YOUR BROKEN SCOOTER

[Victor C.]

Which is also why noobs learning to tailwhip do the same, by tailwhipping, and not landing it, and slamming their wheel into the ground. The wheel wasn't made for that, so I see little kids saying that good parts suck.

Derek breaks every wheel. I don't think it's about the wheels sucking, I just think Derek rides too hard for any of the wheels currently available lol. Any of those huge combos that end with a non-caught whip over a huge box (triple fingerwhip, whip bar whip, etc) put tons of awkward pressure on the wheels, it's really not surprising that they break.

Nail on the head buddy. Parts break, sometimes they break because the rider is sketchmania and puts too much stress on the scooter and sometimes they break because the rider goes too hard for the parts. We can't keep blaming companies forever, we're lucky they even exist

The wheel broke from me landing a little sketchy on a bar bar bar over this hip last weekend, It's my fault. I am just hoping that freestyledepot doesn't fuck me over with my warrantee.

Took fd 6 months to ship me a new gripper but idgaf cause they actually replaced it

thank you travis, i was about to post exactly the same.
the problem is not the parts, it is the sketchy riders

If proto wheels are ridden right, they will most likely not dehub. The only proto wheels that were bound to dehub were the 1st batch fullcores because they had a smaller diameter core, with more urathane to meet the 110mm size. Ever since proto came out with anodized cores, the diameter of the cores have been increased by about 2mm (I measured). So since then, proto wheels have had more core and less urathane. This makes a significant difference in the chance of dehubbing. If you're still dehubbing protos, clean up your tricks. Its all you. Mr. House is right.

my friends JR wheels is about to donut dehub and he donut dehhubed his Dk v.1 sigs and a different pair of grippers now he thought getting sliders was the fix...i guess not

He must not ride them correctly. I'm not calling him bad or sketchy, but there's things to do to break protos in so this doesn't happen.

[Chris36]

[OwenP.]

No, that was with the old proto wheels you don't need to ride them in the front for however long
