Yeah. Even though we hated them so much they are still OGs haha though. Brandon Franklin really wasn't too bad, especially before he disappeared. I used to talk to him on AIM and he was pretty chill. Last time i talked to him he was like a macho body builder i would never mess with haha.

Another thing, kids treat us OG riders like noobs just coming onto the scene because we don't do briflip and backflip combos. Even if they are doing some of the tricks that us OG riders landed first years before their time. It's just ridiculous to see that we don't get the respect we deserve. I'd go as far as to call us the Tony Alva's, Stacy Peralta's, etc of our sport. But still, all our hard work goes unoticed. Even if it lead to what the majority of the sport is doing today. Reality is, no scooter rider is stepping it up as much as we did back in the day. With these dialed scooters, we did this intense shit on practically stock scooters, with combos that are still crazy today. But done years ago. In my opinion, aside from a very select handful, nobody can compete with the NBS days of riding. The scene was just so much more chill, less politics and a lot more shit being thrown down and stepped up. Difference between then and now, we still had steez back then. Nowadays it's a majority huck, no style.

Such a PRIME paragraph. my thoughts exactly! (If you have it, watch RVM1) don't pay attention to the ads, but the riding. and Silas. he literally blew me away when i saw the tailwhip rewind down a 3 or 4 set. on a jd bug with shocks : ) those were the days haha. Josh you should compile a OG video, or just a sick ass edit with old footage, because I know you have 70% of the worlds scooter footage at your house.

i'm sick of faggots like you looking down on people just because they can throw briflips or scooter flips, t wee always asks me why i still do scooter flips all the time when i end up hitting my self in the face, and i just tell him that i love doing scooter flips more than any trick because it's the truth

Haha, relax, Stef. You're a sick rider. You are nowhere near what kids we are talking about. It's not just the tricks, it's their attitude towards older riders and what tricks we typically do. I think it's chill if you genuinely like the trick. But our point is that a majority of kids do them TOO much and that it's all they've learned because everyone else hopped on the bandwagon with those specific tricks, but do them with no steez. You on the other hand, have a bag of tricks, and don't follow the trends. Plus you got steez. So chill, nobody is talking down to you either, haha. The same thing can be said about me doing so many superman grabs. People always tease me that I used to do them so much, but it's because of the same reasons you just posted, I love the trick. Now everyone teases me and I rarely even touch them anymore. I made an exception at Cooter Con, but I hadn't touched them much before then. Keep doing what you're doing, Stef.

Point being, ef banger tricks if you can't make them look good to begin with. Without steez, it's just as good as any other plain combo.

sorry i didnt mean to go off like that, but it sucks because i live in socal, so when i do a scooter flip or any type of bri everyone just assumes there goes another mer kid, bris and bow legs for life, and it pisses me off and i totally respect riders like you and spicy, dude you freakin super manned like a 4 stair in like 05 which is hard as fuck and spicys just plain creative so don't think your og style of riding goes unappreciated
