Is weight a real issue

[i ride bmx]

it seems as thought it would make sense to invest in durability more than weight on a scooter... or am i wrong? does weight really effect riding?

 

[Joe Riley]

People have different opinions on weight. Some like heavier scooters and say they're better for flowing. Others like lighter scooters. It's all personal opinion. You would want to sacrifice weight for durability, not durability for weight.

 

[i ride bmx]

yeah cuz i've snapped like two decks and i really just want to get something really heavy-duty

if your beginner you might like lighter decks and then kinda stop caring about weight as you get better. but the lightest/heavy duty deck i no about is the district

 

[saltwater]

What decks have u been running?
If they are just pro models you should just reinforce them.

front weight doesnt matter at all. but to me deck weight does a lot. i had a reinforced pro then got a reinforced ultra pro and learned flat double whips the first day. also made bris a lot easier
