Stan Smirnoff, No Longer on Addict??

The following statement was released to me earlier today from the Addict Team.


"Everyone has heard the rumors about Stan, some of you may have been directly involved with some his "deals". Although we were skeptical at first, we took Stan in good faith, hoping that he had put his past behind him. However, over the last few months we have come to realize that he hasn’t changed at all. Addict is a serious company, we’re like a family. So we don’t appreciate those who lie and cause trouble for us behind our backs. We gave Stan numerous chances but he still swindles us and constantly pesters us about money. Stan is not a true rider, he doesn’t respect his sponsors. He just sells and steals his way through he can better himself. We have no regrets to let him go.

Be sure to keep an eye out for our new rider. Whom we will be announcing in a few weeks time.


-Addict"


So it looks like one thing or another has led to the separation of Stan Smirnoff and Addict. For further news on this issue, keep checking Inside-Scooters.

Scooter Hut Now Carrying Blunt and Lucky Parts

"Blunt and Lucky Scooter parts are now available at Scooter Hut. We understand that a lot of riders want to get their hands on this stuff, and we are now carrying a lot of products from both companies for you guys.

In preparation for our shop makeover in July, which will include an extra 60sq metres (or 80sq yards) of floor space in our custom scooter workshop (bringing it to a total of 140sq metres), Scooter Hut has recently added Blunt and Lucky scooter parts to its range of products. In addition to these products, Scooter Hut is also due to take stock of DSA, Proto, Ambush and Phoenix products next month. Our prices are always the lowest in Australia, but to celebrate the expansion of our store, we'll be offering some extra-special promotions in July, so check out the website and do not miss out on these once-in-a-lifetime promotions.
 
We took stock of Blunt and Lucky scooter parts about 3 weeks ago, and they are proving to be hot commodities amongst the Aussie scooting fraternity. In the Lucky range the Pro decks are especially popular, as are the NW forks and Tres bars. All of Lucky's range is extra heavy duty, and is most popular with the older guys or those who need hardcore gear for their aggressive riding. We are due to receive Lucky LSv3 forks in a couple of weeks, so look out for them on the website or in our store, as they're sure to sell out fast.

The home-grown Aussie brand, Blunt Scooters, have also proven to be enormously popular, with our entire range of Stripper bars sold out within one week!! We still have a few Candy bars left, but no doubt these won't last long, so be quick to get yours, as Blunt tell us there is a three week wait for new stock to arrive in. You can preorder online or instore now, so you don't miss out on the next batch of parts to arrive. Blunt metal core wheels have been given a huge thumbs up from the local riders who have been testing them for us, so definitely worth checking them out when you next go to change your donuts.
 
For all you guys asking about sponsoring...keep sending your videos to us. We're looking for unique and original riders to represent and promote the Scooter Hut brand, and we have exciting plans for anyone chosen to represent our brand, but filtering through all the applicants takes time, so if you do apply please give us time to get back to you.
 
All for now folks,
 
Scott, Travis, Linda and Sandra (The Scooter Hut team)"



It always makes me happy to see companies like Scooter Hut showing such dedication to the sport of scootering. For all news relating to Scooter Hut, and all breaking news and updates in the sport of scootering, keep checking Inside-Scooters.

Coming Soon: Transit Scooter Tour 2

So as you may have heard, plans have been made for another Transit Scooter Tour to go down this summer. This time, however, it will be based from Illinois, with a stop at the Milwaukee 4 Seasons Competition. For those of you who don't know what the first one was, it was a trip planned by Matt and Jon Andrus, of Whitewater, WI to film some of the best pros throughout parks and street in Wisconsin. A full-length DVD was produced after the trip, which has become one of the most well known and enjoyed scooter DVD's ever.

This time around, there'll be an all new cast of riders attending, including:
Jon Meadows
Tommy Daddono
Spencer Steed
Seth Brown
Jordan Jasa
Issac Miller
Matt Dibble
Josh Young
Jeff Mroz
Madis
Sean Cardwell (from June 26th-30th)

All of these riders will be arriving at Tommy Daddono's house this Tuesday the 22nd, and will be traveling to different parks throughout the week. Tommy and Jon Meadows are the two who have been planning the trip, so I caught up with them and asked a few questions about the tour.

Jordan Jasa: How did the idea of having another tour first come up?

Jon: Well Tommy and I have always wanted to plan a big trip/event and have riders from around the country come. We wanted it to be very legit and have everything filmed. We then decided to do some what of a replica of the original Transit Tour. That video defined the sport, and we wanted to have something like that happen again. We also wanted to have a competition during the tour which is why the 4 Seasons comp is happening!

