we ride scooters because we think they are fun, its the whole reason we dont just become a trendy kid and ride boards or bikes because we're afraid of what others think, so why should we be afraid of what everyone else thinks now? ride the way that you have fun riding and dont let anyone tell you different, anyone who differs eats turkey bacon by choice
I wish everyone was chill and mature. I can't even talk to the little kids at my local parks without hearing dumb bullshit come out of their mouths.
This sport needs more homies.

Lol david i under stand you want the sport ot be structured but its not going to be that way. im not going to switch up my riding style were a ride like crap just to ride your "proper" way. I would just show you up using my on style which i bet i could critizize the way you ride way more then mine. You should worry more about people actually not putting there heels down on ledges then worrying about how somebody pushes or places there feet even though i think ski has its disadvantages.

yeah dafuq? i don't ever post things i wouldn't want my mother to see and i don't even have her as a friend.
guys, what i hope david means is that IF you wish to have respect, from scooter riders, skaters, and whatnot, there are certain things you can do which can help you. Not pushing mongo being one of them. if you wanna ride for yourself and don't give a shit what other people think, awesome...but that just makes me wonder if you dgaf, why are you in this thread? You seem to care about other peoples' opinions if you're in this thread arguing trying to change them.
Oh and also, without anyone's respect there would be hardly anywhere for us to ride. Being respected as a real sport is what gets scooters into skateparks that previously wouldn't allow them. But i don't really give a shit about that...cause, you know...(streetelitist4lyfe)

I noticed how you complain about street elitists yet you are some kind of join date elitist (lol). Whats it to you if he is a newer member? I don't really see why Nick is getting so damn upset over all this, someone politely asked him not to be a part of the thread that they made and he freaks out talking about how he is not allowed to have an opinion and all. Sure its not a nice thing to do but I don't see you talking to people very politely on here. Practice what you preach bro

he knows. i scooter 75% for myself and the fun of it and 25% because it uplifts me to be apart of a movement of getting scootering respected and included with other extreme sports. shame on me for caring what the community turns into when I leave.

Honestly, if they do that they're just dicks in general. Just because they ride scooters doesn't mean they have to be your friend.
EDIT: If scooters had more riders who rode like this, then that would be sick.

I think even in skateboarding there probably is hatred towards other groups I guess you could call them. Maybe no big fights or anything but maybe the pros who prefer to stay low key and aren't sponsored by companies like Mountain Dew and don't compete in the Dew tour and X Games don't like the people like Sheckler. It seems like throughout all of skateboarding there is kind of just some respect towards everyone but i doubt everyone supports what other people are doing for skateboarding if that makes sense. Although it doesn't seem like some people in scootering have any respect at all for others which if people want scootering to grow to be something like skateboarding that probably has to change

we need less stupid people who need to find any reason to hate. we need to stop calling people "street elitists", when did that even become a real thing? that was like a joke on push it, and it somehow became real life... why?
we need less stupid companies who are just trying to make a buck, and more companies who are focused on quality over quantity. all of you need to realize that extreme sports arent a contest, we're all in it for the same reasons. to break boundaries & push limits. we have not and will not ever need rule books, or guidelines, thats not what this is about. we're not here to nationalize & organize riders into categories/classes. we ride to shred the fucking gnar, and to open peoples eyes. we ride to be our true selves, and to do what we love & enjoy. we ride to get away from everyday bullshit & normal life problems. we are a community first and foremost, and communities need to be united and stick together to survive and function. the younger generation of riders will never be capable of understanding this until the older generation starts to thoroughly portray it.
