Just broke one of my grippers after 3 - 4 months of riding (only rode it on the back for like a month) now I'm not sure if I should get a pair of full core sliders, a pair of phoenix wheels or a spoked slider ? Spoked slider would be my preferred option as I only have to buy one wheel but are they that much stronger than grippers ? And are full cores holding up better than spoked or?

There is no difference in full-core or spoked they are just for looks or nostalgia because Proto started out with full cores. Get a spoked slider. Sliders last a hell of a long time more than grippers.

I don't know wether i should buy a proto orian (not the lite)
or the TSI threshold V2 hepgreg. Which deck has better performance and is more worth the money. thanks

Nick: get the threshold! They are just amazing in every way and incredibly strong.

Jack: get the Dylan kasson sigs, the full core has no advantage over the spoked cores besides nostalgia for the more OG riders.

Anyone tried the yak mechanic wheels or yak FA wheels? I'm really interested in trying a pair once I run through my near bald VertX wheels

If you ride an assload of street get the proto.

I would get the Threshold though, just because.

Hello everyone. I'm new here, but I've got a question I think you could answer.
Right now I have a Razor Pro Model scooter which I've had for a few years. The plastic spacers broke so I used parts from a Razor A2 to repair it (and I even had to put the wheelie bar on it so the spacing was tight enough!). Now I'm thinking about getting a new scooter to continue learning tricks on and ride at skateparks since it's getting old and I'm ready to upgrade. I was initially drawn to the MGP Ninja and Blunt Envy Complete scooters (any feedback on those?), but now I'm wondering if it would just be better to get another newer Razor like the Black Label 4.0 or Pro XXX. Thoughts or opinions on a complete that would suit me?
Thanks for your time. :)