How did you go about choosing riders to be invited for the tour?

Jon: This was the HARDEST part of organizing the whole tour. We couldn't have everyone come out because, well there isn't much room. We set a max number of people who could come and started coming up with names. It started with the Sky-High team, then people we knew and have ridden with, etc. We wanted to choose a vast amount of riders with different styles. We didn't want have a repeat of names from the original transit so it could be different and also have up-and-coming riders there as well.

Are you happy with the final list?

Jon: We are very happy with the final list!! MADIS?!?!?! We would've liked to see BK, Alex Steadman and Ryan Upchurch on the list but its all good!! (:

What do you think the final DVD will end up like? Will it have the same feel as the original Transit Scooter Tour it will it be completely different?

Jon: The DVD will be EPIC, we can promise you that. Unlike the first one, it will be in HD with 2-3 different camera angles. Also, Sam Short will be editing the entire thing! I think this DVD will be more "out there" and "exciting". The first one seemed more sad and downy? We will make it more happy(:

Tommy, you've got some legit camera equipment, what all are you going to use to film the tour?

Tommy: I've got a Vx2100 and a Vx1000 that I'll be using. I also have a dolly and a bunch of other tools to get good shots for the video. Josh Young is bringing his TRV900, so that should be good. Him and I both know what were doing as far as filming goes, and I'm sure a few other people do too, so it should turn out great.

What all can we expect to see in the video? What parks, street spots, etc?

Were going to be riding a bunch of parks like Circus indoor skatepark, 4 seasons skatepark, and Northbrook skatepark. We'll most likely be hitting a park per day, possibly two a day if people feel like switching it up. We'll definitely be riding at night too, I know Josh Young is bringing his rail and I have one, so we'll be doing some sick rail seshes. Theres also a bunch of random street spots around my house and in my town we'll be hitting up.

What are you guys looking forward to most about the trip?

Jon: Getting to meet everyone and the overall experience it will bring. I'm very glad I'm apart of making this happen and I hope it turns out the best.

Tommy: I'm looking forward to chilling with a bunch of new people and making new friends. I'm also going to love the fact that I'll have a DVD to remember the whole experience.


So there you have it...after its all said and done, I'm sure that this DVD will be well worth the watch.

Addict Flip Book.

It's a concept we've not yet seen in the scooter industry.
An online flipbook, to show a catalogue of parts to be released. But what a time to do it.
Here is the Addict signature bars and deck combos, and might i say, what a way to drop them.
You can see all 6 combos in all their vibrant, sharp and one of a kind designs in this flipbook, along with a short foreward from Johann and Kevin.
Hold your mind, blowing is inevitable.

Inside-Scooter's own Aaron Bransdon

Honestly at one time, I just considered Aaron to be another rider from Australia. I couldn't tell you the exact time but in the past couple years, his riding has gone through a real changing process. His style has developed into one of the most naturally good looking styles in the sport. Check out his latest little edit below.

Film and edit by Geordie Mcaleer.

And he sucks at everything he does. Everything. All of it.Camboding.

Get to know Lukas Hornik

We featured one of Lukas's videos on IS a while back, where he got some pretty good recognition. His style is very similar to a young Tyler Bonner. I asked Lukas the old Who, What, Where, and Why...and heres what we got.

Who

Who are some riders that you look up to?

Lukas: For sure Tyler Bonner, and the whole MaddGear Team.

What

What are your favorite tricks to do when you ride?

Lukas: Bri Flips, Fingerwhips, and Spine tricks.

Where

Where is one place you would like to ride if you could go anywhere in the world?

Lukas: If I could go anywhere in the world, I would like to ride in Washington. And any places in Australia to ride with the MGP Team.

Why

Why do you ride scooters?

Lukas: I saw Terry Price's videos and I wanted to be like him. Now Scootering is my LIFE!

Also check out Lukas's latest video below.

What can you bring to the 951 table?

It's always fun to have a little rivalry in the sport, especially internationally.
This is Nick Darger and Nick Donatelli's answer to the video i uploaded a week ago.
Anyone else who has a seshable table, we'd love to see what you can bring to the table

TSI Scepter Bars + Thom Cat Forks Review

I think everyone knows that TSI (Trick Scooters International) makes some of the best decks on the market. But it seems like time and time again TSI is overlooked for two other products they make. Their bars and forks.

To be more specific, The TSI Scepter Bars and the Thom Cat Forks. I was recently sent both to try out for myself…and I was as impressed with these, as I was when I was first sent a TSI to review for Inside-Scooters. So let’s get right into it.


