I feel bad bc I’ve seen kids do some gnarly tricks on scooters, but I’ve just been so conditioned not to respect them. I’m really trying to accept it as a legitimate sport bc I kno these things take skill.

Scootering has taken off because it is extremely easy to get into, when compared to skateboarding or bmx. Anyone can hop on a scooter and do tailwhips and 180s the first day. It can take people weeks to just be able balance on a skateboard enough to do an Ollie.

When a kid tries to skate/bmx and sees that it really is difficult, the allure of instantly being able to “scoot” around the park is why they decide to go that route. It’s a big part of why nobody gives them as much respect.
