have you guys watched a scooter edit lately
« on: September 30, 2022, 12:04:17 PM »
i was kind of curious to see what the state of scooting was like these days and came across this, so much is straight up bit from strobeck/modern skate videos, also the 2nd part with the end it song is genuinely funny, it's impossible to look cool scooting but these guys sure try

If I rode scooters I'd be hoping my face got cut out of the footage

this shit looks super lame and is obviously just trying to emulate skate culture and aesthetics. when your body is tied hands and feet to a device its super hard to get any real style across. good for them i guess

Consider your emotions as you watch this

Then remind yourself that a huge percentage of the world has the same emotions when seeing skateboarding

I wonder if that enhances how much i hate this

I think about this every time I'm inclined to make fun of scooterers/bladerz/etc.

Those giant handlebars are hilarious, I've never seen those before. Maybe they're less silly looking than the little narrow ones? Makes bar spins harder? Easier? These guys look like they weed vape in Duane reade and shoplift gatorade.

At first I was inclined to say that scooters are seen as more childish than skateboards. Thinking about it and considering how prevalent electric scooters are these days, skateboarders may well be seen more childish.

While there is certainly truth to this, what I would say to this person is that the difference between the two is that skateboarding has an extraordinarily rich and deep culture intersecting with so many mediums, impacting global culture at large, whereas scootering is total horseshit.

They’re both toys tho.

Yeah, but I hate both scootie boys and skateboarders.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

The first dude made me think: what if, in The Place Beyond The Pines, he rode a scooter instead of a dirtbike? I would watch that.

Humans were able to evolve larger brains when our ancestor’s stood upright and freed their hands for tool use. Those free hands then allowed for cooking and higher protein consumption. Basically I’m saying scootie boys are knuckle dragging lesser apes.

consider no one on a scooter (as far as i know) has ever had a shoe sponsor, let alone a pro shoe
bmx or scooter will never come out with a game like THPS either, that shit hit hard. it wasnt even the best game (thrasher skate and destroy is a mcuh better game and came out within months of THPS 1) but there is no denying the cultural influence it had at the time. because there were so many less games, and less GOOD games, THPS just happened to hit at a certain perfect time

It’s like they took the lamest parts of skateboarding, bmx, and rollerblading and combined it into one sport.

Scooters have had all the same pro shit skaters have for like the last 12 years or more and there was a thps like game for ps1 for scootering. It was basically grind session 2 it was pretty alright.

Probably some dude looked at the scooter and said to himself - damn this is so stupid and lame , then broke the handle thing and did  couple of power slides downhill in leather jacket

It's also not completely true. There were skateboards in Germany and probably France. France invented rollerskates to replace skis and ice skates for the summer there were also skateboards that people sat on like a toboggan. (There's a video of Nazis playing with one) chances are they also made a skateboard somebody stood on like a single ski (waterskiing was already a thing in the 20s) but that doesn't line up with the cool surfers invented it when there were no waves story.

There was a hilarious clip posted on Slap around 5 or 10 years ago that I can no longer find (kinda like the Arne Stein white whale Dylan vid) but this kid that looked like Frodo was doing all kinds of steezed out no comply skooter tricks at a skatepark. Some of the funniest shit I've seen on here...
