post here your love to other riders and why because of there personalities, and just generally them as a person.

Matt Dibble's slightly edited post in most influential rider thread said:Reeves - The single reason I started riding. I was just some kid who didn't know what was what, and I was decent at a few different sports. I learned how to tailwhip after hours and hours of practice off the 2nd stair of a 4 stair. The first time I rode with "Team DV-8" I was super intimidated. These kids were good. I had to do one trick to get on, and that was tailwhip. For some reason, this trick was unheard of at the time, and I actually impressed Reeves. This started out what would become me riding with Reeves and Steve all the time. This initial meeting made me new friends and I was brought into a sport I now love. Thanks Reeves.
Brandon Kilbury - So inspirational. Words cannot describe how much I love this guy. It is stupid, because we get along TOO good. When we ride, we hardly ride. It's just laughing and talking about whatever is going on at the time. Three and a half years ago when I first got on SR he was one of the people I, a n00b, was to respect. Little did I know 2 years later I would be constantly talking with him online, and having him over at my house for the 2nd XW comp was so weird at first. It was like, here he his, one of the people I've idolized for so long.,.. just here. It was like a toned down version of starstruck to me. I could go on and on about my 3 trips to Vermont to visit him, sharing some of the best times in my life, my trips to his college now just 2 hours from me, getting banned for partying way too hard, or our endless rants about pharmacists, drugs, and other omlbals. I could go on to say that he has easily become one of my best friends in such a relatively short time, and that he has really been there for me when it counts, but I won't. Thanks BK.
Steven T - Man. I'll just start from the beginning. I should've listened to him. First video on the scooter scene, back in June of 2005, Steven T was one of the few to comment. I tried to recreate this, and got decently close, but no one could say it like him. : [quote Steven_T]
Please shut up, and let him ride his bars however and where ever he wants. Silas and Al were two riders who jumped high as fuck, and so am I, and none of us rode our bars down to our knees...so dont say that it helps you jump higher jes becuase Ricky Wernicke said so in RVM2...or out of personal preference its all about whats comfortable to you as a rider. To the kid who made the vid, jes work on tricks now that you can bring to those sets and gaps, and jes work on tailwhips and barspins simple tricks like that, when you get those down...start for double whips and fingerwhips...you get the picture..K, so keep at it. And keep taping stuff....and jes remember dont let people tell you how to ride, if you want opinions on how your vid was thats fine, but when it comes to learning tricks, honestly..Jes do the tricks you see people doing that YOU think youd like to do, jes because everyone is doing scooterflips, does not mean you need to go learn those. Do the tricks you like..and try to be an individual...something that in scootering...we have very few of....that is all.
