only high hops

fuck no, holding balance was so much easier like 2 years ago when I wasn't over 6 feet tall, fingerwhips, bars were also so much easier, only the hops get easier and higher

bars? idk why you think that, over the years i have gotten better at bars but that is due to practise, i dont see why height makes it harder though. im like 6ft btw
You want the 21.25.

If you account for the blunt space difference between the 2 decks, you will find they are approx 6mm difference in wheel base and it's far more likely that weight distribution is your issue. You could find the difference it by measuring one, axle to axle. Nothing really whips better than a lolworm and that's not my opinion, that's what others tell me.

Tilt scout t bars
Tilt scs rawed and polished
Ethic lindworm
tilt legacy forks
River rapids
thats my setup, do you think theirs any weight problems?

Will confidently say no. The size of your bars might be affecting it, depends if they are suited to your body height. I know a lot of people ride this same setup, maybe a different deck but few of them are park heavy. Everything except for the deck and obviously wheels will last a life time. I personally think tilt legos are a tiny bit hefty but they dont break for 99.99% who have them if thats what you want. A flavor will do very little except it will be nicer for 1 grind trick, 50's.

My setup feels a bit heavy for me and the bars are 22x22 im 5,4 and half feet tall i feel like there a good size for me are the scout bars regarded as a heavy bar, and thanks for your replies
i lost fingerwhips when i got these bars cause i used to ride really small alu barsThis is probably just placebo but i feel like i got a wider lindworm than most. to me my polished one feels wider than my friends probaly just placebo though

these are the issue, you were used to the weight/feel with alloy bars and probably a short deck. I am 140 pound and probably 5'10-11" for comparison. I rode alloy bars for some time and even at a low height for me, 24h 21w. Ive recently got back to cr-mo 26h 22w which changed things a lot for my expectations, my hop height and balance point for everything changed.
I can estimate you are around 100 pounds and close to 2 years riding, i wouldn't say its a problem to go that way for the lifetime of parts factor and helping save your body from posture issues if you continue riding for years to come and hell, you might have some growth in you soon so it might be a good thing this is happening now. Also no, tilt t's are light for cr-mo but they don't feel like most the t bars out there, they feel pretty stiff, hey must use their bmx-industry connections to get the really good stuff or atleast stress-treated better than practically any scooter bars out there.

I have been riding for 3 years and yeah about 100 pounds, in the middle of a growth spurt however

I'm 6'1 and 185 pounds and the hardest part about it finding a long deck that fit my size 13 feet and tall enough bars

nice video, i always remember wondering how you rode as you had sig blunt pegs back in the day. one thing though, i think some parts were rendered slightly incorrectly and it seemed to lag a little (or look a tiny bit jumpy), idk if that is just me or not.
width is sooooooooo preference, it depends what you want

If your bars are around the same height as your belt when you are on your scooter, then you have the right sized bars. Also 22 wide is a good width. I think that no one should ever have bars that are smaller than 22 wide.
