Yeah i ride scooters, but i don't keep the handlebars all the way down, it just makse the tricks look gay in my opinion. the whole bent over the handles thing, the low landings on the qp's on most tricks, and the either super tight or super loose landings kinda throw the whole making scooters look cool out of the water. I'd rather skateboard than scooter but scooter tricks are just real easy to learn. I do think that scootering has potential though, they just gotta find a way to make the tricks look better than the sketchy styles i've seen so far.

You mean shitty tricks. Anyone can flatground tailwhip and it's easier than doing one on a bike but Id say that 720s over a big flybox would be equally hard on a scooter and a bike.birdman said:

I bet this is one of those little kids who rides with his handle bars up to his tits pissing everyone by getting in the way and snaking people, also when someone gets in his way he tells his dad and then cries coz someone stirred him about not being able to tailwhip
(u make scooters sound easy boy.... skateboarding is wayy easier
alright clarifying a few things, i ride a scooter when there is no board to skate, im 6'2"... not one of those gay little kids with the handlebars up to their shoulders who like to snake in front of everyone or get in the way, and its hard to try harder tricks when there is no skate park and hardly any kind of spots around a town except for ledges, ive done double and triple whips over or on just about everything, which dont look very good im my opinion anyways, scooterflips just look and feel dumb on flatground or off ledges. at a skatepark, there are a few tricks i like to do but its hard to make look good, scooterflips do look good over spines, and a 360 whip anywhere is fun really, the same with bigspin whips (tailwhip 180, i dont know what the tricks are really called). Turndown and look up's (the opposite of a turndown, its what i heard it was called on a bike) can also look pretty good... really good in special cases. Whips look really good if they can be done controlled, grinds on rails and hubbas are fun and are impressive, and grabs can look good as well. the christ air things are crazy looking i think, but i dont know they just look wierd. Also i dont know but what kind of grabs are there an a scooter, do they kinda go like skateboards? (melons, indy, ect..), to reply with the scooter tricks are way harder than skateboards, think of the number of people who can do a 720 on a scooter, then look at the people who can do it on a skateboard.
yes it is... ive done both...not the tricks but the blades and snow. it may sound like comparing apples to oranges, but really its not, its more like comparing the acidity of the two. let's take a stair set, say about 6 stairs. if you were just starting evrything... skateboarding, scooters, ect... you can judge which ones would take longer to learn to finally jump those six stairs. bikes or blades would prolly be the first ones over the set, scottering if your just starting would take about maybe a couple of weeks. skateboarding, on the other hand would take about a year. Im not saying they are altogether easier, but i am saying that the learning curve for skateboarding is much worse than it is for scooters. It may depend on certain people but for me at least, it took one week of hard riding to get tailwhips down. where as of one week of skating i got a tiny ass ollie. Im not saying that tricks for scooters or bikes are easy or anything like that, but what i am saying is that the learning curve for the different styles of riding is diverse.

think of the people that can 720 on bikes compared to on skateboards, so skateboarding is harder than bikeing? that doesnt make too much sense. just because with have handles bars it makes certain tricks easier (spins). but that doesnt mean are whole sport is easier. there are hard tricks in scootering and there are hard tricks in skateboarding. it doesnt mean ones harder than the other, you cant compare tricks like 720s on each because they are such different things.
skateboarders don't learn tricks because they're lazy as shit and they already have enough pro's in their sport so that just by saying that they skateboard gives them enough respect by others than actually being able to do anything, that's why any skateboarder you'll ask will say that the easiest trick on a skateboard (shove-it, 180) are the equivilent to a dubwhip when they're not...dumb suck my cock

I don't think scooters are easier than skating...it just seems like it. I think a tailwhip on flat is as basic as an ollie in skating, if not easier. It seems easier because there are sooooo many more tricks you can do than on a skateboard, so it seems like your getting good quickly. But theres really sooo many tricks, and so that makes the hard scooter tricks really hard. well i dunno what i'm saying really haha.ryan hockwald said:
