Sean that was the lamest excuse to get a higher post count ever haha.
You will get to where I am and be like "daaamn 3000 is gay... I'm gonna slow down" haha.

Anyway Jake that is fucking class! I was kinda skeptical if it could even be done and work good but damn Jake, hella nice.

How about we stop talking about how much Sean posts and talk about the sick scooter alright?

Sick scooter lol. Those bolts holding on the reinforcement in the front look kinda weak though, I think Madis said something about that? I dunno, but I would try to drill the holes out and put some bigger bolts in. But that's really awesome, one of the most custom scooters on here for sure.

Wow, you finally did it, Jake. Props. It's looking really good. Post a review after you've tested it a couple of evenings.

Alex those small-diameter bolts hold the reinforcements together pretty well, does the job. I'm also using the same bolts with the welded foldy. Smaller diameter bolts are only shit for the foldy.
 
Ok, as the deck is reinforced, it might hold up decently but, as Ive said, not better than an old a, unless the welds are a lot better or something...

yes, but if the welds break, which might happen before the deck breaks, then he can always just re-weld it back on as long as it isn't too fucked..

And jake, I really like the idea for sure, it looks really sick too, plus from what I've heard, razor headtubes are a bit more solid..

Madis, any idea on how to keep the back wheel steady, i seemed to have lost those washer things that come with the bullet when you get it. I guess a few little spacers or something might work? I guess ill try something out and see if it fits.
And how do you change the bullet break to a razor break? Im guessing you have to drill the hole yourself?
I also got some new bolts for the reinforcements, the back axle is anodized black and the front ones are gold, there coo.

I dont know when ill get to ride it. Hopefully soon. Just need to fix the back wheel wobbling around :(

EDIT 1# Sorta solved the the wheel problem with 3 small spacers, pretty ghetto, but itll do for a temp fix. New problem, back axle keeps coming loose, but thats easily fixed, just need to go back to the bolt fitters and get a locking nut for it so it doesn't come undone easy.

But i just rode out the front, Whips aren't easy, but its probably me just getting used to the weight of the deck. BARSPINS are sooooo good on it tho. they feel so easy/smooth i dont know why. I cant double whip it flat. but that doesnt bother me much since im not into the whole "look how many whips i can do" thing.
did get a 180 downside whip to fakie 180 bar into a bank second shot. that was cool.

Pretty happy with it, so ill think i might just keep on riding it.. theres still i few "bugs" to fix but its no drama.

well im out, noodle canteen with mom, then scooting park with new scoot <3 ill update later on how it went at park.

Double Post, but bring to attention.

Rode so well for 3 hours. I was riding hard, on my last run, last trick, big table air, it snapped. Snapped at the folding mech. So thats one way not to make a good scooter. haha, ohwell, it was always an experiment. my brother currently looing at it talking to me about how to make it strong.. lol. maybe next time?
