people better than you? people worse than you? nobody at all?
I ride with people worse than me because i actually learn crap because there isnt somebody bringing me down saying im doing it wrong.

i barely started getting really into riding so the people i ride with are usually a lot better than me..there's things i've developed pretty quickly that they don't have down but for the most part having good people around me has helped my development

I usually ride with like 3 or my friends and one they are about even with me but we can each do different tricks so it keeps things interesting. Sometimes we ride with like 7 other people with all skill levels and its pretty fun. Some people are dicks though like this one guy he had the same wheel as my friend and my friend said that and he was like "but the difference is I put my wheel to work" and its like whatever dude.

I prefer to ride with a lot of people that are better than me mainly because i like picking up stylistic tricks and such. But usually i ride with people that are below my level. Or someone that is basically at it. In all honesty, im happy to ride with anyone because i like to talk to people and ride and have games of B.I.K.E. its always fun as long as there are people that arent retarded 4 year olds on scooters. I have even ridden with a pro scooterer haha! He was so cool and im not making this up! His name is Max Caldwell and even tho its a scooter, he tears up!!

Nahh i totally get what you are saying, trust me. This guy isnt like a normal scooterer haha he actually does big stuff! He did this 720 whip thing over a huge island! He does some high flair tucks and all kinds of stuff. He even knows all about BMX and stuff haha his style kinda reminds me of BMX. I dont have a problem with people that are actually good at it, i have a problem with the idiot little kids. I do think that in comparison to BMX, BMX is head and shoulders above scooting, scooting doesnt look as cool, it looks very awkward and BMX has a great stance to it, very manly in fact. Scooting does not, or atleast, only the good ones do.

I've never ridden with another bmx rider. Sometimes i'll ride with skaters at the park. It's funny though cuz a lot of the time i'm better at skating than them.
I love my bike but i hate myself

Lately it has been nothing but solo sessions that I have been filming to try to get an edit together. I ahve a minute or two of clips so far. Need some more to make it AWESOME. All of it is at my local plaza though, so no variety of spots so far.

I usually ride with no one or people that are "less skilled" than me. Like you said, no one puts you down. Every time I ride with better people or pros, I feel like shit and it's all bad. And my friends fuck around too much and unnecessarily sometimes, and it's super annoying.

Yeah dude scootering just looks like these guys riding around on a piece of metal but to me biking looks way more badass.
