haha this thread makes me feel old, i remember when he posted this. pete was a very opinionated and intelligent person, it wouldnt suprise me if he actually did something with this

Wow, sorry everyone, I completely missed this thread, I just don't really read the scooter section as Im not interested in Proto products, one piece bar dimensions or people's custom modified shiny Razor scooters.
I never start selling and making anything due to two reasons, no capital to invest, and that I was unable to fully test my gear because of my injury.
Id like to tell everyone that since october, Ive started studying on the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics at the tech university in my city. Ive already learned a lot about machine design, construction and materials, well, not that much since it's only a few months, but I'm surely learning more.
If anyone remembers Matt Dibble's thread about how riding influenced him to be an airline pilot, this is how scootering influenced mine. Many people in science classes in school do not exactly know what to study afterwards. Making scooter parts has shown me that I would rather educate myself in mechanical engineering than electronics, computer science etc.
Even though mechanics isn't my major Im sure I will get enough mechanical knowledge to make better parts in the future.
Another thing is that Im a perfectionist, and I would never release an undeveloped and overpriced scooter part. The fact that Im from Europe while the USA seem to be the main market for scooter parts have made the calculations more pessimistic, especially considering some macro-economic factors (that have recently changed for better though). No one would want to pay for an over priced untested part, shipped for as much as the part's cost.
Im still here though, I might be able to ride normally at the end of this year. Another thing is that now, when studying at the Faculty I might have a chance to access some really hot mechanical gear. Im not only talking about a workshop with welders, lathes etc. Im talking about professional design, construction, stress analysis and prototyping. If I only started a way to kick it off like a science project or something, it would be mad.
Apart from that, I would really like to experiment, but Im a pretty poor person so there's no extra money to throw on parts, I guess that if I wasn't injured and I didn't have a scooter that can lasts forever, I would simply be unable to afford riding.
