What got you into scootering?

So... What made you wanna ride these beasts?

My friend invited me to the park once. I brought my Razor A. Got hooked on the sport

I got my board stolen so I murdered my old A out black and started trying tailwhips then got into it,

Friend came over with an OLD a and i rode it i liked it and he had an extra one and i bought it for 5 bucks

I saw a brand new Old A model at a garage sale when I was 11, and it was so fun to just mess around at the skatepark with it. I didn't even know there was people doing anything worth watching on it until I was like 13. I just rode, discovered the sport by myself.

I used to screw around on scooters a lot when I was little, mostly after watching the RVM2 dvd that came with my friend's electric scooter about a million and a half times. Never really got too into it though and it fizzled out. Then about a year ago I was browsing ebay looking for longboard wheels I think, and I came across the razor ultra pro and it was the greatest thing I had ever seen lol. So I ordered one and started actually getting into scootering.

Some dude named Troy at Phillipsburg skatepark when I was riding MTB. I still always see him there when I go there but he skateboards mostly now but still can bust tricks out on other peoples scooters.

Also there have been others of these threads.

I rode with my neighbors on stock old A's a long time ago, then I saw Matt Ogle's first sponsor video back in like 2005:

Got a scooter for Christmas once, started jumping things on it and going off little ramps. I though I was inventing a new sport (this was in 05). Later on I bought a pro model and saw RVM3 and realized what I could learn and I took it from there.

I don't take It seriously at all though, I barely even try. It's been like 4 years since I really started doing actual tricks and I still suck.

 

[Alex.]

I got bored and landed a tailwhip and then saw other people at my local doing flips and i was like WTF so then i was motivated lol

 

[Bill]

I had a turn on one of the little kids MGP's and had heaps of fun. So then i went out and bought one for myself.

[Kroto]

Going to be honest here, It was a fad at my school and all my friends were doing it so i bought a scooter and till this day i still ride and all my mates quit long time ago.

I first got into it as a joke when I was 15, then after that ended another friend bought a pro with inward bars, I rode my Wheely from sharper Image and we cruzed, after awhile he got whips, I got whips, we got 180s ect... now its 7 months later and we are going hard, im not planning to stop until after college
