I talked with many wormers in the past who are a passionate skateboarder as I am.
I started playing WA and skateboarding around the same time and still doing both. (Skateboarding without the long break tho)
So I was just wondering.
Who is out there skateboarding too?
I also think, there are some similarities espacially between roping and skateboarding.
When I saw nlF coming up back then, I wanted to join them because I mostly did freestyle skateboarding in that time.
And it felt just the same with the roping. Mostly played warmers, which basicly was like being outside training freestyle tricks and talking shit with friends.
First flipping some 360 flips on the street and later spinning the pumps up the map:D
Someone who can relate? :)
Yeah, I've skateboarded for a long time, not so much lately.. But i've been meaning to get back on it : :-*
Always enjoyed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, 3 and 4 back in the days. I never got into skating though. But the games and real life skating is very similar to roping Indeed.
I used to skate too, still have one, ill look for some old pics to post here soon, the king on skate!
Warmers ARE freestyles, just the terminology was called Warmers first and always will be the most recognised terminology.
Slight off topic.

I think the name of the scheme ''Warmer'' should be changed to Free Rope, Freestyle or something else. The terminology ''Warmer'' may be confusing for anyone who doesn't visit TUS frequently. I think most new player would associate ''Warmer'' to a ''normal'' worms scheme. But I see an argument that could be made for this suggestion ''They are new to the game, and if they want to learn more schemes, they should ask people or look it up themselves.''. That's true but my point is that a new name could help make it clearer what the mode is about, and what to expect from it. It could also encourage people to get into rope too.
I can understand that this suggestion may be out of the question for people who are already established themselves here for decades, and maybe even recent players.
Oh well, think of this post as me rambling :P
Maybe yeah Kradie.
We call them warmer because it's a combination of freestyle and warming up preparing for league matches.
Or at least that's how it was in 1999.
C'mon warmer is great name. It has so many interpretations... It defines the scheme very well. Although, Warmer is a proper scheme, distinct from other schemes. Even so, it it a warm up scheme. And that's it. Free style, but a heated free style.

I used to skate back in the day, like 2007 and before. Got into a really bad accident in 2007 and I gave up skating for good. Now, I am too old and fat to risk it. I pulled a muscle washing my back in the shower and have thrown my back out just standing up out of bed xD
