RAD Bars Reveiw

[Travis House]

I opened the box and dug though the nicly protected bars. They were black like I ordored and really nice. I was dissapointed to find there was no letter from Big D stating that there was a white substance in the bars that came from his nipples. Other then that I was stoked. I put the bar clamps on the awesome little thing on the bottem. Slide on perfect. I had a stock fork that I got with my Old A and I used two clamps. They arnt short or long, in the middle. No problems at all! Solid. I thought to my self it woulld be cool to have a RAD sticker to put on the front. Ill make my own. Paint is flawless. AMAZING color and it takes a beating. It has only minor damage (paint) after about 5 hours of riding. Its not even that. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THESE BARS. Welds look sooo nice. Props to Cory and everyone that had a hand in making them. Buy them. Now.

Yeah, I made this to clear up any uncirtinties about these bars.

yeah mine have been good, the paint has chipped a little bit, but thats mostly from me setting it leaning against a big concrete step.. and then my scooter fell and scraped it.. but there sick bars, there also
15" wide part, which is nice once you get use to it

 

[Stan Smirnoff]

ya the bars will stick on your fork as liong as you have about 2 clamps worth of fork left to clamp on lool mine works fine and thnx to the rad bars i learned lookbacks sooo good.. yeh RAD bars

 

[Travis House]

I love the 15". I had made my own bars (not the whole T just the handle bars to put in the razor T) and they were 14 but I found them still too short for my grips.

Thats actually the only thing im worried about with the bars...is the wideness...because barspins are one of my fav tricks to do...so i jes wanna see how much im affected by the new width....guess ill wait and see, and ill post here when i get them.

 

[scooterphil]

just act like bmx and cut them down, its like getting a new pair of slam bars..they can/gotta be cut

 

[Steezeman]

Or just learn to barspin with them, they're not really THAT much bigger, it took me a few tries to get used to tailwhips and x-up's and x-up rides aren't that much harder. I'm not to good at barspins but I'm as good as I was with normal bars.

 

[whoopa]

i just paid for mine so i hope it comes like next week cant wait cory is dank

 

[JackS]

yeah i just got mine there r the best thing i have purchased for a scooter so far..... yeah prolps to cory... super nice and solid... and thanks David for ur long shim thing that u gave me at woody...

that was sooo fuckin funny when that kid that had bleeached hair, and scootered, he said oh nice hair... funniest thing ive heard in a while

dude. you NEVER EVER EVER CUT SLAMS! ever. you just dont.

 

[Madis]

neh, i have bigger problems getting those rad bars...
30$ for bars, 37$ for Fed-Ex international services (USA->Estonia, 5-9 days), 30$ for bank-transfer (to let my money transfer from Estonia to USA). Sucks, doesn't it? Well, if i'm ordering my rad bars, i'll order some other stuff with it and it all comes in one package Although it takes time and patience to do it for real...
Besides, talking through e-mails takes alot of time, because the timezones are so diffirent...

 

[brandon kilbury]

well i know that my bars right now are 13 inches wide, so 15 inches is only an inch on either side..which isnt bad at all. But if they are that much of a nuisance ill just cut them

 

[Stan Smirnoff]

they feel so sexy when they are wider man like you dont feel gay like your on a lil skoot anymore.. like did i say like too much ?

Well Im sure you can tell cory to make the bars as wide as you want (or you could if you already ordered).

Why cant you get those shipped like the cheapest way (so they would be literally shipped or something)? and what about that paypal thing that everyone uses for internet payment?

And no offence travis, but after seeing all your posts you seem to be too fucking excited about those bars. Geez, those are just some bars, two pieces of steel welded together.

 

[Madis]

I smell jealousy from Pete I understand if you won't like them to have, but the glamor of these bars is that it has a stronger material (finally my tech-friend found out, how to translate that 4130 chromium or smth to normal Estonian language (laughs) and managed to tell me what it really is... IT'S GOOOOD!... that material is harder to find it in Estonia, although we have lots of companies selling/doing metal + my friend works at a metal workshop), and those bars perfectly built up. Besided, those, who usually love having bolts on stock bars, dont have to worry about bolting and changing those bolts after some months... And another minus from razor stock bars - they bend easier. (its circled aluminium-welding and generally aluminium bends/cracks easier.)

Why i can't get those shipped by the cheapest way? Because shipping those the cheapest way is the worst! Its like 20-30$ and takes 2-3 months!! I could brake one-two decks by that time. So I pay 37$ dollars for Fed-Ex and get my stuff within 5-9 days.

EDIT: paypal? Nah, i'm afraid that transfering money from Estonian bank to internet costs too.

I smell jealousy from Pete

Wtf jealousy? I just saw that youre going to spend riddiculously much no those bars and I thought of a way to make it cheaper. I think that those bars are good, but not enough to compensate the total amount of money to spend and pain in the ass when buying them. Bars aren't really a key part on a scooter, if it was a full scooter or maybe just a deck then it might be worth it. Glamour of having the bars? I dont care.

 

[Travis House]

Steven, there not that wide, inch on both sides. My tricks didnt suffer a bit (including bars)

Pete....... You have no idea. Its also sport pogresstion and Im stoked to be a part of it. They are amazing and unlike any other bars that anyone else can make. Yeah

 

[Miles Quirk]

steven you wont even notice it... theyll help you. your bars will be even easier to catch and probably spin faster
but it might take a day or 2 to get use too

 

[Steven_T]

Aww thanks buds, now im all excited to jes get em, and fucking throw down...and i guess the fact that i jes came in from riding some flat, and was like throwing some speed dubs...and my handlebars jes saw it fit, to snap off fromt my t bar, and send me to the ground....yea that sucked, but was kinda fun...so now i want my bars even more..wahooo!
