what to say to haters?

[mikascooters]

i always get called gay and all of that by bikers and skaters because i scoot. it will never stop me from riding, i enjoy it too much. the stupid thing is half of the bmx'ers who hate have £10 bikes and can't do simple tricks like a 2 step. what do you say to haters, cos its really annoying?

 

[ian h.]

i always say atleast im good at what i do but i dont really have to use any come backs because there isnt a lot of haters in colorado... just be mature about your comebacks...

 

[mikascooters]

well the problem is, here in the uk, everyone hates

 

[Maz.]

I think there was allready a thread on this but yeahh, it sucks when you would be better on the shit their on and theyre taking the piss out you.

 

[Joe Riley]

After you get to a certain point in riding, people stop hating. Just deal with it, saying shit back won't do anything.

 

[Arnor Smari]

Joe Riley is right, people start respecting you once you get pretty dialed and can do some good tricks

 

[AliAnderson]

They all know me as this crazy scooter kid, so there pretty chilled with me.

Turn it around on them- they only do it because they have an audience- no one hates when they are just by themselves.

Hater: " You're gay"
You: "Maybe"

Hater: "You're a bunch of ------s"
You: "yup"

Hater: "you guys don't belong here"
You: "Possibly"

Just agree with whatever crap they throw at you- they won't know what to do because they're looking for a comeback/fight/ get under your skin deal.

Once you take away their "power" in front of the group they'll just go away since there is no Show for their little minions.

ya just agree with them but people rarely say anything to me now they used to but since ive just stuck with it they know it wont do anything and im actully friends with some of em now ahha

People say anything to me I have a few favourites.
Put on a really strong Spanish accent and say "I sorry I no speak lots English"
If they ask if you're gay wink and ask for their number
Stare at them
Or my personal favourite:
Please leave me alone or I will take that skateboard, beat you at a game of skate, embarrass you in front of your hardcore 7 year old friends, them shove it so far up your homosexual ass that it is touching that tiny little knob on your forehead.

the truth, he speaks it!

i usually dont even acknowledge haters. i just do my own thing and let them do theirs

 

[Jamie Gantz]

Broccoli has the right idea, if you're blatantly nice in response to their hating comments, it will just make them more mad and then it's hilarious.

 

[KyrinBingaman]

If there bikers hating just wreck them in a game of bike haha (if possible)

 

[Robert]

if anyone calls me gay for riding a scooter i just ask them how a sport determines my sexual preference and they dont usually have a response for that

but i dont usually get shit at my locals

 

[Rob.]

Honestly, you scooter. You're going to get shit from pretty much anybody who's ever been annoyed by another kid on a scooter. It's a fact of scootering.

Best thing to do is get really REALLY good at scootering, so when someone goes to shit on you, you whip out tricks that blow their fucking minds.

Realizing that most of the kids that hate scootering, actually suck at their sports, is another thing that'll bolster your confidence.

You could also do what I did and get moderately good at every sport. I'm a really good inliner, I can skateboard... a little bit, and I can flow bikes with no problem. This way when they attempt to shit on you, you can ask them for their equipment (for lack of a better term), ride it, and then they'll have no reason to shit on you anymore.

Also, search. If I had a dollar for every "what to do about haters" thread I'd be rich.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

ignore it. strait up. eventually they either give up or try harder, in which case when it comes to ignorant little fags i dont mind using a small amount of violence to get the to shut up.

 

[Dustin Nooner]

"do something about it" hahah.

ignore it, but the ones who wont let go, they are gonna continue till they get shut up, thats just how some people are.

 

[Aaron]

Don't even look at them.
Once you start ignoring, you'll do it without thinking, and you end up just filtering it out.
Hate used to get me down a fair bit, now I forget it even happened 30 seconds after it does.

Exactly. All they want is attention.

 

[Tylerr.]

Don't let it bother you.
