YOUR SCOOTER #3

[Matt Pate]

dude put on bar ends...that metal showing is no good...i sevored my tendon on my knowped cuz the ends of the bars were like that, couldnt use my left hand for a whole summer, even longer then the summer. had to re learn to use my left hand and they told me i would be lucky to make a grip with my hand again so whatch out

theres not much more you can do to my scooter

reinforced fork
unsealed fsa headset
reds bearings
fuzion grips only foam ill ride theyre like memory foasm and quite comfy
deathbox rails
yaks 100mm hold up longer than 110mm
I cut my bars down to like 21 or 20 inches and its easier to do stuff haha look at the haggard ass notches in them
I took my bar ends off its actually easier for me to do barspins without them
haha dont ask about the griptape its a long story

 

[farmboy uk]

love the peg james, how wide are your bars

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah man those bars are wiiiiiide, I wanted to get my new Rad's a bit wider than my old ones but they came the same size still better than stock though.

 

[Steezeman]

Double post, sorry.

So here's my new scooter, New A with a B foldy I got courtesy of Miles Quirk.

It only took me about 3 1/2 hours to drill the holes and put all the stuff from my old A onto this one. So basically it was really hard, I don't recomend you do this if you don't have the right tools, if it weren't for my Dremel it could've easily taken an hour more. I like it a lot though, it's a lot taller, the manuals are different but I'm already learning, same with fakies to some extent, and icepicks are a lot easier. So here it is, it's-

New A, B foldy
full deck grip
lock on ODI Ruffians
110 Yak up front, 100 in back (soon to be the low profiles ones in the shop)
V.2 Rads
Hoffman bar ends
crazy handlebar clamp
FSA Pig unsealed
reinforced fork
my old A brake (never changing a brake again)
Locked foldy

soon to come-
skateboard rails
reinforced deck (I'm gonna try to keep this thing for as long as I can)

wow that is a smooth lookin scooter

 

[JAM3S]

nice looking scoot, love the clamp<3

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah man the clamp is a beast, I got it for free at this bike shop because it's really old and stuff. But it clamps really well and it has dual clampage power.

Also, thanks again to Miles for sending me the plate that goes with the foldy so I could make my own one from the stock new A one, only to have him tell me he sent me that so I could take it apart and put it back on, after drilling out the holes.

Little kid down the street's (Tom) scooter, Its accually pretty good I gave him my Madd scooter wheel and Razor Pro wheel that I had spear, look out for Tom in the future, this kid is like 6 and can 360 flat and 180 off my kicker as well as jump this huuuge gap outside my house...

I got a quick go on this scooter today, Its a JD Bug Flex its sooo fun! (Its not me on the scoot its my mate)

Edit: Sorry about the quality & blur of the pics I had to take the pics super quick... Ill get more if I can...

 

[Madis]

I got a new fork from Egon's old scoot he doesn't use. Threaded and with a nice long forktube. Now it's reinforced too. But anyway what i discovered about it was that it ALMOST fits 125mm wheel. I could use the 125mm in back and carve some really rough pavements to get some millimeters off the wheel so it could fit in the fork.

 

[jakob-b]

o them jdbugs on ebay its got a new foling mech ..

 

[farmboy uk]

i don't think the mech matter on that so much as its attached in a different way, that is like such a micro rip off lol, but id rather have that as it has a threaded fork not micro lets get all wiggly system

my ride is my pride 8)

from top to bottom:
Hockey stick tape on the foam bars.
Cut the t-tube to make it lighter.
fork is specially welded and reenforced inside... !heart
All bearings soaked in alchohol and have a light layer of vasoline. spins forever!
brake is modded aswell.

That is definately the sickest scoot I have seen, EVER.

And regarding the hockey stick tape, did you use the rougher kind, or the smooth kind (kind of like electrical tape)? I should try that myself, because the duct tape I have one my grips keeps coming off a bit...

 

[farmboy uk]

duct tape grips must be uncomfortable!

k. basically it depends on how sticky you want it. im guessing john didnt compress the foam and just lightly taped a layer or two over the scoot grips. just get some canadian hockey tape (canadians are cool) and tape it.

wouldnt that make it weaker?? :?

 

[Steezeman]

Not really, because it's still clamping on the same thing. It's like cutting your seatpost or cutting you fork on a bike, as long as it's not too extreme it's fine.

 

[scooterpro]

<3 lookin at all the scooter setups looks sik guys

 

[scooterpro]

My New Bars lol 18.5inch wide lol

 

[Madis]

That stock t-tube won't last you long with that wide bars.
I was almost getting myself 18" but i decided to let Cory cut them to 16" wide.

edit: why do you have the blue foam there?
