So your expecting a full blown custom scooter for the first ever Signiture model? If so then you have your hopes up way to high. And yes when you go around saying your dissapointed in what someones doing for the sport when you have done nothing yourself, yes you will get shit thrown at you.

Don't say that Ive done nothing. I can say that Ive done done pretty much for the sport over here, like promoting it by presenting my footy on extreme film festivals, huge picture gallery that everyone that's involved in extreme sports puts his pics on (my gif of a 180 briflip is currently first on the top list there), links to videos on skate/bike forums etc. When I started riding there were like 3 riders in Poland including me in my brother, now I know about like 20, some of them clearly admit that they started riding after they saw my footage. Ive shown hundreds of ppl that scootering exists and its not worse than any other sport. Its not much, not comparible with ricky, Kc etc, but definately not nothing. I just dont brag about it much.
But I dont want to make a fight about who has done what for the sport. Maybe youre right, its just the beginning and I hope the whole buisness and the scooter will progress, so I shouldnt be disappointed right now. I just fear that it might die, as many "killer ideas" of scooter riders. But if it dies or not progresses in the future, then I'll have the right to be disappointed.

I'm only on SR since today and before that I only was on the MX forums. I'm also on the TPC forums and the Whip Scooters forums since thursday.

That was ages ago, I have a lot more knowledge now about the whole scooter scene. I waited on purpose to go back here when I got more experience on other less noob-hating forums, lol.

So this is why everyone has a problem with SR. (fighting is geeeyy like terry said)

Listen up!

So ok, the BASIC pro model will be coming out shortly. I just finalized it last week. First off, itÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s not ONLY targeted at the advanced and experienced rider. ItÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s a scooter to get people into Scootering. Just like the pro model but with some small adjustments. I donÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t want to ask my boss to spend all this money on a scooter and then all the sudden have no turn out when I sell them. Then I would owe a bunch of money. Not a smart thing to do. This is cheep, simple and practical. I was at the park last night with a demo Signature Pro Model and the kids that were there with there scooters thought the scooter was amazing. Looking at that, there scooters were literally crap. One kid didnÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t even have grips. He just wore gloves. I love how many people still to this day donÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t have a clue what you can do on a scooter. People even say "you can put grip tape on a scooter?" some people are so far gone.

I understand what Pete is coming from. And he is right, it is Constructive Criticism. With out getting everyone's opinion, I am shooting in the dark. This forum is a huge help in product development. I want everyoneÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s opinion, and I donÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t want people getting mad at other peoples Opinions. That is Nonsense.

I will be coming out with a Second Advanced Pro Model after releasing my first model. I could not settle on just having 1 scooter. The first model is to get kids into the sport. Once they have got into the sport, they want THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY! (just like everyone on SR today) Which will be the Advanced KC Pro Scooter. (I am looking into making a whole scooter with out RazorÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s parts) ItÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s in the developing stage now and will take a while. I want this scooter to be the BEST!

Last night I was at the park hanging out with a bunch of skaters and BMX riders. ItÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s funny how much people spend on BMX bikes. Some one asked me, Ã?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦Ã¢â?¬Å?how much does that scooter costÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? (My advanced pro) and I said, roughly $150. Then one of the BMX Riders said, Ã?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦Ã¢â?¬Å?Holy shit, I spend that much on pedalsÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??? heÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s now seriously considering starting to ride scooters.

So keep in mind that this first model is not directed at kids like Pete, or any advanced rider for that matter. ItÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s to get kids, who donÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t ride, into riding.

well KC... we mite be only spendin $150 a scooter and bikers pay a whole of alot more.... but bikes dont snap half as easy as scooters do... i know alot of riders including me who go through scooters every couple of months, sometimes not even... at the end of the day wouldnt the equivelancy be the same??

i dunno im probly rong but if ur signature model lasted a long time than i would consider buyin it... if not than i will continue buyin cheap scooters and mod it myself...

how long will ur signature scooter last for the average scooter riders on this site??... if it lasts alot longer a will buy it..... thanks

Then come out with a scooter Jason. I am not saying I am the first one to have a headset. I know. I just started riding headsets a few years ago. But this is what I ride now, and it is what I want a signature scooter to have. Does not mean I am the first.

To answer your question Gazza, The expensive scooter would last a good while. Some parts like wheels, grips, grip tape etc. might not last as long as the reinforced frame parts, but thatÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s just like a biker replacing his tires, grips, chain, simple cheaper items that donÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t last as long as let say the frame or fork or bars. I know plenty of Bikers who spend hundreds and brake there parts in a matter of weeks. That is just the nature of the beast. I am not saying my scooter will brake in weeks; it all depends on how you ride. The model will reflect how I RIDE. Hence the SIGNATURENESS! :)

But everyone has a good point. I get what you are saying. What else do people think? I want to hear everyoneÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s thoughts.
