    California: Vista

    You used to be able to ride ther ebut now they have an attendant enforcing the "rules" so don't bother going there.

    California: Carlsbad

    As far as I know scooters are not allowed here but in the 5 years I have been riding there I have only been kicked out once. It is located between a fire department and a police station so you just have to keep a look out. The lat time I was there we rode for about an hour right in front of...

    This section is dedicated to helping others find new scooter friendly riding spots. PLEASE make a new thread for EVERY different park you want to talk about. DO NOT make a thread talking about 10 different parks or else the time it would take to browse all the threads would completely defeat...

    Fingerboard Stuff!

    No they can't say the same thing about scooters because scooters are actually a physical sport with risk involved. It takes no balls to fingerboard. I don't care if people play with them when they are bored but when they start filming themselves, arguing over who can do what trick and calling...

    REAL RIDE Wednesday 12, 2006 (tommorrow) 5PM

    Me, Radtke, Illig, Owens, Twan and like 5 other guys who I can't remember their names (sorry I'm bad with names). It was good riding with a big group but the park is a piece. It might have been nice the day they resurfaced but the problem is is they used masonite to resurface not skatelight so...

    Fingerboard Stuff!

    Can someone please explain to me how "professional" fingerboarding or even just fingerboarding are the least bit appealing? Because I have yet to figure it out.

    Flips.

    It's a cool trick but not worth it. Just wait.

    REAL RIDE Wednesday 12, 2006 (tommorrow) 5PM

    Real Ride is officially the shittiest park ever.

    Flips.

    I figured doing it over a spine would give me more airtime to rotate the flip since I had never tried them before even in foam... so I wouldn't under-rotate and slam on my face on a box... instead I still under-rotated... a lot.

    Flips.

    I tried my first flip over a concrete spine and now I don't remember a week of my life. If you can wait for foam then wait.

    Override video

    He might just mean the Overide preview which was pretty sick too. I delted all that stuff a long time ago though.

    can you hear this?

    I can hear ghosts. Sometimes it makes it hard to sleep though.

    bearings

    The key is keeping them clean. If you ride dirty bearings the dirt and dust will wear out the bearings and make them less smooth but if you keep them clean and well lubed they will polish themselves. It is no different then a glacier sliding across solid granite. There are incredible ammounts...

    The better impression you make from the start the better the future will be.

    bearings

    Bearings really don't matter that much just as long as they are clean and well lubed. If they are ovalized or the balls are chipped or have flat spots they need to be replaced. Old bearings spin faster than new ones if you maintain them right. The faster and longer you ride the better they...

    Red bull...

    Whatever you do DO NOT send them a video made of shitty online clips. If people are going to send you footage get the full quality stuff. If anyone at Red Bull actually watches it it will most likely be on a TV. Good quality + good footage + good music + good editing + VHS/DVD = Good...

    Snapped Bullet

    I am unlocking this just because I thought it was a pretty unique break and I havn't seen anyone post pics of this before. Also because I would kind of like the keep the "YOUR SCOOTER" thread focused on your functioning scooters and not all your broken scooters.

    Rule 15

    Yea, just keep an eye on it I guess. If it starts getting out of hand or he tells people to look at his signature to try and get around the rules or something then we can step in. Thanks.
