"Over 5 years ago we filmed a video with some of the world’s best scooter riders. I realized while filming with them that for some reason there was a big prejudice towards scooter riders. They got a ton of hate for putting their hearts into it. Something I’ve never seen towards athletes on this level. It was so bad that while filming at a park non scooter riders were mooning them and me/the camera.... 😳 No respect 😢 Even @redbull shared our original vid on their social media and took it down shortly after because they got so much hate from the skateboarding community saying scooter riders were “losers”. I was blown away by this rejection. Since that time though @theellenshowfeatured them on her show, and several other high profile people have pushed the sport, and that prejudice towards scooter riders has started to fade away. It’s been amazing seeing this sport evolve to where it at now. While filming we didn’t get any hate this time. Doesn’t matter what you do in life, there will always be rejection. If your passionate about it do it with all your heart and eventually people will see what your capable of and give you the respect you deserve, and that’s exactly what I’ve seen happen in this 5 years since the last vid! Embrace our differences. Ride on. Triple high fives to the scooter pioneers who have pushed this sport in a direction I would have never imagined."
