that's what seems to be lacking the most" and obviously it's a lot more technical now, with guys like mckeen blowing people away daily, but I really think there is sooo much more we could do with handrails/rails and ledges in general.

Definately need more people riding pegs..
Like what ryan young and shtt used to do..
They aren't hard, but people really need to explore, and practically no one rides them anymore...

We can't impress bmxers around here...
Coedie has already done every trick, so its all been done.
But at my local all the skaters loved it when i did the 10 rail :)
All banging their boards and that, felt good :)

Bmxers tend to be impressed when I do tech stuff like manuals and sliders and stuff. I did a smith-feeble-180 and these street bmx dudes gave me mad rep.
