man i been waiting for kc to buy them and sell on trick kick but i guess that will never happen. so pretty soon im gonna give up on him and make more so i donno when but ya they will be more danker and maybe i will have them powder coated or somthing but then they will cost more...

plus weve been working on designing decks and will probably have 3 prototypes by next week for david javier and cary to test. they will be full cnc'd billet aluminum and will be sooooo strong.

...and sooooo expensive... PM me about the bars I might be able to set something up in the store if KCs not going to do it... no promises though cause I have my hands pretty full right now as it is.

ay cory when you make those bars make sure you maker a lot cos i know of at least 20 -30 aussies that want some....

also do RAD bars snap forks alot more?

rad bars dont snap forks its peoples riding.
the way a person ride can also determine the way forks and such can break. i have never brokena fork wiht rad bars but yet again i have reinforced forks so i cant really talk.
 
Well its possible to say that 'rad bars break forks'; theyre just stronger than the regular bars so they distribute the force elsewhere instead of absorbing it, I think.

And cory, is that aluminium stronger than 4130 steel? if no, will you also be making steel decks?
And if youre making prototyped of decks here's a suggestion: think of a better way to attach the brake cause drilling a hole at the base of dropouts really decreases the deck strength, most of my decks snapped right there.

I have the old style ones and I'm just fine and dandy with them, I did break one fork while riding them, but that was one probably the sketchiest tailwhip to fakie in the world, so I don't think it was the bars that much.

yeas they will be expensive but in the long run they will last forever. by the time you go htrough like 3-4 pro models you will spend the same amount and if we sell this deck it will for sure be strong enough to NEVER break EVER! so to me itd be worth it. a typical bike frame is 300 or more and people dont complain about that cause they last along time. this deck would last forever too.

Ive broken 2 forks in my almost 4 years of riding. Lean forward when you land?

I would save up to buy a deck even at that price. Your right about the BMx thing too Cory.

Yeah bike frames are 300, so how much would htis deck cost?, Bike frames last most of the kids i know around here around 6 monthish, i dont think a scooter deck is really worth it, and you cant compare bmx to scooters, a good wheelset with hubs and everything from when i biked i think was like 3-400 dollars, sell a wheelset for 150 bucks and i doubt anyone will buy it, i just think making such expensive scooter parts isnt worth it, if people really break stuff that much as to where they need to pay hundreds off dollars for a scooter, i say they dont pay that, is ay they clean the hell up.

i say those bikers clean the hell up hahahah 6 months? wtf!... mine last AT LEAST 3 years. ive never rode a frame less than 3 years. i rode a frame used that was ridden for 2 years and i rode it for 3 more and its still perfect.
well scooter wheels would not ever cost as much as bike wheels. but the deck wouldnt be as much as a bike frame i was just saying it pays for itself by lasting forever.
