on the ball.
what i am trying to get specifically out of this scoot is to feel like the first scooters i rode but with a massive increase in durability. they were Blade/Madd decks and stock bars w/ trolley pole (obviously better forks). pretty much razor old a with a curve side instead of straight lines/triangle.
if i rode it now i would break it in a day but i can recreate the feel by allowing the parts to stress in zones that usually never even cop a scratch. a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
in theory they will hold almost as long but with the added flex, problem is they do have a quicker fatigue (bending) and more sudden failure point if a certain amount of force in certain areas is used. i would give you numbers but they wont match up or sit right with many other riders abilities because well... its not for anyone person but myself to need to know since you wont ride it.
i will give you the weight numbers so you can scratch your head raw trying to understand how it holds.
forks: 230g (axle,compression,headset races) deck:1240g(brake,grip,bolts,headset,axle) bars:730g(grips,clamp,starnut) wheels:500g pair w/bearings (no mods)
sitting on about 2.7 kg(6 pound) atm, had drilled out ethic incubes but i wore them out last week, they were 420g with bearings.

Really needs a paint job on the bars and the clamp, otherwise it wouldn't that horrible for something to mess around on

Ok here it is. Why tf would you spend so much time and effort to make your scooter lighter when literally you could go to the gym and lift weights for 20 minutes to achieve the same affect. Maybe instead of modding the shit out of a scooter to make it lighter if you made yourself stronger ot would work out in the long run lol

lol one takes 3 hours and the other one months of effort, eating right, no intoxicants etc. i already sorted that by keeping my body a certain way, flexible and light. building muscle defeats both. do you think im a noob about this? do you think that because you dont do what i do you know how and why i do what i do?

Just like your scooter!!!!!
Because you'll become that much stronger with 20 min at the gym...

because its experimenting with parts and all that, his setup may look like "holy shit wtf" to everyone but like, its something different and unique compared to what you generally see, you know?
and also no ones gonna try steal his scoot with the mods ahha
