Could you enlighten me with more info lol. I mean I've been riding since 2000 on and off, and I don't really wanna buy another razor, they just seem like crap now. What feels different about a 0 offset fork?

its for a really techy rider, it means the fork is directly below the bars instead so that its easier for nose mannys but you arent as stable, so if your more of a a park rider id get one with ofset, unless all you really ride is like flatground and things of that nature id go for a zero ofset fork

And yeah, id go with an ultra pro for u. They are good scooters and it doesn't seem like money is an issue for u so buy some new wheels, grips, paint the bars, griptape and then you'll definitely be set. Or buy the new ultra black label from titetoyz.com

Thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it. Titetoyz.com has not been working for me for the past 4 days? And I like to ride park but I wanna learn barspins better and nose manny lol. Is it noticeably harder to ride park with a 0 offset? Is it worth buying 2 seperate forks to swap out?

wtf just buy one fork. zero offset is not better in any way for anything. when chosing a fork, just ignore the 0 offset.

i think if you've been riding since 2000 you wouldve known about 0 offsets....

anyways some expensive but the best forks are: Phoenix phorx, Lucky SMX, Pro Comp Scorcher

but i suggest the TSI thom cat, never broken, 65 bucks, threadless

I rode a pos micro for a year or 2 then got a razor a, rode that for manyy years until that broke and bought a razor with the spring suspension and im still riding it, but it feels like its gonna break and the suspension is a joke. Nobody in my area rides so I had no idea of these better scooters or anything lol.

calm down.


ignore these kids. nobody understands that everything is PREFERENCE.
look through the scooters section of the forum. each subsection has a thread at the top that explains all types of bars/forks/wheels/etc. read through the stickied threads to give you a good idea of what parts are like before you decide what you want.

^^ I have been, I have no problem buying parts new either but for the first "pro" scooter maybe buy a complete used one. Already a jump it seems from an old razor A. And get more of an idea for specs on the parts I might like.
