what the hell to frid, alu is pointless for scooters without heat treating, that would very embarrassing. shot peening it would slow the snapping process big time

See there's a reason why people who trade parts a lot are never happy with a setup. You have to get USED to a setup. IE ride it for at least a month or two before passing judgement on it. That's why everyone says that a new part they just got is "OMG SOOOOO GOOD" because it simply feels different than their old parts. And then a week later they think it doesn't feel as good because that feeling of constantly adjusting to new parts, that has been equated by them to a part being good, starts to fade. You just have to ride the damn thing. After riding that part for a while, then you start to realize whether or not you actually like it. The more you trade parts trying to find a good setup, the harder it's going to be for you to actually find a good setup.

amen to that man. for instance, so the kiddies can understand, i am a tall dude. 6'01 with size ten feet. riding a 4 inch wide and i think 19 inch long RUP deck with its slack ass headtube angle, just bashes my knees up and puts me in awkward positions for tricks just trying to stay on the damn scooter. so, i saved up and for the first time ive ever strayed from Razor, i switched to an 83 5" 21" Orion with 24 wide Raderalls and i have never been happier with a scooter.

by the way, i think bigger is better for scooters at this point. anyone else?

I agree. People say that deck size is all about the way you ride, I have size 13 feet, a rup will not work for me. I love the footroom on my Orion, and the v2i's are perfect
