Simple facts you are going to face if you ride a scooter or anything in extreme sports.
#1. You WILL fall, Face it. It's a part of ridding. You WILL get hurt. If you cannot accept this fact then quit and go play video games all day like a queer.
#2. You WILL be made fun of for ridding a scooter. Except it, It comes with the territory of ridding one. Suck it up and be a man about it.
#3. You WILL break parts and have to replace them, My suggestion is get to know EVERY part of the scooter as if it were the back of you hand. Know it like second nature. This will help you in repairs and inovation and experimintartion with your scooter.
#4. Use common sense when at the skatepark, LOOK before you go ALL ways. I have been ridding 6 years and have been in only ONE collision at the skatepark. Don't just assume people will move. be a deffensive ridder. Look all ways before droping in or going.
#5. Be a respectfull ridder, Don't be an ass hole to anyone else just because they ride something different. They get the same satifaction and enjoyment out of what they ride as well as you do. Have respect.
#6. Be the best ridder you can be, Worrie about yourself not what others are doing with thier tricks or whatever. The only person you should want to be better than is yourself. Improvment takes time so practice practice and when all else fails.. PRACTICE some more.
