I believe Nitro Circus takes up a lot of Andrews time
Does he still ride for nitro? I haven't seen him partake in nitro circus since scooters first got into it, which was like 4 years ago I think haha

Either that or he's just in the american shows

I don't know exactly I just assumed he was still a part of it but I don't follow what Nitro Circus does tbh

Only ryan williams rides in nitro because he wants to ride there as the only scooter rider so no other scooter rider would take his fame away or some shit like that

Since ya'll are ranting about companies/brands...

Has anyone else lost respect for Proto? Like, I know Andrew owns this site so do whatever you will but DAMN they really have dropped the ball over the past few years.

Proto decks? What a joke! We've been waiting YEARS for them. And for fucks sake the wheels are complete shit now... They ALL dehub despite being 60 bucks a pop...

Sure they own River Wheels now but what about good ol' Proto? Honestly it pisses me off how the OG brand that got a lot of us interested in riding years ago is now a joke of a company. It's like they're not even trying to maintain their image. TGE distribution pioneered scooter riding... All I want to know is; What happened Proto?

pleaseeeee send me some of the shit your smoking dude im tryin to come up on that....

literally maybe 1 or two people on the team EVER break wheels. for the most part its just kids that get fresh wheels and go do the fattest flyout they possibly can to 90 so they land sideways and there wheels break. or just doing a flair 10 mins into it and they break. also for all you kids riding the slider tip they there is a reason why no sig wheels are sliders.... cuz there SLOW AS FUCK! the wheels have never been better. i personally handle every single TGE warranty and the wheels are doing great. but i will say we have had issues in the past. if you do have issues with the wheels please just send over a warranty claim and you will be taken care of (as long as it is under warranty)

proto decks will take forever though i will say. you have no idea the amount of machining it takes to make this kind of shit

since you think proto is a joke of a company how bout you just ride some freshie eagle wheelz or just a even freshier oil slick complete from the vault. that seems like the shit you need to be riding. not proto

can someone explain to me how the orion decks are stronger than say a thresh or sledge? Like wouldn't the headtube bolts snap way easier than the welds on a 1 piece deck?

How do you break them in exactly?
ride 1 wheel on the front for like 2-3 weeks or so until they wear in a bit, then move that wheel to the back and put the 2nd new wheel on the front

or just ride both wheels, dont do any hard shit that might fuck them up, and swap them front-back after each sesh

Hahaha wow Josh don't be a dick just because of my opinions on Proto. I'm not a child on a purple scooter either lol I just have personally seen the quality of parts from Proto really deminish over the years and I'm sure some other people agree with me too.

Proto is sick in my opinion I love andrews work I rather him take quality time in making these decks so when they come out they aren't shit you can't Rush perfection but back to the wheels I wear in wheels really good I mainly ride street and I purchased some protos and river glides and they both lasted me 6+ months until they got to the core

No need to get a 700d, get a 600d from ebay and you will save $$$. They have the exact same features for video. You will need to get a mic, the internal mic is horrible, get a Rode video mic pro.

I've had kasson sigs for 1 1/2+ years now. PERFECT wheels. feel like a dream, and still don't have a complaint.
honestly every proto part I've ever owned has been awesome. the guys behind the company seem like good people who are dedicated to the sport. I've seen multiple people talk bad about proto lately and i don't have a clue why.

proto is the fucking realest company out there. if you dehub their wheels that often, it's because you suck at riding scooters, not because of the wheels. i have never ever dehubbed a proto wheel in my life, and i've been riding protos only for the last 4 years. and my senior forks are holding up great still, i've been riding them for about 3 years with no problems
