Riding for me has always been a way to connect with others, I rarely ride alone, but as time passed by, more and more of my friends have quit, so I rarely ride now. I probably will not quit for a very long time, but without local people to ride with, I lack motivation to ride.
This is the worst feeling ever,when someone you used to ride with all the time quits one day. I really hope that my buddies keep riding. Are there any decent riders left?I haven't ridden for nearly three months. About two years ago everyone rode. We would all meet at our local skatepark like every weekend and ride from like morning until it was dark. Slowly people began to quit or go into other sports like skating. Since less people were around I began to ride less and less. When everyone rode I was improving everyday but as I began to ride less my skills depleted. Now I am really bad. I can't go things anymore like stairs, if I'm slightly scared I just won't do it. So because of this I don't feel motivated to ride. I'll go to my local now and then but I don't feel the same passion for it anymore. I don't think I'll stop completely, one day it might come back.

I like this. Having gone to NYC without my scooter three times was always so boring and painful. As much as I got to do some really cool things, it was immensely painful to see wonderful spots that I've always wanted to sesh. My parent will never understand why I was always so angry and bored in the city because they don't see the world through the eyes that we have developed since scootering.. Plus, by being able to ride new urban architecture (aka spots) you haven't experienced yet opens up a whole new level of tourism. That's my favorite kind of tourism.
Same kinda topic: when did you guys stop feeling odd riding your scooter? I feel like a goofball haha
thats because your in a city with a scooter scene, plus, your better than the average rider. it turns out, people get really mad if you break into a sewage ditch to get some clips. very very mad. if people don't see some mad crazy shit out of you at the park, you get snaked and yelled at and have knifes pulled on you. whenever im not in a park, or a good spot, i hate riding. the looks i get from people, and the things i get yelled at me are so asinine its mindboggling.i dont think about what other people think when i'm riding my scooter.
i go to the park every weekend and im the only scooter rider in my town and i have never had one rude or asinine yelled at me.... everyone is cool the worst thing that has happened is that a guy said i waxed the rail to much... and i did i have had people yell things at me from their cars when they drive by but they are never ruder than "SCOOTER!"thats because your in a city with a scooter scene, plus, your better than the average rider. it turns out, people get really mad if you break into a sewage ditch to get some clips. very very mad. if people don't see some mad crazy shit out of you at the park, you get snaked and yelled at and have knifes pulled on you. whenever im not in a park, or a good spot, i hate riding. the looks i get from people, and the things i get yelled at me are so asinine its mindboggling.
