one thing about addict bars, I know it is personal preference but if they are so amazing why did mckeen switch to baby slayers even after having a sig bar from addict, this was before he left the team too. it could have been the size though.
also hcc what is your style of riding, is it similar to the street riding with a big setup, lots of grinds and manuals and in general not crazy flippy tricks or long combos or many whips?

Have you tried Flavor bars?
No, I haven't but I've thought about it getting them in the past

I'm sure it was just either the size or him not wanting backsweep

I think his scoot got stolen while he was on tour and he got hooked up with the bars so he just kept them, maybe I'm wrong

A fair few of my friends have snapped multiple pairs and I just feel sketchy riding cracked parts, they pretty much feel the same as any other Chinese made butted bars though haha. Have you tried Flavor bars?

Where they snapped? If it is only the gussets that doesn't make any Problem

I mostly only do ledge and rail combos. I also ride pyramid boxes a fair bit and a little bit of half pipe riding/airs. Don't really do manny stuff or flippy, whippy tricks and yeah I ride a 21.6" Sledge so my scoot is pretty big.

Yeah, gussets snapped off completely. It does affect your bars, for one it looks retarded riding bars with snapped gussets and they are there to stop your bars from bending as bars that have pre-bent top tubes tend to bend a lot easier without gussets as opposed to a bar that has never been bent before.

Jon Reyes's T sweep is really good. Light weight, Back sweep, strong af, it comes in a pretty big size and looks sick too!

Phoenix stopped making them since Jon left Phoenix but he'll have a new (better) version of the T sweep from Envy pretty soon. I'm really looking forward to see how good they come out!

baby slayers are the most comfortable bars for me, I used to ride like 27 high and honestly that was ridiculous high, personally I feel like i can get more pop with slightly smaller bars (25.5 high) then opposed to big bars like big T's or whatever

I feel like whenever you get new bars they're always the best bars you've ridden haha. I still remember you always ranting about how good epic rewinds were a couple years ago haha.

Honestly all bars perform somewhat the same, it's all about personal preference, i just love the way baby slayers look, and it is a good transition from really tall ass bars it just feels the best for me

rad crows are the most duarble bar ever made
No way hahah they're strong but definitely not the strongest, if you go through the broken scooter thread you see plenty that have snapped
I'd say the most durable would be Source bars, I know they haven't been out for all that long but .95" (thicker than TSI and Wee bars) thick cross bar and heat treated as well

thats just because soooo many people run them, if you wanna go by which bar has snaped the least choose some small company like source or wee

Yeah I know and they've been out a lot longer than most other bars but there's nothing about RADs that makes them stick out for me strength wise, while Source has the thicker crossbar. I think Source bars may have a thicker steer tube than standard as well but I'm not sure what the standard thickness is haha.
