Reason #1: Scooters are easy
It really does not take someone very long to learn scooter tricks, which makes skills and riding scooters less of a big deal and less cool. On average it takes BMX riders 3 years to learn tailwhips, while someone can learn tailwhips in one day on a scooter. Scooters are making things too easy and attracting kids because of how easy tricks are.
Reason #2 : You look ridiculous
Lets be honest, riding a toy that is meant for kids under 10 is not the most attractive or cool thing. Especially when people run their handlebars super low and hunch over the bars. If you thought BMX riders looked goony, then scooter riders are something else.
Reason #3: You're in the way!!
The biggest problem I have with scooter kids by far is in the skate park. Besides how silly the whole "sport" is, the scooter kids crowd the skate park by the dozens on some days, and block your way because they have absolutely no skate park ettequite whatsoever. My rule is if youre under 10 years old and ride a scooter, its ok, its a kids toy, but if youre 15 or 16 and take it seriously, then thats where I draw the line. I can't tell you how many times I've hit a scooter kid on my bike trying to ride the park. There are a few kids at the park I respect but the majority I despise of.
How to stop this epidemic?
Start kids off at a young age by teaching them the love of bikes. Here's why bikes are better.
>Bikes keep you in shape, scooting around isn't much of a work out
>As they grow older, bikes don't look silly on them or become awkward
>Bikes are somewhat expensive, your kids will never have money for drugs or alcohol
>Bikes take you places and are efficient machines, unlike scooters
>Your child will not be bullied in the skatepark for being lame
In conclusion, ride a BICYCLE, not a scooter for an improved life in general.
