No hate from me, but im sure 99% of NS will hate on this thread.  And although you claim scootering is not dead because you are still doing it, scootering is indeed dead and will remain that way until a rocket propelled scooter is invented.

dont care. ive paid my dues on this site. go here: http://www.scooterresource.com

i am not the only one who still scooters. it may be underground, and thats fine, it doesnt need to be underground. look how BMX was in the early 90s and late 80s. we dont need to blow up. but it is far from dead.

yup, lotsa stuff you gotta do to a Razor "pro" or B model deck scooter to make it strong and durable. Original "A" model scooters work as well but are less common.

scooterings dead 8 years ago every one on the black had one now no one has them anymore really and as good as that kid is at scootering in the last video i think we can all agree that he does look like a complete homo and the scooter just looks rediculous on him cuase hes a full grown kid vs a 10 year old.

i'd say ripsticks are about 3 times more ownage, and they came out with one with a metal part in the middle to hit up the rails.

Scootering has always be a favorite of mine, and always will. Although the scooter haters are exponential, I have the right to believe that it will never die as a whole.

Scootin' is the sheezy. It really is pretty fun, whether you're 10 or 20. Plus it doesn't take that long to learn tricks, I scooter maybe once a month, and I can do 1's, 3's, t-whip's, and barspins. Pretty sweet little sport.

well, its close to dead in the eyes of most people, but for me its fun to dick around on a scooter in the summer when im not doing my turf setup. im trying to learn to tailwhip. i can jump pretty well but when i whip it around its always way too slow, about 1/2 the speed it needs to be. any tips?

I'm sorry, that last video was gay. The edit of you was way better. Why didn't that guy hit any rails, and why did he manual so much.

there was a video awhile ago that had some guy flipping out of a bowl, that was cool

i'm not sure if scootering is dead but it wont progress any more cause there is only so much you can do.

no hate but the most legit thing i saw was the zero spin of the three set in the last video. but nothing really blew my mind
