they would sell to the suppliers right???
Of course, just as they did before.
Little update for you guys. All these pictures you've seen going around, like the ones on Inside Scooters Blog. Those ARE NOT THE FINAL ULTRA PRO SAMPLE! That was one of the first samples Razor made. I saw the final sample for the Ultra Pro being produced right now. Now how is it different and/or better, you ask?!
There is no longer a need for the strip on the bottom, BUT, the entire deck is as thick as the strip would have been, had Razor left it. This includes the drop outs. Razor also added more metal to surround the wheel, which helps support where the Pro Models usually snap. The forks are now gussetted (i.e. for the naive: Striker forks have metal surrounding the wheel in front and back of the fork, that is a gussett). Now aside from the gussetts, the forks threads are also twice as thick as the previous Pro Models. The only cons I saw on it, aside from the typical crap griptape obviously, was the foam grips, they were going to do rubber, I guess they changed their mind. Although even the riders that showed to Scoot Ohio this past week, all run BMX grips, prefer BMX grips, they liked the feel of the new foam grips Razor has produced. They are just a tad small though.
So there's something to look forward to. Before, I had announced this, but I am confirming it since I actually got to see it.
