Skaters and bmxers aren't open to anything new coming into freestyle sports. The truth is scootering will someday take over bmxing due to it being almost exactly the same(other than the fact we dont have pedals) and scooter's are much cheaper. I have seen bike frames that cost more than complete scooters with all aftermarket parts. Skaters are insecure because now instead of little kids and others wowing them when they ride they wow us, the scooter riders, because we are shedding new light to the world of freestyle sports. All in all the skaters and bmxer's only see us as a problem and instead of calmly resolving their issues with us they decide to diss us and cause us problems.
P.S.- I know there are a lot of cool skaters and bmxers out there but im just summing it up for the most part.
