advice on learning tricks

[P4RK3R]

Yesterday i was bored, so i decided to make a tramp scoot, which is basically a normal scooter that is covered in duct tape with cardboard underneath (to prevent sharp spots in the deck from cutting through the tape) and tennis balls over the dropouts.

Well, as usual, it started raining, so I decided to use the tramp scoot in my garage, and it really helped me on 360s, tiretaps, whips, barspins, lookbacks, scooter fakies, etc...

My point is that if all you beginners out there make a tramp scooter using a new a or whatever, then you can probably learn a lot more tricks, and you don't have the problem of landing crooked and falling.

So i will post some pics of mine up in here, and if you guys are nice enough to post pics of your tramp scoot, then thet's be great!

You guys will probably think I'm retarded... but I made a tramp scooter.
Four Tennis Balls + Old Rags + Grip Tape + Butt loads of Duck Tape =

this is probly the nicest tramp scooter i've ever seen. 0% chance of that thing busting a hole in the tramp

lol trampoline scoot

that's only good if you tape more/use tennis balls, because that can poke a hole in your tramp/messup your forks on flat ground

Here's my tramp scoot, made out of some steel scooter I found, works pretty well if I do say so myself.

another nice one


here's a video of one, but this guy didn't tape his, so he got holes in his tramp

so there's some ideas about tramp scooters and whatnot.
also, if you are trying it on flatground, you will probly want a towel or mat to be ontop of so you don't mess up the tape

haha you used me for two examples
and my tramp scooter works fine, that was my old tramp in the vid that of course my little bro wreced, cause he and is friends rode their bikes on it and fell all over the place

but my tramp scoot works fine haha, exact same one as you see in the pics, and hasnt busted any holes yet in my new tramp

Lol, I can do barspins on my tramp scoot and I got a double fingerwhip once, sweet. But all I really do is toboggans and turndowns, sucks you can't fakie on a tramp scoot.

 

[Dustin Nooner]

There's a Specials sticker on the scooter with blue grips. that makes me rediculously happy.

i can tripple fingerwhip, whip late double fingerwhip, whip late briflip, inward late whip, bar late double fingerwhip and lots more
but i cant even come close to any of that shit on my real scooter

looks sick and that vid was even sicker... haha who was that???
me and my friends (tommy napolitan, corey migliaccio) tryed that and stopped after we put small rips in one of my tramps... now they turned into bigger rips from backflip 360s and frontflip 540's from me hahahaha
