i swear to god fuzion has to be the most smooth talking company ever. they diss the sport and then post some pics of a god damn grit scooter and talk irrelevant bullshit and people hop on their dick.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql0YL0Bt7P4 this isnt a company that cares, its a company thats here to make money. just like proride. yes all companys want to make money but most of them try to progress the sport as much as they can. proto, micro, inward, lucky, tsi, phoenix, razor and micro started the damn sport and helped it grow up to where it is right now, all the videos they have released to the public, and fuzion come up and tell kids to ditch the 2 wheeler and people STILL think they are a good company. fuck that shit.
they cant even come up with a god damn name. the name of the grit they are putting their name on is called the grit elite. HOW FUCKING ORIGINAL.

Well I think it's just companys trying to put out something other than the standard T-bar or stupid deck or ompression or whatever. In order for us to even think about getting close to the X-games, let alone being respected, more companies are needed, bringing in more money (which the X-games is all about), meaning more taking other designs and tweaking them to make it a company's own.
How exactly are Pry bars exactly like Crowbars when Crows tapered HIC most of the time and Luckys never are? And how the Y gussets are different? And someone fill me in on whether or not Pry bars have backsweep because if you don't then they're completely different than Crows.
For example.
That's an old ass commercial get off that horse kid.
Fuzion is trying to actually get into the sport now, and by sending out prototypes to legit riders, theyr'e doing the right thing.

dude, it doesnt matter that they are making scooters now, thats my point. they started out with "ditch the 2 wheeler" and now they realize theres much more money to be made with the 2 wheeler, so now all of a sudden the 2 wheeler is a good thing. they are doing the right thing for their wallets. they can be sending gold to legit riders (which they arent, they're sending grits), but it doesnt matter because they are doing it to try and get back into the very sport they told people to quit, so they can make money. yes i know its a big company and their only concern is money, but so is razor, and they have done a hell of a lot more for this sport than fuzion.
dont even try to convince me otherwise. as soon as they made that commercial they sealed my opinion of them.
im legit over this though. obviously im not going to make any impact on their profit margin (not like anyone on this sites going to buy one of those shitty grits anyway) so theres no point going on.

I have beef with proride. 1. I hate the fact there prices are extremely high
2. The fact that copied lucky's idea of a two piece deck like that even though if you think about micro extremes were the first 2piece technically. Also prorides bars that are have the v in the middle kinda are blatant rip offs of nick stricklers bars. and that really pisses me off because nick strickler innovated so much in our sport being the first one to bring the styling of flatland bmx into our sport. He inveted his own style completely and even made parts to support his style and he even said that in the future he planned on selling these parts to the public soon. But no, proride ruined that by stealing his design and quickly marketing them. Which really just gets on my tits(ya i went there). They also, like previously stated, copied scooterzones nipple design completely. I also just hate the whole attitude of the company how they just came into our sport and demanded respect like they were the best.

Daaaang nick strickler is freakin siiiiick. I see how they ripped off the lucky deck, theirs is exactly the same as the ego, except the brake mount is a little different. Prorides brake is exactly the same as Luckys too.
Couldn't find those bars on their website, althouh I've seen some that look a lot like them, and they weren't the ZG bars. They must have discontinued them or something.

Hmmm. Everyone take a look at that basic T design. Everyone used to do that, because it was the best design. At first, some people hounded companies for using that basic design, now it's just kind of a standard.
Eventually, we'll find the bar design that works best, and almost all bars will be made that way (with the only main differences being different geometry), just like bike bars.
Also, we may eventually find a deck design that works best, and it may be used as a standard for many, if not all decks. Just like bikes (all of their frames have the same basic design, just different geometry).
Although I must say, we would find these standards much quicker if some of the companies were a little more original with their products.
