an asshole? lol this 17 year old posser skater is bullying a 13 year old scooter rider just because he rides a scooter so i stuck up for him, me and the rest of the locals at my park... its not being an -------- if hes going to bully someone younger than himself then i see nothing wrong with starting shit with him when were both 17 and his pussy ass was to scared to fight me. if it was a 13 year old skater talking shit on a 13 year old scooter rider then tahts their own drama but if a 6ft 5in 17 year old is bullying a 13 year old then somebody needs to step up top him and put him in his place. you might still have your opinions but i hate bullys to death and i dont stand for that ----- thats all im saying about this.

yea sorry i guess i wasnt trying to start anything but i wanted to explain the story a little better just so he knew that i wasnt like picking on a little skater or something, and im not much of one to keep going on about something if that doesnt change his opinion then thats his own opinion and it would really bother me much

Dazaric who started this thread answered his own question
"I used to skate. But I didn't see what was so wrong with scootering. So I just started scootering, enjoyed it and found it naturally easy for me."
That's why people think scootering is shit. It's really, really easy to do and you can't ignore that fact.
Try this mental exercise:
If you were to take three people with no experience and give one of them a Skateboard, give another a BMX and give one guy a scooter.
Then tell them that they have to do the following tricks:
The person on the scooter would have all three of those tricks nailed within minutes. Literally minutes. Without taking a single slam.
Whereas the skater and BMXer has a long,hard and painful struggle ahead before getting anywhere near completing the trick list.
As a result the BMXer and Skater must practice and learn, ask questions,take turns, and learn to respect others if they want to get a go in a skatepark.
Scooters do NONE of this. Any child - or pensioner - can pick up a scooter and start tearing around a skate park without learning rules, without taking turns and without taking a single slam.
Look at like this:
If you were a track runner in the Olympics and someone turned up with powered shoes that allowed him to skip and mince at 45 kph and were allowed to compete - you'd be pretty pissed off, right? You've worked hard, he's going to win without doing an ounce of practice.
But then you might say - "well why not get some rocket powered shoes?"
And the answer would be - for a start - " I don't want to look like a skipping, mincing cunt"
Style preferences aside the bottom line is that scootering is REALLY easy.
That's why kids do it and that's why you do it, because you're too scared of the challenge a skateboard or a BMX represents.
And that's why people think scooters are shit.

Thanks . And I will.
But I answered the question. People are going to hate on scooters for "looking shit" which is a stupid reason. It's like arguing over a favorite color. There's no basis for hating something on aesthetics and style - each to their own.
The problem is scootering IS easy. Look how fast its progressed. And just look at the state of skateparks - packed full of kids not paying the slightest bit of attention - why?
Because they don't have to learn the rules. They simply skip that whole part of learning. Little kids on scooters have no one to learn from because older scooters did the exact same thing.
They didn't have to practice, or learn, or suffer, or recover...they just scoot.
Parks are full of little dicks getting in the way because the proficient riders don't take the responsibility of teaching the kids the rules.
Skaters and BMXers have to learn to share and respect - otherwise they can't ride. And these virtues are taught to the newcomers.
Scooters don't need to do this purely because scooters are so accessible
Why?
Because they are so fucking easy to ride.

Ok then, considering bikes take all of 1 day to learn how to just "ride" than your argument is completely invalid considering all you're taking into account is basic riding. BMX and Skating took so long to develop because they had no real inspiration for the freestyle aspect of things but Scootering did, we're grateful for that but that doesn't make it easier to do. Ya sure learning the basics of Scootering is easy but that's because they're exactly that, the BASICS.
