anyone on here actually nice at scooters? Ive been at the skatepark everyday this summer pretty much. I am more of a park rider.

Ik most yall old heads gonna hate, but scootering is tuff. I feel it transfers over to skiing more than skating.
And I can skate all you haters. I can still kickflip and treflip after not skating for 3 years, so dont hit me with the skating was to hard for me bs. I just like scootering more, i can do flips and shit, just like skiing.

want to start working out more, to be able to whip around my scooter faster like a true park rider. plus i just copped a v1 pandamonium for cheap. i can still 50 50 the 4.5 though.

feel free to discuss scooter stuff , or hate idc

Are the lime scooters super fucked up everywhere? I was biking along boulder creek a while ago and there was at least 50 scooters in the water, and some spots where they piled above the water, like what the fuck? Is this specific to drunk CU kids?

Are we talking like razor scooters? Not the ev style?

McLaren and pure just dropped a colab of some of the f1 cars.

I hate that E-scooters became a thing. With people being people, they end up in waterways, up in trees, and in other hard to reach areas. If it's too hard for the person who recharges them to collect, they become trash

Those E-scooters are dangerous. Should be banned or made to have mandatory traffic theory classes. Every single time I walk in a city I see something dangerous happening on those fuckers. People drive them on sidewalks even though they are allowed only on bike lanes. They drive trough cross walks full speed. There is no time to react to them vs normal walker. They increase unwanted emergency room traffic. Drunk people almost kill themselves and other with those every weekend. People can't park them properly to their designated parking spots. People are fucking monkeys and shouldn't be allowed to touch those things. Instead walk or bike or use the tram.







Fuck e-scooters, fuck people.

The rental ones are horrible which is why a lot of cities across the US banned them. The ones you buy are a different story usually

It is impossible to have any swag when the thing you are riding is called a “scooter”

”like hey bro you trying to go scoot later?”
