dumbest/weirdest scooter fads

STREET
High headtube angles (for me, anything over 80 haha.)

Backsweep. I had backsweep a long time ago. It was alright but didn't make a huge difference.

CROWS. I cannot believe I saw someone with 16 wide crows. The fuck man?
Odi/animal edwins. I've ridden edwins and killed them in 2 weeks, odis last forever but eh. try new things, seriously. i never buy the same grip twice.

hating on old decks seems to be a fad. sure one piece is nice, but I love the feel of an old A.

flex fenders, although they work i enjoy brakes more.
SMX forks. They look ugly to me.

you just described like my whole scooter :(

this amazes me

Crows don't have rise because they're one piece. If they had a stem, they'd have rise. And 15 degrees backsweep on bars as narrow as yours is the most pointless thing I've ever heard of. Stop with the technical shit? Well I wouldn't need to explain this stuff if you knew what you were talking about in the first place.

its max rise is 24" in scs. theres rise. and the scs is kinda like a stem

crows don't have rise because they dont have rise , a stem and a scs affect hight ... hight is not rise

rise is up-sweep like on bmx bars

and for people that say
Backsweep is made for riding and flowing not doing tricks.

bmx bars are not strait bits of metal , nor are mountain bike bars

backsweep is also better for your wrists

Rise is NOT upsweep. Rise is only applicable if the bars are more than 1 piece. Aka IF IT HAS A STEM. Rise is how high bars are above the stem. Hence the reason why no 1 piece bars can have rise. My crossbar on my TSI scepters has no rise. It's 22h at the stem, and the bars are 22 high. They DO have some upsweep though. Upsweep is like backsweep, but up. Duh.

up-sweep = upsweep
hight = rise.
