Portugal Scooters

The scooter riding scenes of Europe have flourished in recent years. Countries such as France, Switzerland, England, and the Czech Republic are notable for their large numbers of riders. But one country that has not had such a large scene is Portugal. The small country which borders Spain has only a handful of riders. However, these riders seem to truly love riding. There is a group of riders, ages 13-16, who recently made a video. The video features Jaylson Graca, Tiago Ferreira, Bibixo, Joao Ribeiro, and Antonio Silva. I was able to ask a few questions to each of them.

Why do you ride? I ride because I realy love it , if I can't ride I get sick , I'm totaly addict , nothing is better than scooters for me right now. when I scoot I abstract my mind the problems, the adrenaline involves my body and it makes me feel very good inside. when riding a scooter can feel that I have total control in the tricks like play whit it, nothing to compare with riding a bmx or skate.
