Is this USD? Because holy hell if it is. No. I'm gonna wait for an answer to the unit of currency before I suggest something.

It clearly says NZ as in New Zealand. I am not sure about prices, but that setup would be great. I recommend a different clamp because District clamps are easy to strip and do not clamp well.

What sort of clamp

This is also all my scooter notes I have saved in a word pad.
Handle Bars - Flavor Illmatic Black, Get District ST1's
Deck - District DK1 Scooter Deck Red, Good
Forks - Flavor F Fork Zero Offset Ravenblack, Get Any Vertx fork
Front Wheel - Grit Ultra Light Purple/White, not good, Get eagles
Back Wheel - Grit Ultra Light Blue/White, not good, Get eagles
Clamp - Flavor Splatter Sixbolt Red, Get a District Clamp, Make sure to tighten bolts evenly on whichever clamp you do get or it will strip.
Headset - Flavor Threadless headset black, Get a Neco, better and the same price
Handle Grips - Grit Black/Red lockon, I would get ODI Longnecks
Griptape - Flavor Precut F Red, doens't really matter


PHOENIX:
Decks: Good, Strong
Forks: Snap easier than most others
Wheels: Feel like a flat tire, Don't brake usually
Bars: T-Bars are nice, Suicides are gay
Compression sets:
-TLC, Bullshit stick to regular HIC
Grenade: Gay, ugly, heavy
Slim: Okay, I guess
VERTX:
Bars: Strong, Good looking
Forks: I consider it the strongest alu. fork on the market, Many colors, 3 unique designs
Decks Good looking, Never been broken
wheels, Fast, smooth and I have only heard of one breaking
Compression:
Standard HIC
Standard ICS
SCS soon to come out, Pictures look amazing

I didn't click any of the links, my bad. I'm not any help in the prices, but sounds decent but +1 ^^ district clamps aren't great. I also may not be looking hard enough, but what sort of compression do plan on using?

I don't really know what a compression is, I'm kind of a newbie. Isn't a compression just a clamp? Also do I need bearings?

Compression is essential. Definitely read up on it. Also, if you're new to scooters, this setup might not be necessary. Perhaps a razor ultra pro, some metalcore wheels, and some t bars might be enough to get you riding.

I know how to ride and do a few drinks, but I don't know the studys about them.
So I need a Compression, I'm not sure what sort to get.

You will need bearings AND a spacer for your wheels.

You will need a compression system: Threaded (different headset), ICS, SCS, or HIC. There is a thread on this site to look these up. It is sticked in the Scooters section.

As for a clamp and still sticking to that site, I would try anything but District. Maybe the Flavor or Scorpo.

This might be a bit overkill if you're just starting out. But it's your money. As far as compression goes, look at the compression thread on here, it explains things nicely.

Ok, ill look at the thread. I have had a scooter before(MGP) and I could do tricks. But I never actualy studied the parts on the internet, so Ill be fine with this

Tricks I can do - 360, barspin, tail whip.
