exclusive Don Wigent interview

Question:With all the cool choices out there what made you decide to ride a scooter? (good choice, by the way!)

Answer: I rode a schwinn stingray , rode my brothers skateboard , couldnt keep up with him (hes REALLY good on a board) , I had a couple friends with BMX bikes that tried to ride ramp but never pedaled, and finally saw a kid watching us ride halfpipe in my backyard ...he was holding a scooter......it looked like a perfect compromise...I bought it for 35$ that day and never looked back.

Question: Everybody always remembers 'Scooter Don', what do you think of this popularity?

Answer: it stands out but seems more memorable than popular...kind of like deuce bigalow....memorable but not cool.

Question: How does the noise from the crowd effect you?

Answer: I cant hear a thing...one or two words keith says, and thats it...sometimes laughs from a joke i didnt hear.

Question: Do you ever get distracted while riding?

Answer: Never...cant even hear keith remember...focus dainielsan!

Question: Have you ever gotten any serious injuries while riding? (we've seen you slide under a table, but we're talking more serious than scrapes and bruises!)

Answer: broken one finger, one thumb, one leg and knocked unconcious with amnesia.....25yrs total riding.

Question: Any thought you'd like to share on closing?

Answer: do not spectate your life away listening to others music, watchin others sports, admiring others work achievements...doing ANYTHING makes you happier...it doesnt matter if its becoming a famous physicist, scooter riding, or building matchstick sculptures....Lie on your death bed thinking of how you gave it your all and tried every chance you got...even to fail trying beats watching TV.
