Yeah I Realize that now. Now the other half of the Damn forum hates me.
Double post but yeah this is true I couldn't do any better. I know that too. I would probably look even more stupid so I shouldn't have really said anything.

We no hate youuuuu.
Fair enough, I didn't mean no harm, I just think you should think about what you've typed sometimes before you press that post button. I see uncalled for comments in a lot of your posts and it has a potential to fuel the shitstorms that seem to pop up on SR every now and then. It's all good.
And in an effort to keep it on topic:
What's great about Mr. Kasson: we all hated Dylans natural heelwhipping style in 05, he never gave a crap and kept rocking what he was doing and now he has one of the most unique and beautiful styles out there.
Thats what it means to ride.
Thank you Travis and once again sorry that I said anything.
But Ronney we have always been cool but you took it too far. 1) I never said ANYTHING about him being mentally disabled and I never would because if you knew anything about me which you don't then you would know 2) I have a seriously disabled uncle and I'd never make fun of retarded people. 3) I might talk shit but if you knew me you would know how fucking different I am from the other assholes who make fun of people. Yesterday I bought a random mentally disabled kid a lunch because he didn't have a lunch and I now have 1 lunch left for the rest of the month. 4) do you really think that I though he was mentally disabled? Fucking come on. He said he was in college. For gods sake I find the word 'retarded' extremely offensive to people unless it's being used by someone who is being serious (not making fun/joking around etc)
Next time don't assume shit about me when you know nothing about me at all

I don't believe I took anything too far, I'm sorry if that changes your opinion on me but what you just said there completely contradicts your earlier comments in this thread. I'll leave it at that.

No word itself is offensive it is how people use the word. The word is politically correct and it is a classified mental state. If you say that kid is retarded and he really is it is not bad because you are stating a fact but if you say that kid is retarded and he is really not then it is an insult to both types of people because you're telling both people that they are dumb
I literally thought the same thing.
It's NOT fucked up because he's NOT FUCKING RETARDED. He's obviously not so you just made an extremely bad comparison. Yeah that's pretty fucked up that someone would do that, but I was laughing at how he talked like he was super super super high and didn't even think about what he was gonna say before he said. Basically he just winged it and it made the way he talked kinda weird.
And "patscooters" if you read past that bold, you would see that I said I only find it offensive when people use it in offensive ways.
Haha that's just what I thought.

dylan makes fun of people that ride for fun and rides bowlegged.
Here, I'll transcribe it for you brother!
--------------------------------------------------
Camera dude: You wanna start at the beginning?
Dylan: Whats the beginning?
(Intro footage)
Dylan: I remember one day we went to wal mart and saw this scooter and my dad was like "Dylan, do you want that scooter?" cause he knew I wanted it. So I was like "Yeah... I do want that!"
D: I didn't know anyone who scootered, all my tricks I did were like... they came from my own brain which means I did really wack tricks... I did like one handers over sewer caps for like three years maybe? I had no knowledge of people doing tricks on scooters.
(cut to garage)
D: We are in Westville, Ohio in the house I grew up at and this is the garage where I used to work on my scooters. Back then scooters broke a lot so I had to modify them and do really silly stuff to them so they wouldn't snap on me... deck them out and make them look crazy cause I was a little kid and I liked that stuff... When it snowed and I couldn't ride I would just come here and work on my scooter.. Because there was nothing else to do.
basically everything I know about tools I just learned from working in here. I don't think I would know how to use a screwdriver if it wasn't for scootering.
(cut to cafe)
D: I realized like... whoa... this isn't just something I am doing... this is like a community and I just wanted to put myself at the level that all those people were at because I finally realized that like, If I worked hard and dedicated myself I could get to that point... and that point wasn;t even that good I mean the guys on Razor weren't really getting much stuff but at that time that was the best thing that could happen... ever. So I was just dreaming of being on Razor.
(cut to skate park)
D: We're at the skatepark and this is where I first started riding and learning tricks... filming videos.
Camera: is anything from any of your videos at this park?
D: Yeah, all my videos used to be in this park and that was it.
Camera: So you learned most of your tricks here?
D: Yeah pretty much all my tricks I learned here. I would be here every day from noon until... until it got dark
(cut to park montage)
(cut to cafe again)
D: It was Razor and Micro and then the next company was Scooter Resource. Tat was founded my Andrew Broussard who now owns Proto Scooters. He basically knew how to weld and loved scooters so he made parts for himself so his scooter wouldn't snap in half.
I organized this event, ScootOhio which was a week long event in the summer of 2008 and invited a bunch of pros, i'd never talked to Andrew before but one night I just called him up
and was like "Hey Andrew... Uhh it's Dylan Kasson, do you want to come to Ohio?" and he was just like "Yeah!" and I was so surprised because.. I don't know, I just thought he was this mysterious figure!
So basically we rode that whole week and a week after that I got this phone call from Andrew and he was like "Hey, I'm looking for some new people to put on the team". The team at that time was called Scooter Resource and I was like "Oh yeah? cool... thats cool" and he said "I really think you should be a part of it" and I was like completely mindblown like "YOU want ME to be a part of your TEAM?"
I think me and a couple people out there always threw t out there like "hey we should really make a DVD, that would be really good" because as we progressed we started hating the Razor DVD's cause we kind of realized they were kind of cheesy so we wanted to do our own thing. We basically had this goal and we didn;t know what we were doing at all or how it would turn out or how long it was going to take. We said "Hey, we want to have a cool vibe, we want to ride street, we want to put this thing out and we want it to be revolutionary, we want this to change the sport of scootering.
(cut to bags of tapes)
D: These are all the tapes i've filmed over the years... This is like hours upon hours of scootering.
(cut to cafe)
D: It's just really cool to work for that long.. like as you watch the DVD you can really see the progression of Proto. We really become like a family and it was like the best three years ever and it still is great! Going on filming trips, like those are my favorite times. Going on these filming trips and ride with my close friends and just have fun. So when it came out there was a premiere in San Diago, Cali and NYC. I went to the NYC one and the turnout wasn't the same but there was so many people and I was signing autographs I was signing kids scooters.... I was fuckin' signing girls tits! Like it was insane!
When it stared screening and everybody cheered I like... After three years of hard work... I donno, I almost cried. It was insane, such a crazy feeling. To put your whole life, like literally I put my whole life into that video for three years and to see the reaction people had to it and what it influenced... I don;t think I could do something like with any other thing except for scootering.
I would try tricks... and I still do try tricks until I can't stand up. That how I think when I scooter "Im going to wake up in the morning, I'm going to go to the spot and i'm going to try this trick until I can;t stand up anymore because I just want to be the best I can be and I want to push myself and push everybody and thats what I did for Catalyst.
The sport is getting bigger... Really quickly. Probably in five years... It's the same when I was on a razor as a little kid, I didn;t know what was going to happen in five years and I still don't now! Everything is happening so quick.
I always feel that scootering is the most important thing in my life. I feel like instead of having it as an activity, I do it so much that it's like "Ok, i'm living in the world and my scooter is just a part of it" I always feel that when I'm not scootering, like when I'm going to College or something I feel like I don't deserve what I have because I'm so rooted in the fact that it is my lifestyle and I need to be going out and doing these things. I don't deserve anything. I don't deserve parts, I don't deserve money. I'm not going out there and breaking myself and trying my heart out and thats when it comes to the issue "Is this a job or is this a lifestyle?" and for my it's a lifestyle which makes it easy to be a job because I just live and I do what I love to do and I get money from it... I mean it's great to me. I mean, it's what everybody's dream job is.
