Some people spend excessive amounts on upgrading cars they never drive, it's their hobby.

Others do the same for scooters.

theres a stupidly rich kid down my road who rides:
ODI's (like everyone)
Crowbars (if you want them in the UK, you need to pay like, 125 pounds)
Apex SCS
reventon
Apex forks
Blunt headset
Proto grippers (like , $60 a wheel , so $120 , 100 pounds, plus, 10 pounds shipping = 110 pounds divided by 4 is like27.50, nearly so around 140 pounds)
phoenix brake
bones swiss ceramic bearings (110 pounds....)
apex pegs.






and he cant even manual

You should be pretty embarrassed that you know all that in detail... This is exactly what i'm talking about

i havent bought any new parts in over 6 months and that was an mgp deck i got at walmart and the bottom of the deck is almost worn all the way through in the back and my headsets fall out when ever i take my fork off. My fork i bought used and its been bent for 4 months. My bars are almost a year old. my pegs are also almost a year old and both are bent and i cant even fit a socket in them anymore to tighten my axel, and my scs is about 3 years old and i also bought that used. and my headset is always lose and never tight!!

Im making a horrible thing, one week bumb. I know, world is going to end.
But yeah. I complitely agree with the thread. Its annoying when my friend thinks all the time how his scooter would look good. He just bought sliders and he had three MGP 100mm aeros and one blunt metalcore. He doesn't even ride much.

I have bought once unimportant part to my scooter and it was district bar. My razor bar had bent like 1mm and i sold it to my friend.

This is the truest thing I've ever read. I work @ a local indoor park teaching lessons and you wouldn't believe the setups some of the kids have that come in man. They're scared to ride down a bank and they've got an Envy complete or something of the sort. Don't get me wrong, its great that they're supporting the local shops and companies, but its a little ridiculous
