939.64381 grams. Give or take a few nugs.
If a 20x15 weighs 939 grams, then there's no way a steertube could be .125 thick.
End of discussion.
i didnt see his post above mine
really lets get back on topic, this isnt the kolby Vs andrew weightwatchers thread

It just takes more time, effort, and practice to get a big trick on a heavier scooter. making it all the more sweeter in the end.
Kinda like landing a hard trick on an old A then switching to a reinforced pro, you lose some tricks but gain a stronger scooter that won't bend/break as fast. Light scooters are like cheat codes

Sure is :)

Andrew, are you selling stuff to Skaterhq?

If so what?
Yea but right now I am holding off on selling to shops here in the states and abroad until I get the rest of my product line released and dialed in so it might be a few more months.
 
Really, why would you ride a heavy scooter when you could have a lighter and stronger one?

its your choice.. and cheating!? its only cheating because you can do alot more tricks alot easier.. whats wrong with that?
Unless you take others having more tricks than you as some sort of threat, which you shouldnt becuase thats not what riding is even about.

Its just funny how no-one looks into this stuff, i know everyones desperate for a part that wont break and doesnt care how heavy it is, but we shouldnt have to adapt to heavy products.
(again.. my opinion)

Its only making your riding experience that much better and even more effortless.

Yes, you made your point already at the top of this page.
You have your own opinion and i respect that.
Are you looking for drama, that you just had to repost your opinions again?
 
to madis. how is that looking for drama?
he expressed his opinion more clearly, and i absolutley agree, why settle with strong heavy parts when we should try to make them as light as possible without taking away strength

I own SR.
New prototypes are almost done so testing should start this month and if all goes well (which I'm pretty positive it will) I could be selling them by the end of March or April. So a couple months or so. I have already tested similar designs with some of my riders for years now and they were great but I modified a few things so I just need to make sure they are good to go before I manufacture a bunch.

And they will be PROTO. No more SR Parts.

There are a lot of chickens in the farm that cackle and make noise,
but there are very few that actually can lay eggs.
