THANK GOD this isn't true, it would ruin everything we have built. Josh knows exactly what he is talking about.

Plus honestly, I would not want 80% of the "pros" out there in front of a camera talking for the world to see... Scooter suicide.

No, you're an idiot because it's already been said multiple times in this thread that the thing about scooters in the X-Games was just a rumor and it's not gonna happen.

wow....
Edit: I will be boycotting this premature decision. This idea that is a false illusion of the "progress of this sport" will certainly destroy it just as quickly as it was built. The pro's of today do not know how to conduct the ideals of this sport or themselves to the media. It will go in the same route as inline skating did. The market will seize to be due to huge corporations knocking off our rider owned companies products, pushing them around with money, then flooding the market with those products. I do not agree with this decision the ISA has made. Their head is in the right place, but I believe they need to let this sport mature before pushing kids, whom are our pro's for the most part, into such a limelight. -Josh Toy
Agreed.

I agree with you josh. as much as i would want to see the sport progress, and i have dreamed of the day scooters would be in the x games. it would be like inline skates. the market would flood with toy scooter companys. big money would buy out the riders and force them to promote garbage, and rider based companys will die. it would be the end of tsi for sure. we are struggling to stay in bussiness
 
Its false see what he has to say:

Dear All, My name is Scott and I am the owner of Scooter Hut. We allow some of our staff to work as administrators on our Facebook page, which normally works well for us as a means to keep in touch with our customers and friends. Today, one of my staff overheard a private conversation regarding the involvement of scooters in the xGames and wrongly decided to make an announcement on our Facebook Page in relation to this before running it by me. There is no doubt scooters will be in the xGames at some point, but we have no "official" announcement as to when this will be, so I am sorry if we have given false hope of a 2012 inclusion. On a more positive note, I can confirm we have been in talks with Nitro Circus this week and as a result of these discussions, we will have at least two scooter riders performing in every show of this year's Nitro Circus Tour of Australia. One giant leap at a time for this beautiful sport :)"

scootering should not be in the xgames
-we dont have enough vert riders
-street scooters would bore the audience
-mega would be awesome, but not many riders would hit it.
-park would work, but .. xgames parks are huge.

yeah, No one took that into consideration either, X games park is called "Super park" For a reason, everything is massive.
