I think having a scooter box contest would really help out a lot. Make more teams with your friends, make T-Shirts, ride parks instead of your garage when you film or at least build some decent shit, tape more street tricks but definitely spend time at the parks and show fagulaters that it isn't a joke. Every park I go to I get at least 3 or more kids saying that they didn't know scooterers could even do those tricks. It doesn't have to be a backlip tailwhip, just a double tailwhip on flat normally drives those fuckers crazy. Talk to the kids. If they are dicks then just keep riding or get your boys to role up there and stomp any fucker who talks shit (Over Show style yo). Always bring a friend. It sucks having to ride AZ parks alone out here most of the time. Dont just air out of a qaurter to flat, bust out on the ledges or clear a box jump. And as Andrew Broussard would stay, you gotta be steezy with your tricks. Try not to ride with gay ass colored wheels unless your a P.I.M.P like Matt Patte who luckily stumbled upon some bomb ass pink and purple wheels. You can't ride them shits unless your a savage like him though. join a fraternity like me and bring scootering to the entire college system. RUSH BETA THETA PI! make a tema video and premier that shit with skateboard footage and jackass shit. How do you think the over show got big where I am. no one at my high school showed any disrespect after our first video. They were more impressed with some lame ass scooter tricks than the insane skate tricks that were going on. fucking switch flips over comadore, pro skater style. mke friends with a biker and a skater and maybe a rollerblader at your local park because they will back your ass up when another person in their sport comes up to them and starts talking shit about scootering. It's all about networking and establishing connections. Anyone in Arizona can call me up and we can ride. I drive two hours every three days to go to a skatepark. If you dont feel you aren't good enough to not get shit on at the parks then find someone who can do a tailwhip and head out there or have him teach you how to do tricks. Why the fuck am I typing so much. Dont quit because you friends quit or you dont have a place to ride unless you really just find scootering pointless. Post good videos up on other skate websites or on your myspace and make friends with skateboarders and bikers. Have bitches come cheer you on while your ride because even if you have a bad day at the park, at least you and the other kids riding will know that you're going home to some sweet ass pussy. Bitches dig the scootering line at parties. It helps to have a video that you can show them and use it as an excuse to bring them to your house. And if your into dudes, then you're better off showing them some water skiing videos (with lots of dudes in it). DOnt wear full pads unless you're crazy like Josh and Ricky and Chris etc. If you have a good tema then talk to guys at local skateshops and get them to show your video in the shop. Once RVM3 comes out I already have guy who ownes a shop on the main street who wants me to brong the video by so he can have it playing alllllllllllll daaaaaaaaaaaaay. I would by a video of some kids if they were busting phat on some of those soap shoes. well I have to go to class but I would definitely say a bunch of more pointless shit if I had time. This wont help anyone but further show that I make no sense and I'm just here to confuse people and keep things a little interesting. AZ session this weekend again. Call me if you wanna make a trip down here. (925) 348-5003
