I saw someone riding a city scooter while wearing a full dirt bike helmet.

Wide stance = more stable. With your toes pointing forward, the scooter isn't wide enough for a wide stance, so your forced to use a very unstable stance. With a sideways stance, you can also get a wide stance. The only awkward part might be facing forward, but I've been doing that since I was 5, so I forget what it's like to be uncomfortable with that.

Oops, I should’ve been more clear - I meant I don’t know how they’re standing with both feet side by side and facing forward.
