Don't just be an idiot and write some dumb answer. Think about it for a bit, why do you scooter? This could be a good thread.

For that feeling you get when you just stomped a trick you've been trying all month, the community, and the love of the sport.

I scooter for the thrill, the rush of adrenaline. I scooter because of the feeling that i get when I land a new trick. Why do you scooter Tyler?

I scooter because its fun. Like, really fun. Its cheaper than biking, more expensive than skating but right in the middle. I am also able to beat peoples faces in with my scooter if I need to. I feel like its safer than skating too, but I also feel that you can go a lot bigger. Overall, I think its just cool.

I scooter because it gives me freedom. When I'm riding, all my troubles fade away and it's just me and the scooter. I have fun riding, and that's all that matters. I just want to scoot, have fun, and land my trick.

I think its the funnest thing in the world and I get to experience so many priceless things and meet so many amazing people just from riding a scooter. I love the feeling of landing something and rolling away. I really don't like team sports because there is rules and with a scooter there is no rules. Its complete and pure freedom.

basically for all the reasons that everybody loves extreme sports. Also, I had one when I started, as opposed to a bike (and a new one cost 400 dollars) or a skateboard (costs more than a rup). Also, you can get super tech on a scooter, while still bombing like a bike.

I ride a scooter because of how fun and versatile it is. You can go big like a bike or be extremely techy like a skateboard. It's also great because of the look on peoples faces after they talk shit and you bust out something crazy.

I started scootering because I was looking for something other than what all the kids my age did then, which was posing around on a bike. And i had already had my run at skating and it just wasn't for me. Then when i was with my friend at his house and rode his scooter while he tried 180s on flat. then i realized how much you could do, then i hit up youtube, became the first rider in my area, and now my park is filled with scooter riders. But i still scooter because i love every aspect of it, and to soon put together a crew of riders that I can make really good street stylish videos with, in order to push on the idea of scootering is just as real as skateboarding, and doesn't end at the park rats and the snakes. I think the main reason I scooter is to help be apart of movement of scootering in a positive direction in any way I can.

I like it because its most extreme sports all into one. I love hanging out with people and meeting new people. Most of the people are really laid back and chill, and I like that.

Yes... I come from an overprotective family so when I'm out riding its like being free. Nice comparison

I scooter because I can choose whatever I want to do while scootering. There's no coach who makes you go to practice even when you dont want to, there's no referee telling you not to do tricks, and there's no stress of trying to win or lose against someone else. It's just you and your scooter out there by yourself. And it's the best feeling.

I scooter because it's in between skating and BMX, and I just think it's so satisfying to flow around a park. A scooter has a closer wheelbase to skating than BMX, so that way the transitions at skateparks fit perfectly for scooters. And I love that the tricks are largely based off of BMX, with some skate influences. I've always loved both sports, and scootering is just a great mix between the two. And not to mention, I just think that scootering, when done right, looks amazing. Although the same could be the same for pretty much anything.
