Im concerned

[honga]

I know scooterin is growing really fast and all, BUT....

im spending all my time scooterin and working on my riding and not giving much time to anything else. completly dedicating myself to the sport and im not sure if im going at it the right way.

all the kids these days are getting crazier and crazier. that litte 11 year old or whatever he was, trying 360 flip, that raymond guy, super flip and flip quad. all these kids doing stupidly awesome stuff.
at the moment my shoulder is really sore, i tried to flair tuck no hander late whip, fell on the coping...

im starting my razor spono soon because obviously i wanna get spono'd.

if everything goes to plan and i do get sponsored, what next??? if the sport doesnt kick off really hard i might'n get anywhere in life. obviously being sponsored isnt enough to make a living off right now, and theres always the chance of being crippled lol.

im not gonna have any other skills but scooter riding and parkour (when im at school).

i love this sport and its my whole life, but i dont wanna be bankrupt at 18 coz i didnt get a good enough job.

so its either go balls out scooter ride and see what happens.

or nerd it up and become a game designer, that makes video games ...

im pretty set on the whole scootering thing but yeh

any thoughts or opinoins?

Im gonna try to get a good job and scooter as a hobby of mine.

 

[Matt Ogle]

thats why i didnt put all my time into scooters lol

there so much fun, but arent going to go anywhere. i wish they would though, i would keep riding nonstop <3

 

[Jordan Jasa]

well, a lot of kids in skating drop out to try to make it as a pro. i don't think thats gonna work in scooter riding yet. i know i'm not going to sacrifice school or anything for riding, there'll be plenty of time to do that when i'm a self -made billionaire at 21

 

[theworm]

lol jordan
yeah I dont think the sport is at all big enough to really go pro and make that much money at it
Im just gonna rie on my free time but not take out time for school and stuff like right now I could be scootin
but instead im doiung my homework(stupid homework...but its ok cuz I hurt my wrist this mornin)

 

[ryno]

haha i do the exact same thing at school
shit gets boring so we start doin flips and the teachers dont know what to say ahha
if you want to try and live off the sport you probably might wanna start biking because it similar to a scooter jus bigger and maybe get back onto your scooter when the sponsors start do actually do something about it

Sort it out all correctly.

Put the right amount of time into school and studies, but leave some time for riding. You don't need to ride every second of the day.

 

[Steezeman]

Go to school and ride at the same time, that way you can learn stuff enough to get a real job, and if it turns out you can make a living off of scooters someday then you can do that. If not, you have a normal job to fall back on.

 

[qwxor]

Yeah alex 100% smiles.

Since it gets dark at like 5:30. I get home, ride till it gets dark. And then do stuff for school.

On the weekdays i just do things i know i can land and just ride so i dont turn shitty.

Weekends i try new things

 

[Jake ODonnell]

ride for fun, for me, its school first. than scooters.

but if scootering is really getting in the way, than take a break, dont some extra credit, do all your home work, get caught up. make your self feel good and achieve all your goals on school. than go award your self by going to the skate park err something.

 

[JackDillon]

Atleased finish grade 10 with decent marks id say, Its not like you have to go to college, uni or aprentiship like strait away is it and there is always part time work around Hobart. I dunno if this is usefull or what ever but still..

Heres what I do: get home from school, eat a yogurt or two (skip step if no yogurt), then watch some tv until about 4:30, go ride in the garage (usually kicker or flat, sometimes a little pad though), I take a little break from riding at about 5, if Dad gets home in there I have him park outside, then I ride a bit more, come on here, post a few things, usually unnecessarily long, then by now its about 5:30 so I eat, come back on here, check myspace, sometimes play games, then watch some tv, sleep, wake up at 6:10 but sleep till exactly 6:24 (idk how), take shower, dry off, get my pants and underwear on, blow my hair dry, get my contacts in, dress the rest of the way, get a drink, find my binder/backpack, start to blast ipod, start walking to the bus, get on the bus, sit down, sleep sometimes, no matter what I pretend to sleep when we get to this one stop, go back to sleep, wake up at school, get off bus while blasting ipod, do my homework in my first class, lang. arts with the b---- of a teacher, math with an old fart that MIGHT be crazy, science with a retard that loses your homework and blames it on you, lunch in there some where, special classes things (gym and whatnot) go to gifted to get away from normal school, eat a starburst there, do nothing for 45 mins, get back on the bus, get home, and repeat.

[AX3D]

just ride for fun.

you guys frustrate me, i made a thread like this and thats all people said but the point is i wld like to make a living out of having fun? haha

 

[AX3D]

woo.

 

[scooterpro]

bahahahahhaah ethan life isnt all about flips doesnt mean yur good if someone could bust out a flip quad or watever its all about big ass airs and flowin plus street shit
thats wat ppl wanna see not someone flippin all the time.
it gets so annoying watchin new vids of just ppl flippin all the time wish ppl understand that its just 1trick nothing special.
the sport will grow more if we had more cunts flowing and riding street not this shitty flip flop

 

[reece687]

wrong idea of the thread. i was using those as an example. i couldnt think of anything recent of kids doing street or flow, those were the first things tat came to mind. just so u know i ride heaps of street.

the point is im not sure if i should really put my career as scootering, i really wanna take things to the next level but at the same time we all need to make a living somehow.

could you live off the money that razor gives you???

god i sound like a fukkhead right now haha

 

[GoGzS]

Well...I ride for fun and I hope it'll stay this way...

If someone gonna pay me to ride, hell yeah, I won't reject it...but still I'm going to finnish high school and college to have a safe incoming one day...reather than relaing on a sport that could make a kripple of me...
