Scooter Moto Cross

[devinthedew2]

If you want to know skill try shredding bowls and landing ever big trick perfectly and doing grinds on every other quarter. Street is the same lines and runs are what we need, not fly out. I dont see why everyone says street is so much harder when hardly anybody rides vert/bowls. Alot of people think park riding is just flying out of quarters which it isnt. I respect great street riding as much as i do park. But alot of people are closed minded in this thread. And im in know way saying street riding isnt hard or creative but not everyone has good spots in there area.

so i love going super fast and carving around bowls, me and my freind are gonna have a death race tomorro in this 10ft bowl, were just gonna do time trials and set up a course. should be fun.

the best place have a death race would be AUS coloundra skatepark, that would be sick.

I don't think we should strive for skateboarding or bmx, scooters are lighter than bmx which opens up more technical street possibilities, but we also have handlebars which gives us an edge on skateboarding in park, maybe not flowing a bowl but actually using a spine or box jump as an obstacle. I like watching both as long as it's original, I don't think bmx park is bad at all because unlike half the scooter video "world first" videos, they don't do their world firsts flyout EVER. Nothing against bonner, but his 1080 no hander was flyout on resi, the first bmx 1080 no hander? todd meyn over a legit box jump. and maybe you see footjams left and right in bmx, but those guys like harry main and alex coleborn are completely innovating with shit like tailwhip to footjam whip and things like that. In that same light I was actually impressed by one of joe armstrongs videos when I saw a whip to bar to footjam instead of the same old footjam to whip.

Street or park, ride whichever you want, hell ride nothing but flat if you want, but we aren't gunna amount to anything without a little innovation and originality.

^thats what im saying.

This is 100% true. I watched the dew tour bmx the other day and just shut it off because it was so pathetic. Gary Young killed it harder than any body because he actually flowed and had originiality but i guess they just wanna see flashy dumb tricks.

To be honest Scooters are still small and still a joke compared to other action sports. What park video has impressed people the way Mckeens TPC part did? That was all over TCU and alotta other sites. Im tired of day videos and worlds firsts.

i know what you mean! Harry main, dennis enarson and Mark Webb did the same exact line, just different tricks. granted they were all incredibly insane it got repetitive.

and i didnt know Mckeen got on The Come Up! thats sick!!!

JUST RIDE. fuck's sake...

learn a trick in a park, and film it in the streets.

this thread has to many long posts that i cant even be bother reading, i just read the start and get the general idea.

Get out of here if you can't be bothered to read, there are good points being brought up man, show some respect.

Greg, thats exactly my "workflow". I've only ever learned tricks flat or at a park but when I land it the first thing I think about is: "What spot would be perfect for this trick?"

Sorry for the late input, but I was banned and this was something I was lurking harder than you can imagine...

This is sadly, true of our sport, I personally blame it on the fact that most new riders start out on the park scene and never leave, and the amount of older/experienced riders who put out on the street/are creative is so few that new videos of that sort rarely if ever come out, which is one reason why people should RIDE FUCKING STREET! The amount of videos that are being put out by people who are just doing nice and insane tricks on perfectly sculpted ramps is ridiculous, people need to spend more time lurking out spots to do a worlds first on instead of riding to one that everyone has seen and can do something on.

Thats just the beginning of my view

This is a good philosophy too. I end up hating every clip I film at my local even though it's a plaza style park so I just go to the park and do tricks to get them on lock.

Scootering is getting bigger everyday, but I think to make it self in Dew tour, x games and whatever else it needs to get a lot bigger riding wise. Street, park, whatever else, as watching multiple skate, bmx contests. It needs to be entertaining also. For example in bmx street when someone whips a set it cant be compared to a scooter whipping a set. Simply cause a scooter is too small, granite in a contest scooters would do more then just a whip, but the flips, spins and whatever else is entertaining to alot of people. All the pros in scootering are at a crazy level of riding but their needs to be more of them if the sport wants to be bigger. I think park riding is where scootering would be in future big contests, unless street riding got alot bigger but im just rambling now so yeah.

 

[GregRhoads]

I'm not telling people what to ride. I'm saying what I'd like to see.

Street on scooters is generally unimpressive. (to me. personal opinion)

unless you're brandon kilbury or something.

ya riding flat is way more impressive. I'm pretty sure everyone should want to ride like lil jon. he can get tech on rails and boxes and go big and not only jump a 20stair (eltoro) but 360 something never even thought of jumping by anyone else. but ya street isn't impressive at all, your right.
