KC Corning Signature Pro Model

[Matt Dibble]

Mine came in the mail today, and i must say, im really impressed. Besides all the custom KC work he sent me 4 Trick Kick Scooters stickers, 2 razor ones, a bunch of TKS business cards, and im happy yay!

so far,

Pros -barends, they help alot with the barspins.
-griptape job is super nice, and also there was an extra sheet of the stock grip in there
-bolts and stuff were all right there and he sent tools which made it really easy to assemble
-Anything at all he took off the scooter, he still gave to me, such as folding mech parts... and junk.
-Just an all around clean looking/feeling scoot at this point.
-Came with RVM2
-Signed the outside of the box like 100000 times haha, but didnt sign the scooter itself, could it be something i said? lol

Cons -"professianally tuned headset" I know its stock but it doesnt seem he found the balance between fast and shaky.. its not shaky and slow.. can be fixed very easily with minor tinkering.



Things i question - what does the front piece do? on the front of the folding mech, KC seemed to think it wasn't important so he took it off
- He filed out the back of the headset... like where the extra bolt goes, mine have always fit fine why did this one not fit well?

The things i changed or am going to change:
1) mess with headset to make it spin a little better if possible
2) one grip was moved over and it annoyed me so i moved it back lol
3) Stock wheels to yaks
4) Had to install bolts
5) Stock bearings to mine
6) Take off warning stickers haha
7) T-Tube clamp gets changed out for bolt.
8) Reinforcement plates should be coming in the mail tomorrow so im going to practice on old pro and then if i get it right do it to the KC signature
9) Thats it. Keep in mind that looks like a big list but all (except deck reinforcement) are all really minor things.



Overall, it is a great scooter and i definately recommend you all buying one. Really solid and worth the buy.

stop blabing ur mouth and post some pics boiIiiiiiiii!

 

[Dustin Nooner]

sounds great! if I dont get TKS stickers im gunna return it for my money. or if i see him and he wont return my money I will pick pocket him for his wallet lol

 

[Miles Quirk]

sounds neet, i replaced the headset on my reg pro because it was so horribly slow, and whenever it got cold the oil in it would freeze up and spin amazingly slow... so i dont think its exactly kc's fault on that one.

get some pics.

 

[Matt Dibble]

it looks exactly the same as the pictures he already has...

 

[Kc Corning]

Sorry I didint sign you scooter. wow, how stupid am I? I was so fustrated with moding your scooter that is sliped by me. Atleast I signed everytyhing else. The signature would have came off anyways. Its just a sharpy. I only have 15 KC pro's left. So if anyone wants one. you better get it because Im not going to make the KC Pro any more since Im moving to oregon now. Ive got to figure out my life. Alot of shit has been going on latly

Pros -barends, they help alot with the barspins.

Hahahahahahahaha, you have seriously got to be kidding me....

As for the whole "signature model" junk. I find that really funny considering what little is done to it in the first place.

 

[Matt Dibble]

No, im not. I can do barspins without barends easily, and with them easily The only difference is that they spin faster and more smoothly with barends.

 

[JoshToy]

Hahahahahahahahaha. Barends do not add performance. I don't care what anyone says. They do not add any sort of precision weight making the bars spin better. It's all in your head. All barends do is keep dirt out of your bars and helps prevent your grips from tearing.

i have semi-heavy ones (animals) and they do weigh down my bars. they may not help my barspins, but they make the bars seem to spin smoother. plus, i have an addiction where i love to throw money into my scooter

 

[coryM]

nahhh if you have a slow headset barend WILL make it spin longer because of the added momentum of the weight. thing about it. bicycle handle bars spin fast even with a sealed extra tuight headset. put that exact same headset on a scooter and the same tighteneness and it will spin less. this is why unsealed pigs are faster. on a bike you will not notice the difference in how fast they spin because bik bars are wide3r and have more momentum. my scoot bars are 17" wide so they have more momentum and spin more than other peoples who are like 14 or somthin inches... its not a big difference but is definetly noticable.

 

[David N.]

i just got barends becuase they had a rooster on them and whenever i scratched it i was like aw i scratch macock

 

[Tyler Boner]

i have bar ends cause they look cool

 

[Cary Mosbrucker]

matt u think your so cool with your sig kc corning pro mod. nobuddy nos but i was the 1st to ever have one yep kc gave it to me himself. but mine hade a fsa pig on it so mine was evan better. im soooo coool. but i hate the barend Kc uses. to big and stik out to much i think but some ppl might think diff.

 

[coryM]

all bar ends are for is looks and protect you bars and yourself from your bars. but they do make it different with barspins and shit.

I'm pretty sure the laws of physics disagree.

 

[scooterphil132]

i agree exactly with wat coryM said bcoz of the extra wight there is more momentum

 

[AX3D]

Yeah I do agree with the extra momentum . But for the money and postage I dont think they are worth it for that little bit much more speed or smoothness on your spins.

 

[cLeMo321]

ther are defenatly worth it. wen i was learning barspins my finger got caught in the hole so many times my finger used to swell up heaps

 

[coryM]

well its not like barends were made just for barspins haha but they do make a difference on skoots since the bars are so light and could use the extra weight to keep momentum.
