He did everything else across the whole rail, but pussy tapped the backlips lol, I don't doubt he could do a longer one, I just don't see why he did them like that.

This video is very interesting when you think that about 15 years ago razor probably made a quick and easy decision that our wheels should be 24mm wide just like rollerblade wheels so it would easy to make. And we have stuck with that width until now that eagle is testing 28-30mm wide ones. I really think it has some potential.

actually the jd corporation :)
it is interesting when compaines test this sort of thing though.

honestly about that kota vid, he gets too much hate but as for the back lip tricks, well they are harder to balance than bs boards and on the bs boards it looked like he heel dragged soooooooooooooooooo much (especially for the bri and kickless out), almost just standing on his heels. i know he did an fs board but a whip bs lip is harder to sustain. he could not heel drag on the fs board/back lip

that ultra pro looks sick, probably the best begginer scooter. id like to test some of the parts to see what they are like.
i hope the compression is something like scs and makes the bars higher though as 21.7 is a bit short. the deck looks soo good for blunts. I'm on a rup v2 (old headtube+extrusion) and the headtube is cracking at the bottom, had it for about 2 months

Nah nothing happened he just hit the lens but it was fine. I did that effect in post. My lens broke because I was filming a line and my front wheel got caught in a crack in the ground and I fell and dropped the camera. Luckly the eazy handle prevented the camera from breaking but lens got a little fucked.

I can see that these wheels would have some advantages over regular wheels but I just don't think they'll ever take off unless a company like Proto decides to do it. The fact that a lot of companies would have to redesign their forks to fit these wheels will be a major factor as to why these won't be popular. I also feel like they would be slower than regular wheels, being more square and flatter than regular wheels.
