Scootering is dying, not developing.  When I was 10 every single person I knew had one.  Now I'm the only person I know that even owns one.  It is fun to ride when I'm drunk though and I can still tail whip.  Its one of the like remixed ones though with the little front shocks and the raised platform.  Its even got a wheelie bar on it. Haha
But ever since I replaced my broken skateboard I haven't even looked at it.
