Ok first off i dont want to start an argument i am just stating my opinion because its been bothering me for a while now.

From what i've seen upon finding SR is that almost every single kid from California rides EXACTLY THE SAME. There are seriously only 5 riders in my opinion that ride different and unique. Everyone else rides with the same "style" as another. I honestly cant stand to watch vids put out from there unless its from those 5 riders whos riding i like. Because i know i am just going to see the same stuff except maybe with an extra whip or bar into it. Or see the same skateparks that are in every other vid.

Also there is no street put out from Cali except from Addy and Ostrom. Everyone else tries to put out "street vids" but its generally just some little spot and the kid is wearing shorts and a helmet. I wish they would close all skateparks in Cali to scooters so people could go out and learn there ticks on kickers, flat, street instead of just saying "Well what park do you wanna ride today?" Also theres really no ballsy riders out there, maybe 2 or 3 but other then that no one is taking necessary risks to try to push the limit on tricks and such. Like i said before not throwing an extra whip or bar after your insane scooter flip at a skatepark. But rather people trying to do bigger rails, sets, and adding stuff to them. Like honestly what So Cal rider is throwing down dope street vids?

Idk the vast majority of the "California scooter scene" is all the same in my opinion. The sunny weather, wearing shorts, doing bri flips, wearing helmets everywhere, not being able to hit a legit rail, having atleast 37 concrete skatepark clips in a vid.

Once again just my opinion.

i actually understand what you're getting at

but the only riding style you need to be worrying about is YOUR OWN!

ehh. pretty much true.
as much as capron fits this quota, I still always watch his vids cause his combos are rediculous.
 
I'm from California and I notice this too. I never go to skateparks, so I sort of understand where you are coming from. I don't really know what my riding style is like, I just hope its not like other people from California. So hopefully my next video will be a little different from other people from Cali. (no skatepark shit will be in it, just home footage and maybe street)

You are wrong. This only applies to the Southern Californian riders. NorCal and SoCal are very different.

But I completely agree man, but not with the NorCal riders.

So Cal has some of the best street spots ever, so idk why theres so many park rats down there.

I hate to say it, but i like the cali vids, but after seeing so many, it has gotten repetitive.
Cement park, Whip bri (somthing) whip. In every vid.

Don't get me wrong, i like the riders. And park, but ehhhh.
