combinations and lines that they would not normally find in a skatepark.

-Most scooter riders enjoy street riding, but only a small group would declare themselves as
focusing strictly on street riding.

-When street riding, most scooter riders focus on cleanliness of tricks, or how easy it looks for a
rider to do them.

-Street scootering also focuses on a rider's style or original way of doing tricks or looking while
riding a scooter.
