Swag fags, when kids play their garbage music out loud, kids that think they're better than everyone else, posers, mongo pushers, when people come in without anything to even ride and they just sit/stand there, when kids ask me what kind of scooter I'm riding or if I'm sponsored... I could go on for an hour but I want to take a shower lol

whats worse is there parents are walking them through a packed park snaking everyone like THERES A FUCKING BASKETBALL COURT NEXT TO THE PARK LET THEM RIDE THERE

but when their parents are there you can tell them to get their kid out or they will get hit, getting a lone kid out of your way is a more difficult task

yeah the worst is when your disastering and ur going back in and a kid is just right there and you gotta like put ur scoot between ur legs and hold it when u slide down the quarter. Also a couple times ill be on the left side of a quarter another kid on the right im just going up so i can drop in and hit the bank cause fuck flyout and the kid on the right does not wanna go up teh quarter and proceeds to go halfway up and turn into me making me drop my scoot and dive into grass

I don't get why it's so hard to take 5 minutes to answer a few questions for a kid that's just as hyped as you to be at the park.
They're kids, they don't get social boundaries, they don't get politeness, what they do get is an older dude doing cool shit that knows way more than them, and might be able to answer a few questions.
I feel you, it gets annoying as fuck, but we were all there at one stage, and having someone help you out to learn a trick, or tell them they're a sponsored rider or do a flip really inspires kids and makes them want to stick to scooters.

p.s. that's your chance to educate your kids about rider owned brands. he thinks your scooter looks sick, tell him about the brands and maybe he'll convince his parents to start buying their parts.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm more than glad to answer their questions, it's more of the fact that it happens daily and it just kind of gets old. I love having conversations with people at the park, but there are just some of those days where I just want to zone out and simply ride on my own, and I'm just really not in the mood for the same questions getting asked. So I guess when I think about it, it's really only a pet peeve half the time haha.

I think people need to remember this more, its funny how bad some people are at understanding the emotions as others even when they were once in that place
