I started off skating as my older sister has friends that used to be really good at skating, so I tried that out and the first day they taught me how to drop. I thought skating was pretty cool until I met a new cousin of mine and he was really good at scootering and had a professional sponsor.
He moved here from Australia because his mom married my uncle, so he joined our family and we lived quite close to my local skatepark, so I would always see him riding there. When I saw him scootering I thought it was so cool and wanted to be just as good as him, so I got the old razor scooter out and started using that. I then fell in love with scootering and got a new scooter and started progressing to what I am now.
Scootering is an amazing sport as you are able to get outside and have fun learning new tricks, like a Flair. This trick isn’t too hard for me as I have had years of practice doing the trick but I would personally say it’s a 5 out of 10 difficulty because it’s scary going over your head while doing a 180.
Flairs are one of my favourite tricks as they have a very nice flow to them while they are a nice trick to do and see. I also like this trick as not many people can do it, making them somewhat rare to see.
Scootering is a sport you have to keep working at and giving it your best to become good at. It definitely isn’t as easy as people say it is, you have to put in the work to become good.
