eagles vs protos

[Mr. Proto]

Rob, I can pull a story out of my ass and make most people on SR believe it.

Just one more month and Proto will be garbage.

I don't believe it.

You can fool some of the people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time. Keeeeeeepeepeeeeeeepeeeep talkin' hahaha

"Made in the USA" actually means something you know? It means it is better. Always has, always will. Right now PROTO is made in the USA and in "one more month" PROTO will still be made in the USA, supporting American jobs and American small business instead of shipping them to some sweatshop overseas. Have fun trying to flood the market with Chinese crap. There is more to supporting a company then just buying their stuff. It is about knowing WHO you are supporting, WHERE your money is going and WHAT they are doing with it.

Anyone who buys PROTO can rest assured that the money we make off our parts is being used towards any of the following:

- Supporting the network of American small businesses we use to produce our parts and helping our economy sustain American jobs
- Develop some of the most innovative freestyle scooter parts in the industry
- Supporting one of the most talented teams ever assembled
- Helping pay for travel and filming sessions for a certain mind blowing video in the works
- Sponsoring camps, comps and events to help gain exposure for the sport as a whole

Anyone who rides PROTO parts should take pride in them because we take pride in what we do. We are not just some company who jumped into the sport to make a buck. Our roots are in this sport. We are friends and we are family on PROTO so I suggest you think twice before you continue spouting garbage.

old protos (and probably the new ones) had good grip and didn't death star. It's like a secret formula for softness and durability.

Basically.

i love you

PROTO by far. like when i got mine for Xmas and they dehubbed i thought they were shit but ive had eagles and they wear out to fast IMO and they have so little urathane. and protos look dank as fukc. ^^ totaly agree eagle is just here for the money and they dont care about the parts as much thats why there not legit and gino dosnt take pride in C4 he just does it to do it... he wont even send the people on the team wheels when hes suposed to be doing that where proto is legit as fukc and replaces anything if it brakes hella fast.. eagle just basically says well fukc you.

i rode an old proto and didnt think much of it so i went to eagles and found out that they are utter shit. protos feel way better and you dont deathstar every 5 seconds. the new protos are amazing

proto>micro>eagle

[Jdbug_rob]

Rayan simian broke one, and i'm sure others have. check the broken scooter thread.

We are not just some company who jumped into the sport to make a buck.

+1

U.S.A U.SA lol damn its getting heated in here. whatever the topic may be an argument can never really be won on which one is better. Its about preference, location, how, where you ride. Honestly i have never rode protos nor eagles so i cant say which one i preferred (Yaks ftw). Both companies are doing great things for the sport and competition can hopefully fuel for some amazing products to be made =)

 

[felinaferoz]

really? this is so lame.
Gino is misrepresenting eagles b/c he has a bad fucking attitude.
i cant fucking believe that after all this shit youve all fucking been through to grow the fucking sport you cant shut the hell up and accept each other.
your both SO lame and im glad i dont buy product from either of you.

Proto cores are obviously very strong its like a brick of alu with slots at a 45 degree angle, that cant get bent.
the first batch were a failure but it happens and the glue is fixed now.
i like the new colors but i cant say anything for the PU, but as i ride with people who have them i have fucking eyes the PU seems to last peachy
i HIGHLY disagree that they are fast its soft PU and it is NOT possible.

I PERSONALLY PREFER eagles and they are extremely well made AND MADE IN THE NETHERLANDS NOT CHINA. other products are made in china NOT the wheels so w/e.
congratulations all American products for all you american nationalists

my wheels are super fucking fast and so are my (eagle) ceramic bearings i switch with other scooters all the time (usually elmers), those wheels are by far THE fastest and if you want to find out how fast they are ill see you in NY at the ally cat.

you all complained that putting bearings in the slots were too hard, so they were made the TINEST BIT bigger so you can just stick your bearings right in
and now you complain b/c you think theyre ovalizing.

it is possible to ovalize SOME of them but its SO slight and bend bend them if you lil steve apparently.
depends on who you are how you ride and what wheel youve got
but they are also about 50 pounds less heavy than protos.
and the newer sigs have a thick ass bearing slot and theyre not shaped like a mesa like the old micros so you shouldnt be clicking like a fucking dolphin when you roll down the street.so wake up

and entering this sport to make a buck is bullshit. who in their right mind would make scooter parts to make a FAST buck. i dont see anybody making the big money.


you all need to just try some wheels out and shuuuuttt upppp

 

[Grahamk]

They're the same
Old eagles aren't that great, new ones kick ass
Old protos sucked shit, new ones will probably be great, I'm getting my replacement sometime so I'll be able to compare

 

[JDBen]

i expect the new protos (since without the mistake with glue) will be a lot lot better, better than eagles though? idk...

 

[Lil Steve]

Just one more month and Proto will be garbage.

LOL!!!!!!!

 

[JDBen]

i hope that's "friendly fire" there...

fuck lol there was alot of swearing. but i agreed with most of that. we need to stop arguing over this bullshit lmao seriously. and im still sticking with a good pair go for proto a good single wheel go for eagles. i mean wow you love eagles. thats cool idc. wow you love protos thats cool idc. just get what YOUUUU (yourself) want. not what others have or what others want.

Stop preaching.

I haven't had a good experience with eagle's cores. I love the urethane, it's fast, but not too grippy. I'd love to try a signature wheel with the thicker bearing slot to see how it works out, but I don't know if they'll grip as well as my protos. It doesn't help that all the signature wheels have ugly colors. Silver core, black urethane, get it done.
