Ok, so i have a razor pro, yes they suck, but its all i have for now. i can only get one part to add to the scooter, what part should i put on the scooter (new bars, deck, wheels, etc.) i can double whip, fs grind, 360 180 i go to the skatepark when i can (when staff isnt there) but i ride street more than park. Im 5'2 and 100 pounds. i was thinking about blunt stripper bars for my first part, then i would get some inward hybrid threaded forks (zero offset) then some proto sliders, a blunt triple clamp, then a headset (good threaded one). I can only get one so that doesnt matter, what should i get and where can i get it.. Thanks hope u can help..

yeah definitley the bars first, and don't get a "good" threaded headset, get a cane creek or fsa, although they are threadless, they will still work with threaded forks and are much more dialed.
also!! bolt your pro if you haven't already

Get some bars. VertX standard T-bars will serve you well for a while at least.

BUT since bars cost almost as much as a Razor ultra pro. Go for a RUP. They some with decent one piece bars, reinforced fork, better bearings and a one piece deck.

Smart, smart man.
Once you buy a RUP the only thing you'll need for it are new wheels until you break something, which will probably be a while, its a pretty good scooter.

razor pro forks are worse than bad, so depending on ur budget i'd get inward forks... or they're evil cheapo twin, grits

the other crap parts on rp's are the bars. blunt strippers are amazing. enough said

Not really. RUP forks will last you long enough. You only really bend them from throwing your scooter away, not from actual riding.

RUP bars are actually really good. I only bent one pair and that was from trying to 180 over a fence and smashing the downtube onto the fence.

Dude just buy a RUP, buy some demon cores or vertx wheels if you can and just shred until you snap forktubes or break bars THEN start upgrading. I pretty much rode my RUP until it was falling apart then I converted to threadless and got metal cores.

See if you can save up more cash by selling some stuff you don't need/use
maybe a razor ultra black lable would be good?

I'd start with a stronger threaded fork like a DSA then grips, wheels, bars
in that order

thanks guys u really helped, i guess ill get bars first like u guys said then wheels, and if my forks start to bend like my old ones did then ill get inward forks, i didnt know zero offsets where bad for gaps so i guess thats not a good idea... but thanks.

It's really sad how half of the people talking, have absolutely NO idea what they're talking about. First out of anything, if you can, definitely get a Razor Ultra Pro. If you can't, bolt your folding mechanism if it isn't already. Then do exactly as Rob said, I completely agree.
