[gjdadj]

also: on ,my channel i have afew clips you may wanna watch, nothing fancy, i'm still getting used to riding them, they feel VERY different to a normal scoot and i've never ridden bmx or had any other previous expiereince that would help.

So Aussie. Is the brake made out of like a ruler? Looks good though. Dunno how well the neck will hold up though.

 

[gjdadj]

i am aussie..... dont stereotype me -_- the flexxy is a ruler, i used a ruler because its heat rewated ateel, they make REALLY good flexfenders!

Looks decent 6.5/10 welds could be cleaner but looks fun. Have fun

thanx the welder i own sucks! its a oxy welder with broken dials.... and i had to hold wire in my hand and feed it in, i really wish i used a mig.... i will be buying a mig soon then i might even make like a dozen or so of these, they cost ~$80 to make and someone just offered me $250 for mine, do i smell money?

Its not a stereotype if you fulfill the stereotype. I was talking about your accent.

How? wouldnt the bars alone be like 80?

 

[revo]

i think he means just the deck

 

[Maz.]

Thats actually sick, also finally someone made on that won't grind out looks sick, but i'd be scared of the neck snapping. Good pics please?

no. idk about in amerixca but in australia you can literally buy batwings in
k-mart for $40. and i have a box full of spare/scrap scooter parts that didnt cost me much, just spare parts of crappy dump scooters but it all works, i brought like 10 scooters for like $5 at aussie junk and spraypaint costs $2.50 so they are dirt cheap to make.

 

[gjdadj]

this is mine and a mates dirt scooters, i have about 100 pictures of it, from the build and afew riding photos, if you wanna see how it was made or something i'll upload the steps i too kin order or whatever

and this is my old one..... it snapped

bumping this thread because i have a question:
the head tube angle and deck itself has a slant when riding and its very hard to ride with.... without welding the deck how can i fix this? i'm thinking by shortening my forks but my welder is broken so i cant weld at all. what should i do???

 

[Grant Schofield]

nice! i'm so jelly! i would do ANYTHING for a tig

You just said that you hate oxy and you use tig just like you would oxy by holding the stick and feeding it

 

[gjdadj]

yes but oxy has messy dials and a huge temeratture variation. and tig is alot cleaner and easier (for me) they also weld al most all alloys including alu so i would be able to weld up legit decks
