wow, that is because BMX is a shit ton harder than scootering at learning new tricks.
Where im from its all skateboarding posers, basically they buy a skate shirt and say there a skater and they can barely ollie. I love scooting cause your so independant, theirs no coaches or refs or board of directors, you are the coach, plus scooting is not expensive, you can buy a pro model with one piece bars and still have cash. but to some scooter kids its all about what your scoot scoot looks like, personally, i would not go out and buy a scorcher fork, proto grippers, and crow bars just cause there cool, id buy some full metal cores, a pro fork and ultra pro or inward bars. its not about the parts to me, its about riding.
