KEEPING PEOPLE ACTIVE
SPORT
Scooter riding is one of the most popular wheeled sports for young people across the world. It is estimated that scooter riders make up over 50% of participants in skateparks, and as high as 80-90% in some skateparks.
However, the sport is nowhere near reaching its potential yet and if constantly evolving. Let’s Go Scoot has been created to support the scooter industry and riders who participate as a sport.
Let’s Go Scoot provides guidance on how to get involved and progress within the sport. Everything a rider needs to know is right here from safety, skatepark etiquette, where to go scooter ride, how to get lessons and enter comps.
MIRCOMOBILITY
There are even more scooter riders using scooters for fun, transportation and general mobility. Many of these riders are not aware of freestyle scooter riding or other scooter sports. Let’s Go Scoot aims to bridge this gap and make scooter sport even more accessible. Furthermore, Let’s Go Scooter will promote road safety and environmental matters.
Helping support a healthy industry
So much talent is grown from a young age in the scooter community. Riders that get into filming, photography, marketing, retail and become budding entrepreneurs. It is super important that riders remain within the sport and help develop it. Let’s Go Scoot is designed to support young people and provide opportunity.
Furthermore, businesses such as skateparks and event organizers are the backbone of scooter riding, and require support. Let’s Go Scoot is an ongoing project dedicated to the industry, community and action sports.

These businesses also help the ISA develop further standards, campaigns and assist with the development of the sport.
