so for christmas im getting a new scooter, as i broke my Pro model. I will be selling my bike so I can get (dont ride much anyway) and would like opinions on parts, so I get it right the first time. I live in Australia so Im a little bit limited on parts.

Deck: Pheonix Integrated or TSI Freeflow (probably Pheonix)
Fork: PROTO Striker or Lucky LSv3 (probably Strikers)
Bars: Mutts Snarl Cromo or Seasoned MAybe Hardlines (maybe Mutts but thats typical Aussie, but theyre the only "Y" bars I like)
Grips: ODI Longnecks
Headset: FSA Orbix (comes with Pheonix deck) or a Diatech
Proto SCS
Bearings: Districts or Blunt ABEC9 (all i can get)
Wheels: Eagles or Sliders (If eagles they will be Black on Red or Fernando Youngs)

Go with the tsi ff2 and keep the money you'll save
either fork imo but depends if you break forks a lot
don't get the mutts imo because they're overused in aus but your in US so..
grips- who cares
headset- IDK bout intergrated headsets
go for a baby scs and cut the top of the fork off if you don't mind the hassle or go for Hic
bearings- whatever
wheels whatever is your preferance
but thats just my opinion other people will think differently

Pheonix is actually cheaper here i am in aus

are pegs worth it or is that another opinion thing

oh k baby scs or apex from moon walk and
tsi ff2 from tsi cus the xchange rate is good and they ship to aus
and tilt pegs if any pegs
its $216 for 210 USD
and the intergrated tsi is 190 USD so it would roughly be about that

yep so a tsi, but id prefer not to have to ship international, but the free flow is stronger right, if theres a great deal of diference ill suck it up and get a tsi, but if there about the same ill just get a pheonix

Beastie dosent have any Baby SCS, does inward ship international, because it works out bascically the same price ($1 more actually). Because if they do i might just get Inward forks, and a Baby SCS

Do not get a lucky fork. Didn't Blunt or Apex release forks recently? If you can, grab yourself a Senior fork, or Phoenix Phorx.. Or even TSI Thom cat forks are good

Everything else seems fine, but instead of buying scooter bearings (and i know it's "supporting the sport but whatever") try to get bones super swiss 6 ball bearings. Best ever

Im pretty sure still noone has broken a thom cat, and you may aswell get it when you buy the TSI.

Only one of those forks I can find is the Pheonix Phorx, they come with a Starnut in them dont they? I did want a Senior and Proto bars but I couldnt find any in Aus (does anyone know of a store that ships internatinal with Seniors and Proto Wings.) I can get Super Swisses, but id prefer not to pay $99 for bearings. So can I get Thom Cats from TSI? Are they Australian
I'd still prefer a Proto though

Yes TSI ship to aus but they're an american based company and i think gen y are releasing some HIC bars i would be interested in getting because then you don't need an scs all you need is a halk knuckle and ive heard better things about hic than scs...

OK, im not real keen on those TSI bars, but I cant find any Protos which I would really like, The Thom Cat forks are nice and I would get them, but Id still like Seniors more. Which deck Free Flow or Freestyler.
