Why do you scooter? Why should I scooter?

[Dom Marconi]

If you need to ask us why you should scooter, then the answer is you shouldn't. Why would you ride if you don't like it haha.

ill make this post short and to the point. scootering is fun as ----- it's different, and i like to do it. thats why i ride. if you don't find it fun, don't ride, if you do, then ride.

Why do people find skating so hard? from just picking up a board I got 180's shove its, fs shove its and of course olies, I find it quite easy compared to what people say howhard it is(ive never done skating just from picking up my friends board). when i picked up a scooter i couldn't 180 fakie and get out of fakie. my first scooter was a 26" high bar rup v1 which I didn't ride for ages as my dad would not let me cut the bars down so I did not ride at all untill he realised (otherwise i might have still been 26" high bars untill they broke) so it was good in the long run but it means I did not start untill a few months later and then eventually 2 days into riding I broke my arm trying to hop a small obstacle and I caught my front wheel and when flying. as for other sports when I was younger I was going to do blading but never got into it. I leanred the basics but hardly rode at all and not for long and it was more of a sideline hobby. when I started to scooter I instantley loved and got into it well.

and ride parts till they break or you grow out of them kids, all these kids have blunt completes and pheonixes at the park and some cant even drop in. I bought plegs off this guy for £4 almost brand new just cause he didnt like them lol and i still have my RUP bars now and ive been riding for like 1 year and 8 months but I did do a small slit under the clamp to strengthen the bars and cut them down once so now im 5'9" with 18x18 and a bent cross bar rup bars

I scooter because it's fun and unique, like a mix between bmx and skating. I also like discovering new spots, filming, landing my trick, and just having fun with my mates. I scooter because it gives me freedom, when I'm riding, all my troubles drift away, it's just me and my scooter.

I love the feeling of being in the air, thats my favorite thing. As for a career... a local bike shop thats like my third home might hire me as a scooter mechanic... soooo

BMX or Skate? Hm? I don't want to pick one. scootering is both. its a combined hybrid of sports. I love Bikes, but most skate parks are not disigned for bikes. the tranny was designed for a shorter wheel base. All bike riders stand when they ride. like a scooter, and trials bikes don't eaven have a seat. frames keep getting shorter and lighter, like a scooter. Now for skateboards Oh god Please they are awfull. 4 tiny wheels that are so hard and slow. trucks that dont turn, to go from riding a scooter to riding a skateboard makes me want to puke. you have to kick 27 times just to get across the skate park. now on a scooter one kick is all you need since the wheel diameter is twice as big, 4 times faster than a skateboard, They flow and turn better than a skateboard. in a competition scooters riders would blow away skateboards, because they are way faster and air far higher.

Why do you scooter? Is it because you someday hope to turn it into a career? Is there even a scootering career? Do you just enjoy it? When will you stop - doesn't it look weird seeing adults trick scootering as a career?

If you were to persuade me to start scootering, what would you say?

Last but not least, pick one. BMX - Skating - Scootering ~ Why?

Its fun, plus I love freestyle sports of every kind. No. Sorta? Yes, after college probably. No.

Nothing, personal choices are personal choices

I skated, then BMXed, and now I scooter. So Scootering.

I used to skate and bike. I had fun with both. But somehow I felt limitations due to size and strength. I was in guitar class one day and my teacher told me to think out side of the box. That thought stuck with me so later that day there were a bunch of kids rippin on a scooter rider. I basically told them to shut the fuck up and went and hung out with the kid. For 11 years old he was a really chillin kid. I asked to try his scooter and felt amazing. Later on with my friends we found a razor street and spray painted the bars and welded the fold mechanism and what not and went riding. We were so amazed with how fun it was. Yet they still thought it was stupid. Next day I took it to the skate park and learned so many new tricks. I went home that night and told my mom what I wanted for my birthday. Igot the blunt complete scooter. 2 weeks later I could bar spin tail whip 360 feeble smith half cab etc... All of these bikers were watching me do this and as the days went on they would literally msg me and they would leave there bikes at home and come scooter. SCOOTERING IS A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
