imo high headtube angles lik 84 -85 is dumb cause it makes tail whips stupid hard.

but 83 isnt a fad because its actually functional, makes flowing waayyy nice without making tail whips harder :)

bandanas on bars
wrists bands on headtube
nitro/blunt/phoenix decks for people who dont NEED them (most little kids)
backflips and bri variations. over done. get creative.
bar twists
purple and black colour combos

i'd say crows, yak wheels and defiant quad clamps but crows are actually good, and the wheels + clamp were pretty good for the price.
and whats wrong with keyboard grips? :/ they're heaps good if you cant get ODI's or edwins

THIS is a dumb fad. How everyone in the scooter community is OBSESSED with these two god damn grips. ODIs are okay, not the best but ok, but I absolutely cannot stand edwins. With all the good grips there are on the market, I have no clue why a lot of people think they have to choose one or the other.

bars should be minimum 18" wide, anything under you might as well ride pro bars
no no no no. wide bars are becoming more of a trend than anything. skinny bars are where it's at, i mean dan barrett only rides like 15 wide

No. Theres a big difference between 16 wide one piece bars and stock pro bars. Some people don't like wide ass bars. Don't be stupid.


anything over 81.5 is dumb and weird to ride for me
Again, dont be dumb. some people literally cant ride an hta 81.5 or under. It feels like shit too me. It's preference not a fad.


An actual fad would be like quad clamps. They are useless, all you need is a double clamp to keep your bars on, adding another is just pointless.

really high bars like 23-
anything below 18 wide

I love backsweep, I ride bmx, so wheni have 20w crowbars it makes it feel more like a bike and gives you style/better turndowns
