You gotta remember that kids are so new in the sport that they come to the park and see someone who can 360 whip or briflip and they idloize you. You also gotta remember that kids dont understand that a good scooter wont make you better. They think alot of it has to do with parts so let them buy bearings and new scooter parts and let them ride your scooter and then they will find out a good scooter wont make you better and leave you alone.

I yell in Spanish or roar like a lion to move people. I mess with everyone at parks no matter how bad ass they are. I don't cross a line into disrespect though. Turns are important and I don't mind waiting to get a good line in.
Messing with retards is a hobby of mine and obviously there are plenty to be found at a skatepark.

i live in a small town and we just got a decent park and all the kids that just started think oh i need a pheonix deck like you or any good parts. i try to tell them the just need to ride what they have and keep trying. also i have had kids follow me around the skatepark asking me questions about my scooter and the tricks i do but we were all those little kids once.

at robbie and i's new skatepark, there are at least 15 brand new scooter kids with ultra pros. they get really annoying with the questions but like robbie said we have all been there.
and like, i dont understand how someone can't fingerwhip. that trick was easy for me... let alone tailwhip. and most these new kids can tailwhip flyout, so i guess you just have to teach them tricks and mentor them and one day they'll get better. and the more questions you answer the less theyll have
questions do get really annoying when you're trying to have a chill sesh though.

Thats where you gotta teach em. Those little kids who want to freestyle scooter are the future of this sport. Be uplifting and teach them how to wait there turn at the park and how to act like not swearing or spreading rumors etc. Kids look up to you guys because you can briflip or 360 and to them thats like watching tyler bonner or ryan williams go big.
