California Riding

[Tommy Napolitan]

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.

agreed. and wtf is the point of this thread? I know u said u dont wanna like argue or fight so whats the point? this is just a way to hate on cali scoot kids

i just stated my opinion

 

[AJ]

for now on im only gonna have park vids with every trick that everyone does all the time just to piss everyone off

........ ughhhh

 

[nick12667]

yes we do park hop hahaha.

security is tight around cali. you ride infront of kmart and you get shit on.

buy dxgv.2 when it comes out and youll see alot of stuff youve never seen from cali riders. and real street in there too

 

[Big L]

I don't give a shit if you ride park, i pretty much only ride park thats not the thing that makes me not like cali riders. Its what they wear and the tricks they do and the WAY they ride

 

[Jordan Jasa]

Agree 100 percent.

 

[Chris Harris]

you are a dumb ass

 

[Matt]

i agree but i still enjoy some vids like caprons are really good

 

[Dylan Kasson]

nope

 

[Tommy Napolitan]

[!Iscoot369]

[Norris_Yun]

yeah, the NorCal kids are pretty gnar at street. Dom Gullo, Jake (spicy), this kid named Austin, Eric Ostrom, and a few other kids are pretty good examples.

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.

Look man, I think for one that this post if very uninformed, and misguided.

And I am probably the least biased opinion to get a response from. So, I used to think along the same lines as you, about the same kind of opinions that your talking about here, but as some may know, i went to Cali for an entire month, and rode with about 30 californian riders at least over that time, of which almost all of them are so different to what you expressed. You don't know those guys, like take Capron for example, yeah he can do briflips and all that stuff incredibly well, but from what i saw of him, in just 3 days, he is one of the most original and creative guys out there. He can do anything, his videos just dont show it. So thats why i think your post is misguided, you guys get all these warped ideas from the videos you watch, not the people you meet.

Also, the whole street thing, these guys are good at park, because they have amazing parks to ride and choose to ride them. Whereas great street riders such as yourself and AJ like riding street, and got good at it because of that. And of course the whole shorts and helmet comment was just completely uneeded because thats what they are comfortable riding in, and its not up to you. Which i suppose sums up most of it. It all comes down to having met these guys like i did, and having my opinions on american riders in general, not just cali riders completely disproven.

So tommy, theres no reason to be making these threads, all they do is puch the sport backwards.

i agree but i dont see a problem. As long as your havin fun. And i would say about 10 cali riders prove you wrong (its gotta be more than 5 hah).

[nickloves2ride]

w/e if you want to rag on the "southern cali" style. but hating cause someone wears shorts or kid decides to wear a helmet is irrelevant.
