Switching From B model to Old A

[Behlau]

Is there a big difference between the two

 

[farmboy uk]

YES!!!!!!! do not try a fakie on an old a after riding a b for ages. TRUST!!!!

also it feels a lot different in general

 

[Brian Boston]

I wouldn't even bother... old As are too low to the ground and their going to be extinct eventually. You get used to the change after a day but some stuff is gonna feel real weird, i did that before and lost a bunch of trick.

 

[Levon]

other way around buddy

 

[danielwarwick]

Fuck pros, but i'm also tiny as hell.

 

[Kenny O.]

i ride old a's
but if your already riding pros then stick with them cause old as arent gonna be around for that much longer

 

[brandon kilbury]

i hate old a's, wayyy to low, tailwhips feel really goofy for me, and idk if its just me, but the bars are always leaning back really far and i cant get them to go forward at all..the brake is way too high, and the folding mechansim breaks easy for me

 

[Levon]

well maybe if you werent such a bahemeth

 

[Steezeman]

I used to ride old A's and now I ride new A's with B foldies, and they feel a lot better higher off the ground and the brake is more out of the way. And with pro/b/new A decks you can reinforce them a lot better/easier than old A's.

 

[David N.]

once old a's die out from only lasting 1-2 months for some riders i will Laugh Out Loud when you ride pro's.

a pretty good solid old a last cary around 3-4 weeks maybe 5-6 if hes smooth. thehehehe


Differences between A and B / Pro Models :

A: Small, Compact, Light, Tend To Bend Easier And Bow Causing Scraping on banks, roads ect. If you have size 13 + Shoes your foot takes up the whole deck. Decks seem to be strong but once they get a the slightest crack they can quickly downfal into death of the scooter.

B / Pro's: Higher Off Ground, Dropouts tend to bend makeing it difficult to put in the back wheel. In my opinion pros are alot stronger becuase of the folding mech not only being welded but is also bolted. the pro model brake tends to either bend or brake or wear through depends what your doing.

My Opinion

Pro / B model it will last you longer, more for your money. (unless you somehow FIND a old a just dont steal from a 4 year old.) 50+ Dollars for a pro is worth those minor problems.

All I used to ride were old a's.. lasted me 4 months each time but the foldy starting snapping on all mine... They are so low its gross.

I wouldn't even go for the old a, go with another pro.

 

[farmboy uk]

its not worth it like people said, i couldnt cope with the ground clearance and its just too small!!!

 

[Kevintuccori]

i like old a's but im gonna get a pro but yeah i think old a's are sometimes too low

 

[jakob-b]

i ride old as i love them i wish they still made them ..

 

[Behlau]

i have a spare deck for when i break the one iam riding now

 

[kraM]

ive switched alot...i dont care. but i ride an old a now.

 

[Kenny O.]

ah, im probably gonna switch to pros soon cause i dunno where im gonna get my a's

 

[William Biedrzycki]

Dont the old A models have really short decks? I couldn't stand those short decks. I was so crushed when i called Razor and they said the B model was discontinued. (

 

[Kenny O.]

a pro model is the same as a b model dude

 

[kyle christensen]

i swithc on and off. like i was riding old a's for a while then i went to pro, then a then old light b. and i love the b so im sticking with the b. but yeah its weird to get used to
