Pretty much sums it up
I rode a scooter once (yeh I am a little ashamed) but I learnt 3whips, 3bars, a million variants of whip + spins/fakies Manuels, nose manuals, tucks and a whole lot of other tricks, all pretty easy
Admitadly there are a scant guys who undertake flairs, Fronty whips ect or just jump big as stuff.
I dislike scooter kids because A; there's so many of them B; they have no respect for there own safety and don't mind cutting people off
even me with my 26" wheels and no brakes, I wouldn't mind mowing them down but i usually get bruise too.
Last time I was at the skate park I was carving around the corner bowl and this kid just looked at me and dropped in on me, took me out, went over the bars and bruised and bloodied my hands. Was so pissed off and all he said was "fuck you idiot" Gah.
Another hour we were at the trails and four of them turned up, watched for abit and then decided it would be entertaining to sit in the middle of the last spring, which I didn't know and stuffed
yes its a scooter, no im not gay.
The claim that “scooters are gay” is an example of how stereotypes and prejudices can be applied to almost anything, from hobbies to personal choices. It’s essential to acknowledge that such statements are rooted in harmful assumptions and outdated attitudes, rather than facts or meaningful insights. In this article, we’ll examine why the idea that scooters “look gay” is not only unhelpful but also a distraction from the authentic issues around freedom of expression, personal preference, and inclusivity in society.
Understanding the Source of the Stereotype
The idea that something “looks gay” is often a way to marginalize or trivialize certain activities, behaviors, or people. The phrase “gay” has historically been misused as a negative descriptor for things or people that don’t fit traditional gender roles or stereotypes. This mindset persists in certain circles, particularly when people see things like scooters as “non-masculine” or “childish.”
This line of thinking stems from a narrow and outdated view of masculinity, where only certain behaviors or interests are considered appropriate. The issue with using “gay” in this context is that i
Here's a 2-minute production about a gay scooter gang that'll rev up your heart.
It's tough to explain the persistent intensity of having adolescent children if you haven't done it. It's marvelous, beautiful, magical and all of that—it truly is—but it's a lot. Appreciate, a lot. It's a bit like running an ultramarathon through the most beautiful landscape you can imagine. There's no doubt that it's amazing, but it's really, really tough. And sometimes there are storms or big hills or obstacles or twisted ankles or some other thing that makes it even more challenging for a while.
Unfortunately, a lot of moms feel love they're running that marathon alone. Some actually are. Some have partners who don't pull their weight. But even with an equal partner, the prior years tend to be mom-heavy, and it takes a toll. In evidence, that toll is so great that it's not unusual for moms to fantasize about being hospitalized—not with anything serious, just something that requires a short stay—simply to receive a genuine break.
