I started scootering because I was looking for something other than what all the kids my age did then, which was posing around on a bike. And i had already had my run at skating and it just wasn't for me. Then when i was with my friend at his house and rode his scooter while he tried 180s on flat. then i realized how much you could do, then i hit up youtube, became the first rider in my area, and now my park is filled with scooter riders. But i still scooter because i love every aspect of it, and to soon put together a crew of riders that I can make really good street stylish videos with, in order to push on the idea of scootering is just as real as skateboarding, and doesn't end at the park rats and the snakes. I think the main reason I scooter is to help be apart of movement of scootering in a positive direction in any way I can.
