I want to see that in the next summer olympics.
What the hell was that? Imagine the abuse this guy too learning the tricks. I’ve never seen a skate park where you can rock up on a scooter and not catch flack… I’m just imagining people’s faces as they tease the guy just before he drops into a bowl and pulls an inverted triple bar spin.
great
A comment on my own post. Looks like a lot of skateboarders hate skooters. I don’t like the name scooter but the actual thing itself is not a problem 4 me.
