yeah get and ultra pro and change the one piece and wheels and ur set. They will be pretty cheap. and as u get better u can slowly customize even more like new headset, clamps, forks ect and then eventually a new deck. Thats how I would do and did but I rode a pro as ultra pros weren't out.

Good luck on getting a new scooter :)

skatehut.co.uk has ultra pro los and doggscooters.com will be getting some standard ultras in soon. why dont you like the bars on the ultra pro theres nothing wrong with them. and its not about liking them its about performance. picky for a beginner.

just read this thread on starting out on the dogg forums http://doggscooters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=305 basically says everthing you need to know.

you dont want to buy a really expensive scooter when youre just starting out because your wont be sure wether youll like it and want to carry on.

i would get an ultra pro high, cut down the bars, then get some metal core wheels( or even just hot glue the plastic ones) get some grips, griptape, and maybe a headset.

he wouldent even need to metalcores or to hotglue the wheels. This kid is saying that he hasnt even started scootering yet, it would just make it harder for him to learn tricks.

Right, There is a Scooter Shop In Fleet, Which is southeast england:

It is best to call them, Because when I went in he had lots of stuff he didn't put on the website.
His Site is: http://www.theskateboardshop.co.uk/

There Is also: www.Skatehut.co.uk

There is also Skate Asylum, They are alright but they dont do all the good aftermarket parts.
http://www.skateasylum.co.uk/

There is also S5 Shop, Based in Austria, About £6 shipping, they stock alot of the good parts and makes.
http://shop-s5.com/

There is also DoggScooters, They have a forum and a webstore, They sell lots of parts on their site, And also have a for-sale Section on their forums.
http://www.doggscooters.com/store/

Hope this helps.
Chris.

You cant buy stuff from invert if you live in the UK.

Don't buy two Yak 78a's, that's what I first did, you will shred the back wheel, Buy a single 78a and put it on the front and on the back put a proper metal core or any 85a+ if you intend to ride it without having to replace your back wheel every 2 days (That's how long mine lasted)
If I was you, Buy a Razor Ultra Pro Deck, Razor ultra pro Forks and some swish bars too.
You should also replace the headset as the razor stock ones are crappy, I would suggest a FSA, you can get them off Ebay for under £15, And as for grips, Just go to your local bike shop and pick up some nice DMR ones or something, If you need any help putting it together or just for any more advice, Add my Msn: Chris__Evans@live.co.uk
