A while back i bough 6 100mm yaks for myself. it was maybe 2 months ago. I was loving them at first...fast and strong.....i thought. They started breaking quicker than my other wheels. i thought it was the trick i was trying at the moment wich you will find out what it is when the BLT video comes out <3. I stopped trying them for a while and they still kept breaking..wtf. So i fiigured i would put on 2 brand new pair never ridden for a while to break them in because i wasnt going very big that day. scooterflips over a picnic table was what i was trying wich usually doesnt break many wheels...your scooter is always strait so you usually roll away if you land it. Not even 10 minutes doing this trick i landed PERFECT and snapped my back wheel pretty much in half WTFF..along with the front one severly cracked. what the hell is up with this.i know people are starting to make better parts like RAD and i know KC's model id pretty gnar.. But companys, such as razor is making shittier and shittier scooters everytime they put one out. no offense to the razor riders because i know without razor scooters i would deffinitaly would not be as good as i am now. im just saying that the more money companys make they should make better components for their product. i know it wasnt a razor product that broke but that was what went through my mind....sorry for ranting.

probably should have put in the rant thread...haha sorry

haha, well ive probably mentioned this to you before tyler about yaks, is that well, they suck for kicker and street. park 110s are awesome because theyre bigger and faster and like never come off the rim. but for kicker and street, just like bashing them over and over from a height, i mean i gave brandon marchant some old yaks of mine, most of them had little cracks in one or two spokes, and one was only ridden at talent twice and was still fine, just sort of compressed..and hes broken all of them. one was with a triple off my small kicker and every spoke broke. ive never broken a yak at talent either except trying shit on the rail with a broken wheel since it was kind of a hard landing.

as for razor...idk theyre parts are pretty shttty, decks are good but like forks completely suck. anyone on here on razor that sees this, i think it would be cool if you could get razor to start making the threads on the forks a little thicker on the inside so they dont break so easily. bending the acctually dropout part of the fork isnt so bad because you can bend it back but the threads are weak as all hell. t tubes arent that great either. maybe make the welds a little stronger on them? thats the only place i think most peope break them.

I got myself banned.
Mike McGowan has been goes threw the 100mm yaks like nothing haha. If you really wanna make an investment, get a pair of the micro metal cores. Mine have been holding up since the NY competition, although i can ride a pair of yak 110s for about 2 months without them breaking
