I did beta test work for Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Remix. On Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 and BMX XXX (Was Dave Mirra 3 until Shawn Rosen from Acclaim Max Sports screwed us over) I did alpha/beta testing and worked in R&D as a Freelance Design Consultant. Basically, besides playing the games a lot I got to work with the Level Designers in every point of level ideas, concept, layout, creation, and implementation. Getting to be part of the process from writing notes on paper for level ideas, to wireframing the inital base levels, then applying textures, and finally riding it was one of the most amazing things ever for me. My favorite thing in DMFBMX2 is "Replicant's Drop" which is the only Rail-2-Rail Offset Axis grind that a rider can be credited for in the game. The actual game engine couldn't properly cover those variables without making a PS2 just seize up everytime. Todd Robinson one of the LD's figured out a way to fake it, but wouldn't ever show me how he did it. All I know is that he has every corner of that building spot unmerged in wireframe. =)

the BMX'ers are cool when they're off their bikes. (at least in my town) I've met some chill guys from out of town, but you don't see them around much.
Problem is, the skatepark in my town is very small, with almost everything falling into one line. The bikers hog this entire run, doing nothing at all, or just sitting on something random in the middle of the run. That, and it seems like none of them notice when you are skating something, and just ride by, almost freaking crashing into you. I have nothing against BMX'ing, I just don't like any of the ones in my town.

I've been watching ebay the past week or so and I was able to grab the Xbox versions of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 and Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for $6.20 ($4.00 of which was USPS Priority 3-Day Shipping). It was only $2.20 total for both games when I won the auction. Now to get back into practice.

I ride a scooter, I am 24 years old and i know proper park etiquette. The problem isn't the equipment the person is riding, it's the person riding it. Yes young kids on scooters are especially annoying but on any given day I can point out the same amount of young kids on bikes and skateboards being guilty of the same things. Scooters get a bad rep but everyone at my skatepark gives me respect and I give them the same respect in return. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
I love watching skateboarding and skateboarders, there is just something amazing about it. I consider myself blessed if i had any talent on a real skateboard. Nothing has ever come natuarally to me but I have always had a strange attraction to the obscure and smaller tight knit communities like this one and the scooter scene is the same way. Jest a bunch of people doing waht makes them happy and not giving a shit waht other people think abouut it.
Think about it like this I probably get the same response from people when I tell them I ride a scooter as you would get if you told someone you made skate videos on a video game.
Oh heyyy almost forgot! To anyone wondering, scootering is far from dead there have been huge progressions in scootering in the recent years and there are plenty of companies pushing invation and riders doing thing wyou would have never imagined.
This is waht real scooter riding looks like...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se1ZbIJahuc

Never lead,
Never follow,
Always walk alone.
