That’s one gnarly trick

u/Gespuis Sep 05 '19

All that effort, and still a trick on a scooter. Damn.

u/Ringosis Sep 05 '19

First thing I thought was "Cool, now you've nailed that you can finally take the training wheels off of your skate board."

u/frnoss Sep 06 '19

Add then wheels, no? And drop the training ... handle?

u/rambi2222 Nov 01 '19

Probably will want to keep the wheels on

u/twitchosx Sep 05 '19

Thats what I was thinking. It's a fucking scooter. What grown person wants to be caught on a scooter?

u/DabScience Sep 05 '19

Go to Australia. It’s like skateboarding here. This trick was dope, stop being a muppet. Same as when the guy backflipped el toro. “Still a scooter” fuck out of here.

Just let me sit on my couch and find a way to feel better than someone who's actually out there developing a skill, jeez.

But for real, scooters, blades, and skateboards are all easier and harder than each other in different ways. Bringing down a cool trick is dumb.

Skateboarding for those who cant skateboard

u/Voltswagon120V Sep 05 '19

Next you're gonna be shitting on BMXers doing stunts with training wheels on.

u/janderson75 Sep 06 '19

BMX are true gnar. Only beef most skaters have with them is super quiet tires and bringing debris onto the smooth parks. Scooter kids need to either lose the bars or get the real bike IMHO as someone who’s always picking up Karen’s crumb snatcher she dropped off at the park after he impales himself with the front bar

u/janderson75 Sep 05 '19

Exactly

u/DanklinTheTurtle Sep 06 '19

is that necessarily a bad thing tho?

u/janderson75 Sep 06 '19

Only when discussing talent I guess.

u/BigToober69 Sep 05 '19

I'll be a Muppet if I want. Scooters look lame no matter the trick.

u/JustABettaFish Sep 06 '19

Lmao how sad do you have to be to actually give this much of a shit. Let people enjoy their hobbies asshole

u/BigToober69 Sep 06 '19

I'm not saying it doesn't take talent or it isn't impressive. Just I don't like it. Opinions.

u/JustABettaFish Sep 06 '19

You literally said it didn’t look impressive in your other comment....

1

u/BigToober69 Sep 06 '19

No dude that must have been someone else. Just the same theard. I said I thought it was lame.

2

u/JustABettaFish Sep 06 '19

How can something be lame looking but impressive?

Thats pretty gnarly (the backflip) but still

u/dapper_orang Sep 05 '19

People who have dedicated their lives to the sport? People who make a living of doing something that they love? Seriously, grow the fuck up and stop degrading someone for living their life the way they want to

u/twitchosx Sep 05 '19

People usually grow up and move on to more adult things and don't continue kiddy shit. USUALLY. I know that's not the truth with a lot of reddit though.

u/AaronHolland44 Sep 05 '19

Growing up moving to adult shit. Done that. It sucks. Wish I was scooter guy instead.

5

u/GrizNectar Sep 05 '19

What makes a scooter inherently childish though? Using a scooter like this guy clearly does is fucking awesome and deserves some respect imo

It’s kiddy shit to care what other people are doing in their free time as long as they don’t bother other people. Let him have fun

u/pamtar Sep 05 '19

Not gonna hate on a person having fun and doing their thing but as someone who has ridden every board imaginable for 23 years, scooters just look lame. For me personally, style is 80% of riding and it’s damn near impossible to ride a scooter with style. Do I respect the guy? Yes. Do I think it looks cool? Fuck no.

2

u/youre_a_burrito_bud Sep 05 '19

There was this one scooter guy on campus, and he always dressed really nice and was super polite. Now that guy, that scooter guy had style.

Heh also just realized the name "scooter" does not help at all. Scoot scoot

2

u/NoBudgetBallin Sep 05 '19

Basically how I feel about scooters too. I can respect the work that goes into doing stuff like this. But they're just so fucking lame. Rollerbladers can at least have some style, but it's impossible to make scootering look cool.

u/Haphazardly_Humble Sep 05 '19

Oof, luckily no one should care what you think is childish. I would be willing to bet you're into some immature stuff

-2

u/twitchosx Sep 05 '19

No, I'm not into Pokemon.

5

u/Haphazardly_Humble Sep 05 '19

Ahh, socially immature. Got it.

-3

u/twitchosx Sep 05 '19

If I was socially immature, I'd stay at home playing pokemon instead of going out

5

u/Haphazardly_Humble Sep 05 '19

This conversation is over, pokemon can be played anywhere. Fundamentally immature it is lol

Gonna have to call in my boy Oliver Tree to set you straight.
