Like the title says... Why do parts have to be trendy such as Rad bars, SMX, Phoenix decks and so on. I think that a part is a part and that is it. Most trendy parts are also very strong and dont look that bad. Just thought id bring that up to discuss.

You're right bro. The reason kids say they're "trendy" is because everyone has them...for a REASON. And that reason is because they are well made, and made with quality. There IS a reason as to why things are "trendy"..

People who call stuff trendy (in a degrading manner) are people who spend all their time just trying to find something to bitch about.

Trendy parts(mostly), are the more widely used parts because they are good/reliable parts. Instead of trying to different, people just use what works. That's not a bad thing though.

Here's how trends start. People who are experienced who have tried many different parts and have a trustable opinion say what their favorite part is. Then people who don't have enough experience to really formulate their own opinions just use the experienced persons opinion. Nothing wrong with it, but that's why it's possible for trendy things to suck.

Treny parts are because they are good and strong. Like rads and smx are a beast of a part.
Also people think they are trendy because everyone has them. But there is some trendy kids. People who just buy parts to fit in and they suck. I like those kids because they make my scooter better. I trade them everything:)

I think parts are trendy because everyone goes out and buys them because all the pros ride em. Honestly most people don't even need those parts. Just get a RUP, throw some better bars on, get some Vertx wheels or demon cores and a new headset and you're set for a while until you start snapping fork tubes or bending the shit out of your forks while landing, not bailing.

Trendy parts are the stronger parts that people use, but there are also good alternatives that you might like so just look around and start your own trends. The only way the sport will progress is if you get other brands products and review them for the companys and riders to know.

You guys are completely right, they are "trendy" because they are nice parts, but there are kids who don't know good parts from bad, and just buy the ones that are "trendy"...

and people who think there trendy are hipsters. following thetrend to say those parts are trendy

Im a scooter hipster, other than my district and wheels my parts are all kinda obscure, calling things trendy doesnt make you a hipster, listening to bird noises and wearing leather neon jeans like a ------ does

These are what Ive been saying for years. Most parts that people consider trendy are some of the strongest parts or designs on the market. The people who complain most about trendy stuff are the people who are more worried about how their scooter looks, instead of how strong it is and how it performs.
If youre worried about being trendy, go ride a new A model. No one rides them, youll be nice and original.
