It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I did enough dumb dangerous shit on a regular bike when I was a kid, if they had ebikes and eboards back then I'd probably be long dead.

This summer I was at the skatepark and this teenage boy took an electric trike into the bowl, absolutely shredding the coping on the deep end. Kid was a multi discipline talent - skate, bmx - but trike? Electric? Wtf?!

Me and this other dude look at each other, both of us in our 30s, and we’re in unison thank god we didn’t have those back then!
