Of course Jordan's views will differ between personal opinion and what he posts on a blog. Blogs are objective, opinion is subjective.
I personally felt the same about the Colombia video. Those guys can do way more. Feel like they found the cheap rack and call quits on the riding

I don't think you can call the blog post objective as scooter videos are all subjective, quantifiying what is amazing riding will differ from person to person, if jordan didn't think it was amazing he didn't have to say it, but that is up to him. i thought the whole point of blogs was to post your views/keep people updated on given topics.
anyway i agree that the Columbia trip was definitely not their best riding and that the other trips had better riding in




also:
doing fakie manuals long before anyone else, with the possible exception of alex steadman
shows that people with lower bars can still have style, wish i saw more bk footage these days, i remember before i even started riding watching his videos and just being amazed.

This is exactly what I mean.
If it was 'Jordan's personal interest in scooter videos' blog (subjective) he might not have posted it. But because Inside holds the interests of the community in mind (objective) he posted it.

I'm not on about him posting it though, he said that the riding was amazing in the blog and then said he was disappointing with it on here. I was just saying that wouldn't he post his thoughts on the issue when making the post or simply not commenting on whether the riding was amazing or not. I think the riding was good but for the most part not amazing compared to their other trips

/rant over (lol)
it just seems funny that out of the blue you come storming into scootgossip with this, not that it is wrong to do so i just found it funny.
also legit companies do exist, there are actually quite a few.

what is the scene like in Leicester (uk?) anyway??

just thought I'd have a rant and Leicesters scene has diminished and not going to lie I only know 8 people who still ride in Leicester and since I'm in college its been tough getting hold of legit people to ride with. All I ever wanted is to make videos and try doing my bit in changing the face of scootering for the greater good, but it looks like thats not going to happen since riders dont really take doing there bit seriously, and think it's all about how many competitions you have done, and how 'ISA' you can get it sucks bro, I get depressed over it in all honesty, it's not good brother

oOoooo and quite a few isn't enough the industry needs to have a vast majority of legit companies not a minority tbh just wish the industry could restart and get it right or something that would be pretty good tbf

nice any other tips?

Pretty much what he said except you can go any speed you want. Just make sure you have the right posture and balance before you carry on with the trick. If you don't balance out, you will try to jump and throw the whip but you will either fall back or fall forward. Don't only kiss the rail because you get no airtime to throw the whip, so get on the rail at least 2+ feet before the end, that will give you enough time to balance out and will give you an area to lift off of. Make sure that when you are in position to throw the whip, wait at least a split second to throw the whip or the deck will get caught on the rail. Another thing I like to do is to get on the rail completely sideways so I don't get held up or anything of the sort. Hope this helped you..... :)
