I know what you mean, I looked into getting a pro model before I bought my Madd, and realised quickly that $150 was just a little out of my budget range right now. $50 + Couple bucks for bolts and stuff, much better!
Yeah but Id say pro models are alot more strong and will probably last 4 or 5 times longer than a Madd or Blade... Which would pretty much mean that they will turn out cheaper in the end.
Don't let the name "Pro" model put you off theres a few people on here that can barely tail whip and have pro models. They last longer but Id say just get one once your Madd breaks... Or just keep riding Madds.
yeah man blades r the sickest scooters ever.....their like $50 and you can just mod the f--- out of them to make them beter then razors or wateva... this one im riding that is nearly dead lasted AGES!!!!!! im talking nearly a year when razors only last like 2-3 weeks
