1) So Tanner we all know who you are so there is really no point in asking but a question I do have is whats new in the life of Tanner Markley?
Well there's a lot new I just moved to Sandusky Ohio and its literally nothing like Cali out here so I've had to make a few adjustments but other than that I've literally spent all my time out here on my scooter trying to build up a scooter scene out here.
2) So your in Ohio? what exactly are you doing in Ohio? how did you get that job? also what is it you do?
I actually got a call from Ali (Razor manager) and he had asked me if I wanted to leave home to ride scooters full time at Cedar point Ohio in the All Wheels Extreme Show. So of course I was more than down that's what I've wanted to do since I was 10. When I got here I met some of the other riders and some of them I've been watching on TV, in the X Games since I was a kid. The show is basically a family show so its not like a demo or anything, everything is choreographed, it contains 2 Dancers, 3 BMX riders(1 Flatland, 2 Ramp Riders), 2 Inline Skaters, 3 Gymnasts and for the first time a Scooter Rider.
3) We all remember you from the first SCSK movie and DXG of course, but what are your
plans for the future with your new Sponsor ProRide?Right now I could not ask for anything more from ProRide its by far the best sponsorship I've ever had. I'm fully dedicated to ProRide and I'm going to try to do all I can to help this team out.
4) What is your most memorable moment on your trip in Ohio would you say?
Well I cant just pick out one but every show I get parents and kids coming up to me telling me how much I've inspired them to go out and buy a Scooter, but my first day at the theme park when I walked in and saw a huge stadium with All Wheels Extreme all over it, that definitely would be something I will never forget from this trip.
5) Do you think scootering will ever get to the level were riders will be able to support their lifestyles from it? if so what needs to happen in order for that to be a possibility?
No doubt in my mind. With all that has happened in the last few years this sport has a lot more still to come. The future of this world is kids and every kid I know loves scooters whether its doing tricks or just pushing around, and every time someone see's us pushing the limits on our Scooters, they know that they can do it too and I think eventually it will be as big as BMX or skating one day, its just a matter of time because there's still so many people out there that don't know about our sport.
6) Any last words or shout outs you would like to give?
Shout out to Ryan Hockwald, John Radtke, Twan, Jason Beggs, Ryan Frazer and the rest of the DXG crew riders that have been riding with me since the days of stock bolted pro models and still killing it every single day and helping build the sport without them I have no idea where I would be right now, but it would definitely not be here.

sorry, but scootering will never be on the level of bmx or skating. put down that scooter and grab a bike you will probably be good at it.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it already almost is on that level, and has only been around 10 years. Second, why come on a website run by scooter riders and for scooter rider, if you are only going to trash talk scooters?
