what does everyone think should be done to make scooters big?

[Matt Dibble]

one central comp would be cool, like in 2 years or something, give everyone plenty of notice so everything can get worked out ahead of time. Make it so its a huge event like even have the Aus riders come over. Just pick a park, talk to the owner, set it up for the not-so-near future. Then make sure plenty of advertising goes out to it, like commercials in the area, there could be like funds and shit. I think some centralized comp would do alot to help, and making sure it was well covered by news and shit.

Although most parts in that plan wont happen for 5-10 years, there could still be a centrailized comp somewhere with plenty of notice to make sure everyone who rides (or doesnt) makes it out there

Yeah because my parents would so let a 15 year old fly to america by myself to goto a scooter competition and stay at some kids house his never met. I wish +i have no job so i have no money...

get back into the X games..

 

[gazza707]

get back into the X games..

yea that would giv the sport more coverage.. and it can show alot of people wat u can really do on a scooter, and it can be seen world wide...

 

[slottje]

it would b mad

 

[Jake Carlyon]

Yeah but would make us look tottaly gay. If we were to have a scooter competition right after something like the BMX we would look shity and boring compared to there huge tricks. The community isnt good enough to compete in the x-games or such competitions as that.

 

[Tyler Ha1e]

i agree, there is only a handful of people that would really be "competing" like terry, kc, brian, really good people. if people like me entered, they would have no chance at all. it would be fun tho.

the only thing that would make it look bad is when people do fly-out tricks and dont clear air boxes and stuff. I really think skateboard park is really gay they run around and only ride their board 1/2 the time. and people like watching that...i think? scooters are alot like bmx though. people would be constantly riding not running around carrying their scooter. lol

 

[Stanio]

yup

But the thing is some pro bmx rider could get on a scooter and throw a 3 whip like it was nothing. Scooters have only being out like 8 years? Dont expect to get much coverage for a couple of more years yet. Then when we FINALLY get some coverage there will be so many scooter riders with SOOOO much experience under their belts they will be throwing so much better tricks. Terry's only being riding for 4-6 years? And his the best in the sport. Imagine what he will be capable after 10-15 years. That goes for all of us. Dont try to rush things.

yea but what if it did it first like scooting the bmxing cause you no
scootering=bmxing
snowboarding=skateboarding
rollerblading=free running
theres all ways something the same

 

[Dustin Nooner]

skating had been around like at least 10 years before they had a real legit mag..most people here dont have the money to start a full scale magazine to reach everyone and most of the time it wouldnt get very far..maybe you shouldnt suck so much, i havent gotten shit about riding a scooter for like a year.

ur one lucky little nigger. I get shit all the time

I think yea if we were in mags or on TV. u all see x-games awhile back when some biker did a flair ina huuge half pipe and snapped the scoot? i forgot the dudes name he invented the flair KEVIN ROBINSON there we go.

 

[Distorded Image]

one trick i thought of, was the body varial. like how the guy did it on the moto bike. but we'd be vertical, not horizontal in the air. but catching it would be hard...

You do not make any sense at all.

If we went first in the x-games we would still get shown up BIG time. A quote you guys may like. "Rome didn't get built in a day."
