Ok, here's one for you all.....

If YOU could create the Ultimate high end Pro Grade Scooter literally from the ground up...... with NO restrictions...... and NO limitations, what would it look like and what new or novel features would it have????

What are the niggling things on existing scooters that really get on your !"$£ and what would you like to improve or change? :)

I see you're trying to start a business. It would be a lot easier to design features for a scooter if you actually rode one.

by "we" you mean "you" as you don't speak for everyone.

Personally. My own pro deck would be 3.8 wide, spring brake/flexy compatible, footjam happy front end. light weight, 80.5 headtube angle.

I hate wide decks and high headtube angles. nothing else really bothers me.

actually, i do mean we, because with the direction WE are going as a sport, the industry will die within 10-15 years, once there are less little kids riding, and the industry isn't as thriving.

Rider-owned companies are what the sport needs. All of the companies like District, Razor, Blunt, MGP, and others seem to only care about money, and not the parts. Only the riders know what is a good part and what isn't.

We also need to go slap some sense into the little 12 year old's so they stop buying rainbow-colored scooters. It just makes all scooter riders look retarded.

There. I vented.

again parrish you mean "you" there are some people like me who don't care about "where the sport is going" and just ride for fun.

And that was just my idea of a good deck Fabritzio. You can chalk your ideas up here too.

i designed my one a long time ago but never got produced, got put aside for "more important stuff" but i got the fuck outta there.
ill warn you guys now, without actual knowledge on riding, you have a hard time cad drawing an efficient design with the desired end result(weight balance being the main one), i have been working on it but i only have beginner 3d capabilities but i can draw on paper exactly what works and i modify all my scooters with the limited tools i have at home but always ends up as an improvement. pm me if you want more detail on this stuff

Billie Rainbow's modifications: lots of speedholes.

Anyway, my optimum deck is: Alu, sqaure sides (like a district), heat treated, square dropouts for possible 5-0s, 82.5-83 hta, 19.75 inches long, 4.25 inches wide. But make ot strong, as well as light.
Also, a hidden parabolic gusset/in the deck, to absorb impact and prevent bananaing.
