I answered no.In my city there are a lot of people who just hate extreme lifestyle and xtreme sports, except them, the most of what I call the alternative youth, respect my riding, my desire, my tricks, cuz I am the only and the best scooter rider on at the least 1/6 of Earth's surface called Russia. I sometimes think that I was born wrong place at the wrong time, sorry can't explain it in English. I truly believe that it is my Mission - to raise a scooterriding subculture in Russia, Now I am on the first step to do it, it would be just super nice if somebody would help me....
Oh yeah, scooter riding is only about 7-8 years old, everything is ahead, even now I don't think this sport is gay. for example skateboarding in 60s was truly gay.
