carbon fiber 1 piece deck w/ no folding mech would be sick....
Theres allready a carbon fiber scooter, but its got a mech and they break pretty easy i think. If you saw NBS4 Mark Atkins tailwhips off a roof with one and the deck snaps. I think Ali was selling them like $200 a scoot but i don't know if theres any left.

I rode Addy's and it was scary, I wouldn't trust it at all.

if you wanna do tricks like that then just practice, but pressing a button to do a trick for you is gay even if it could be done. thats why i dont like video games

I think he means if you hit the button it loosens up to be kickflip and heelflipable but not tailwhip or heelwhipable and once you rehit the button it goes back to normal

Right, let's say we DO get different scooters in the future or "scooture", but anyway, say we have lever for brakes.. what will happen with our back wheel, I mean, If we have a lever, and a brake cable -
1] where will it go, if we grind we might damage it, etc.
2] If our feet touch the wheel, then we're buggered, because it will cause more bails, and more injurys, as we will fly off the scooter. So what will we do to refrain our feet from touching the scooter..? A brake thing, but not so we can use it, just to stop our feet from touching the wheel, is a bad idea. it will look ugly, stupid, and out of place, so what WILL we do? I think scooters should stay practically the same, but obviously, people are making their custom parts, like SimpleScooters, TrckScooters, and RAD. I just think they should change by colour, stock models [by already coming modded, unless you don't want it that way, for example, reinforced bullets, or regular bullets], weight, terrain specialty[specially made for park, vert, street, flatland]. I think scooters will spread, and become a huge sport in the US and Australia, about a year before it will become this in England, due to the amount of riders in Australia, the USA, and the shocking amount of riders in the UK. For example - When I'm at the local skatepark, BMXers and skaters are like "Hey, are there any pros at this sport?" I'm like "Duhh." This wouldn't happen in the US at the moment, nor in Australia.
So, not too far from now, it will become an international sport in my opinion, and hopefully will be in the x-games [my dream :p] So yeah. that's my point of view of the "Scooture"

Scooters are basically already all 5mm allen heads. Unless hes buying bolts with 5mm allen heads for the folding mech.
