Scooter: Is it worth it?

[dowdie223]

So I stopped scooting for about 3 months and I decided to come back. No longer have my scoot so I'm looking for a new one. I'm an intermediate rider (or was), I could bri-flip, tail whip, 180 tail, tailwhip stairsets, grind handrails, etc. Is this worth it?

EDIT: SCROLL BELOW FOR RE-UPDATED SETUP

[ConnorD]

Just get a Fuzion Elite instead

 

[Jon.]

and I'm not getting some Factory complete - let alone a fuzion.

1. DONT get threaded forks.
2. just get threadless and a threadless headset and use ics, its gunna be just as expensive.
3. you need 2 wheels.
4. 18 high 18 wide? how tall are you?

4. I'm 4'11/5'0 (80lbs)


P.S. my old scoot was an all stock razor pro model except for proto retro bars that i got for $30 from my friend so I don't know much about scooter parts. my b-days in 9days so I'm getting a new scoot.

Yeah and I've grown 4.5 inches since September. I'm thinkin like 18 by 20. But I'm redoing my whole setup now. My new setup.

Sky blue rup with red parts? And I would say better wheels, I don't think yaks are very good from what I've heard.

70 bucks for an ultra pro deck? Ridiculous.

Yeah, I've seen places where you can get one for like $56.00.

Yeah I've been to VertX. and I'm getting the same deck only in Orange for $59.99. and I'm getting black parts now.

 

[james blott]

Buy a razor ultra pro black lable change headset n fork's and your good to go

 

[djs 2233]

yeah dont get yaks, mgp blade cores or blunt whee;s will be much better

 

[CollinDonnelly95]

just spend the money on a good decK

 

[gjdadj]

mgp blade cores are bad dont get them, get protos or eagles. theyre the two best. correct me if i'm wrong

i dehubbed a blade core a couple of days ago hey r sh!t

 

[R-Dubya]

That setup is just a fail. A Fuzion Elite is hands down better and it's a fraction of the price. Or you could just get a complete Ultra Pro for the price of the deck on Inward. It isn't worth buying just an Ultra deck for more than the complete is worth just because it's powdercoated.

Oh and btw. Gloss red forks, gloss blue deck, gloss red brake, anodized red clamp, and anodized purple wheels will look like total shit.

In my opinion, you should buy a nitro. Its got decent bars, a decent fork and scs, 110 wheels and the new mgp flex fenders. These are the main parts you will find on alot of setups and since it comes with threadless forks and scs, gives you more options for the future if you wish to change your fork or scs.
