how about everyone shut up and just ride your scooter. Ride whatever makes riding a scooter fun for you. Thats all that really matters

Locked. Too much street vs park bickering. If you want the bottom line of this whole thread, read these:

There is so much more to scootering than just "street riding" and "park riding." I feel like so many of you guys just take other people's scootering as just the tricks he can do, but it's not just that. It's unbelievably more than that. Street riding Is more than just the trick the person does at the spot. It's finding the right spot to ride which can be so damn hard. It's Thinking about what trick you want to do or film on it that can be done in your way with your style and doing the trick to the best of your ability because you may not come back to that spot. Street riding can have so many different personalities in it because of all the different areas of cultures, terrain, obstacles, lighting, awkwardness of the spot and so much more. There are just so many variables to it and that's why it is so ungodly fun. There is always a spot that can have new tricks done at it that have never been done there. At a skatepark everything is COMPLETELY different. That skatepark is always ridden, always having the same tricks done at it, and there can only be oh so many different obstacles at a general skatepark. there are much less variables, which make it less enjoyable and ultimately the latter of the two.

Please actually read all of that, it's the truth in my eyes.

Riding street is an entirely different concept as to riding a skatepark.
They are both awesome but just different and I think the scooter community doesnt quite understand that they are both good and different. They think there needs to be one or the other which is not and will never be true.

Riding street is 100% creativity. you have to ride things that arent mean to be ridden. Some spots are perfect for some tricks and that makes a great looking clip. I would rather spend hours getting a trick a few times a week and take a year or two on a video part that I am working hard for then go to the skatepark and film multiple tricks in a day.

They are just entirely different. When you ride street you dont have your parents there sitting in the parking lot or anybody watching you ride, you dont have the security of knowing that you can try a trick as long as you want, you dont have perfect ground at every spot, you dont have stupid pads on making you look like an idiot and its complete freedom. You get to experience cities in a way that can't be experienced to a normal person. Riding street is a way to experience and view the world through a different set of eyes and its completely irreplaceable. You should try it sometime.

i dont know dude, i think its all about your creativity and desier. i live in sarasota florida and cant drive, everyone where i live says we have the worst street in florida, but honestly ive personally made about 30 spot in the last year and all i ride is the street here now, if you have the skill and the creativity good street is just waiting to be found, but i ride the park at least one day a week but in my opinion, all park feels the same, smooth metal coping, pefrect slants and easy tricks, but is still fun no doubt and is great for getting all your tricks dialed and to learn new ones but yea street is an adventure, a challenge, and is the one place i can relax without any pressure, riding street by myself has to be my favorite feeling in the world without a doubt i dont know if anyone else like solo street riding but for me its so relaxing and comfortable you have all the time in the world to try a trick with no side distractions or talking, its like the spots, the nature, and my scooter all intertwin and work together, and theres no crowd of friends saying lets go here or this is boring blah blah blah, its so peacful and quite you have complete focus and when you see like the weirdest things you can just go directly to them and make your own decisions with no filmer and no pressure and with park i dont even have close to the same feeling, but parks fun as hell to with friends and learning new stuff but yea thats my feel on that, Michael Hohmann
