"scooter motor cross" sounds gay asf


And I've snapped 2 ethic brakes so far, made my own brake that's lasted until now
That just makes me sad, scootering has been around for about 11 years, and all of a sudden some spoiled kids who have been riding for 2 years try to make a name for something that they're new to. It's like trying to put a mattress in a ziploc bag, they're only able to put 1/50 of the community in that bag, while they are persistent, they are ruining the
scooter movement at the same time. Look at skateboarding, it's not called some dumbass acronym, why should we give scootering a "name".

Anyone ever thought on here of making like a new genre of scootering? I mean we have park, street, dirt and flatland but where could we go from there? I mean it sounds stupid but maybe it would be cool. Like maybe downhill slide, I've done some big slides before (see wipeout thread) but maybe it would be fun to grow something like that. It's just an idea though. Any other ones?

Scootering should first of all be recognised as a sport.
secondly all these fags who think they're pushing scootering with "SMX" and so on should shut up.

THEN you can think if stuff like that

Yeah I wrote that on a break I rushed it. Anyways have u ridden a flavor?
Yeah I have, not my style of deck, I don't like how it whips but it feels really sturdy so that's one good thing. Plus I like decks on the lighter side (I ride a 21 Ethic Pandemonium).

Im moving on from a lindworm after the break(winter) I feel a lot better on my scooter i feel like im gonna commit more which is a problem for me. Usually it takes like week of basement riding for me to get my tricks back but i got most of them back in 1 day(whip heelwhip, barpsin, 180 ,360, front board back board) I do want something boxed something about my lindworm and rails does not feel right, its fine on my little flat rail but at a park its hard to get on. and you may say im crazy but im 99% sure my lindworm is some sort of defect because every other lindworm i rode seems lighter and spins better than mine mine feels fatter and has no balance. Another good thing is i have grown into my bars well im about 5,5 i think and i ride 22" with tilt scs and a spacer so idk there above dick but i like small bars for more pop. Is there a disadvantage to small bars of any sorts or just preference?

Small bars, more pop, but maybe uncomfortable riding long distances. It's all preference and bigger bars for some people can mean more pop because it just feels better. I'm 5'7ish and ride 23.25 if I remember correctly. Thinking of getting some new ones though.

Vex shoes are really nice. I'm actually wearing them right now. I find they're really hard to break in though. I prefer the new Elyts to them

And ooohh bby we're getting some activity up in this

I'd stick with 22, 21 doesn't feel nice at all. I have better bars with 22 bars. Also for grips like Helmeris but softer, I'd honestly recommend Envy's V2 grips. So nice.

idk truckdrivers or any barspin trick are really hard on these ones 22 wide is pretty nice though

Do you guys think that scootering build muslce, Im a pretty weak guy and i feel like a lot of tricks would be easier with some more muscle

Yeah a bit it isn't lifting weights. I mean, I have a pretty thin build but since I started scootering, I have more upper body strength; however, this is counteracted by constant sores. But yes, it does a bit. Also i went ful grammer nazi
