All headtubes are hollow. And let the reviews talk. Loads of TSI decks have been broken so yeah.

So because theres not a piece of metal on the top of the head tube your saying its "week"... all that would do would add weight.

why are u sonsabitches being so secretive and shit? it's fucking stupid and immature. It's not going to hurt a company to say that they are oming out with a new project, it will just promote them andd cause anticipationa dn buzz about their product. why doesn't someone who knows what it is just tell us. none of this "ooh i now what it is but i'm not gonna tel you because i'm fucking superior on the sooter scene".

Because maybe it's none of your damned business. And maybe the team was told not to say anything until it is announced by the proper people.

So much you kids don't know...

So far from what I've seen/heard, this prototype is holding up perfectly fine. This photo below was posted on IS on Oct. 4th. And as far as I know, Balthazar had that scooter for at least a couple weeks prior to the photo. And to my knowledge he is still riding it with no issues. Balthazar is a pretty good street rider also.

Since you're an OG in frame building. Perhaps you're familiar with a company that was pretty popular in the mid-late 90's. UFO racing frames?! UFO's were a pretty strong. Same frame design, dual squared downtubes the race frames also had the same rear top and downtube design to the drop outs. If it works for BMX, it could definitely work for scooters, I'd say. Even if it is a race frame design.

^ pretty much true, but alot of people see comments that say "i know what it is but im not telling you" almost as a "tease"

also yh, usually the "word" of it comes way before the "picture"

No. The foams are great. I like the low profile foam like that. Same feel as rubber BMX grips, and these don't tear as easily. Addison rides the exact same style grips, they make them for beach cruisers.

Absolutely. Eagle only makes wheels, bearings and bearing spacers. District is not owned or operated by Eagle.

Augh. It seemed good until I saw the parts.
Threaded headset? Foamies... Threaded fork (I hope the tubing is thick at least)
Eagle wheels? (semi joke)

Room for improvement.
