A Guide For Scooter Kids

Right, was at the park on friday, "where the fuck did all these scooter kids come from, theyre multiplying"

Constantly having to shout "MOOOOOVE" just before hitting the ledge/blacks because their favourite trick is "ride infront of the skater"

getting more annoyed by retarded apparently blind scooter kids, me and my friend do a couple of powerslides near them to show dominance and annoyance, one complains to his dad. his dad didnt even care, literally said "stop bieng a pussy and get on with it" so that he could carry on playing on his i-phone. then he left s.hortly after

Later im about to do a trick on a flatbank and some scooter rolls up next to me, tries to tailwhip and smashes me in the foot with his scooter. i now have a lovely bruised foot. still i dont lose my temper i just tell him to look where hes fucking going.

few hours pass, were chilling on the grass having a drink, i see the bin is on fire! i shout "why the fuck is the bin on fire" same scooter kid says "it was a dare" so i flip out hard on these scooter kids, make them put it out and tell them to fucking go home.  literally force them to leave the park. they just go about 10 meters away and start smashing bottles on the basketball court. "how do i reeeach these keeeds"

if any of this shit happnes next time i have no option but to engage hulk mode, that, or snitchy mc-telling-your-parents mode

one of the scooter boys that annoyed me few years ago in his early age quickly became the best skater of my region and is a cool friend of mine now...

that said, there's a bunch of fucking scooters in the park nowadays

There is a scooter pro here in Sacramento, dude is in his late 20's or early 30's and does shit like tail whip lip slides on the handrails. No matter how gnarly he gets I can't help but snicker that the dude is on a fucking scooter.

It could be worse. instead of, lets say, 20 scooter kids against 5 skaters, 15 (at least 3 of them gym-roided) bladers against 1 skater (that's me in my local park). They literally forced me to stop going there by waxing the place >9001 when this older dude stopped caring about skateboarding (its kinda funny how all of them were afraid of one dude and whenever he wasnt they acted all alpha). now the flat is slickier than the berrics and even doing flatgroud tricks your griptape gets a 1-3mm layer of wax. not to talk about the coping.

obv moved to another two skateparks that are near and way better, but shit sucked.

ouccch

The funny thing that occurred to me about scooters is, they are to skateparks what skateboards are to the rest of the city. It used to be someone (older) would come out and get pissed at kids for skating their stairs or ledges or whatever. Now skaters are the ones getting pissed (at younger kids) who want to use our parks. Don't get me wrong, scooters drive me bonkers and I'd love to throw those kids the hell out, but there is an irony to it, is all I'm saying.

Not an epidemic story, but a few years ago I was at the local park, not too crowded and a kid pulls up with some Hollister gear and a scooter. After getting mean mugged and some shit talked at him, he starts going for a tailwhip down the big set, like right away. In a couple trys he lands on it, and smashes the fuck out of one of the wheels. Instead of getting a new wheel, he throws the whole setup in the trash, walks to his car, and pulls one of several spare scooters out of his trunk! We asked him about it and he said they were so cheap it was was easier to just ride a new one each time at like 30 bucks a pop. Can't remember if he ever stuck the tailwhip...

Then maybe she will show you her b-sides, amirite?

Anyway, the park I go to is fucking covered with scooters/bikers. I mean, I'm all for little kids doing what they want and shit. Who am I to judge what's "cool" vs. "not cool" for fuckin little kids to be spending their time on?  The only shit that starts to bother me is when they can't understand that I am trying to skate that fucking bank to bench right now and you have sat on it like 5 times and each time I'm like "Hey man, I'm trying to skate that." damn it. Other than that, it's whatever to me. I'm not going to try and make myself feel like I'm better or something because I chose a different toy to play with at the local concrete obstacle course.
