Dont even put addict in the same category as phoenix or TSI.

1. they come together dialed with no adjustments needed, they actually test and make sure they got the right spacers and dont use cheap china grade metals for axles.

2. they dont lie about their machining process's to make the product look better then it actually is. (most kids on here are young and don't give a fuck about how its made they just care how they look and how light it is)

3. they aren't made in sweat shops in china. The people making TSI and Phoenix are actual metal workers (not a factory) who want to put out a quality products(Look at phoenix they hosted a biggest drop contest with their parts).

Im sure all the team riders had heat treated decks from the first batch made or w/e but whatever the consumers got(the people who pay the bills at the end of the day) got janky massproduced piles of aluminum. District is such a shady company, HEY LETS RELEASE SIG DECKS AND NOT EVEN PAY THE GUY WITH HIS NAME ON IT. You guys are fools these china based company's are aimed right at your parents wallets.

I work at a shop, they are made correctly with good materials and the minor errors are a 2 second fix. District and addict sell big here, over top of phoenix and even starting to overtake maddgear now(in high end, not mass retail). It's not A grade but with factories that produce more than just scooter parts and the locale wont help with the supply of top materials, they arent making the same thing all the time so it isnt easy to keep up. This has been seen in the bmx/mtb world and they have learnt to deal with it and embrace for when they do get it right. im sorry but im not happy with what tsi, phoenix and the likewise provide, sure its strong and well made but in the end it they all feel the same, stiff with excess materials and lifeless feel. after you ride for long enough you will notice that the stiff scooters actually fight back, they cause more bodily damage and not just when they hit you. might just be me but they cater to my needs more than anything else that has been produced so im going to support them, just hasnt caught on everywhere yet.

I'm still on my first brake as well. It depends how you ride.

Although, one dropout is cracked all the way through. My wheel starts to loosen up on its own now.

I'd much rather ride an addict or district than a Phoenix because district have a sort of flex to them but Phoenix are just really stiff and don't feel good at all. I think addict parts are fine, there not ment to be really strong, there ment for performance and to feel good to ride.

I rode a district for the first 6 months I've ever rode, and I've since switched to a MGP ninja deck, and I must say that is the best switch I've ever made. I feel 1000x better than I did on a district