TSI Scepter Bars

At first glance, these might seem like regular 3 Piece Bars. Well think again. The first thing you’ll notice about these bars when you get them…is the weight. These things are really light. The second thing you’ll notice is the cross bar. It’s not your standard 3 piece bars cross bar. It has 5 degrees of Backsweep. This perfect amount of backsweep made for one of the most comfortable bar set ups I’ve rode in a long time. Barspins felt amazingly balance and dialed with this crossbar.

The next thing that caught my attention was the Stem…In the past you might have seen riders wrapping up their Stems with a cloth or bandana, a lot of riders did this to follow other riders…but more than often it was because of sharp edges on other 3 Piece Bars Stem designs. Well you don’t need to worry about that with the TSI Scepter Stem…This thing is beautiful, smooth all around, and not too bulky. It has your standard 4 screws that attach the machined aluminum top cap. Simple and easy. Another thing separating TSI Scepters from the other 3 Piece bars on the market, is that their bottom half of the top cap is welded from the inside to the top of the bars. Not bolted on like other bars.

Another thing that sets these bars apart from other 3 Piece Bar designs? The Poles are designed for HIC. Yes, HIC (Hidden Internal Compression). TSI believes that HIC is and should become the new standard for compression in the sport of scootering. So when you purchase your TSI Scepters you will get the following stuff needed to start using HIC Compression.

Top cap
1 Star nut and Bolt
Aluminum HIC Shim

So with all of that stuff INCLUDED with your bars, I’d say it’s time to ditch the old ICS, and go with HIC.

Normally when you start riding 3 Piece Bars, you really feel the difference from T bars…but when I got my Scepters set up, it gave a whole new feel that I haven’t felt from T Bars, or other 3 Piece Bars. The backsweep might not be everyone’s favorite thing at first, but I think if you give it a chance and take the short amount of time it takes to adjust, you will start to like it. I took the bars to my local park, to flow around for a bit, and let some of the locals try them out…there were a couple bails, where the scooter went flying, and took a few slams on the crossbar, with no signs of bending at all. Which considering the light weight of the bars, shocked me. Everyone who rode them, was asking where to get them shortly after haha.

Overall, I love these bars. I have loved the concept of 3 Piece Bars ever since I saw them for the first time, and TSI only helped further my admiration for them. They’re strong, they’re light, and they’re designed for HIC…that’s a Win, Win, Win. Priced at 84.99usd these aren’t the cheapest bars out there, but for what you’re getting (all parts needed for HIC) you are getting a deal here. So with that being said, let’s take a final look at the Pro’s and Con’s of the TSI Scepter Bars.

PROS
Light
Strong
HIC Compatible (also fits SCS)
Great Stem design

CONS
Maybe too light for some riders
Backsweep Crossbar might not be everyones favorite

Thom Cat Forks

So without my knowledge, when I popped open my package from TSI, I was shocked to see a Thom Cat Fork in there staring up at me. Ever since I saw these forks a while ago, I thought they looked pretty awesome. So I was stoked at the chance to try some of them out. Here’s my thoughts on the Thom Cat Forks.

Visually, you won’t really find any other forks on the market that resemble these forks. It’s clear that when Matt of TSI designed these forks(who you can see to the left), he wasn’t looking to any previous forks for motivation…it came from his head…and considering TSI’s other products, I think it’s safe to say that’s a good place for ideas to come from. If you check the picture you will see what I mean. When I first got the fork, I took it down to my local bike shop where some friends work, and the owner of that shop happened to be in there, he was in complete amazement at the Thom Cat Forks. Taking them from me, and analyzing them for a good five minutes haha.

Onto performance and feel. These forks have 7.5mm offset, now for those used to stock forks and other aftermarket forks with offset, most of those are at 10mm offset. So it will have a bit of a different feel. I’ve rode everything from stock 10mm offset, to Zero offset, to now Thom Cat Forks, 7.5mm offset. I think it’s safe to say that unless you do a LOT of nosemanual tricks, it won’t take you too long to get used to the slight difference. Weight wise, they can be considered slightly heavy compared to what you’re riding now. But that slight weight gain on your scooter is for a good cause. That being the strength of these forks. To this day, there is no record of anyone bending a Thom Cat Fork. They really are THAT strong and that solid.

Another thing I wanted people to notice about the Thom Cat Fork that might be overlooked, but certainly shouldn’t be ignored. Is the Axel design. When you get your Thom Cat Fork it will come with the Fork, and a bolt axel. Although one of the smaller parts of the fork, it is one of my favorites. Basically on the bottom of your fork legs, where you put the axel through, one side will be threaded. All you do is get your wheel on, insert the axel, and simply tighten it right into the fork itself. It tightens up perfectly, not too tight and not too lose leaving your wheel to spin freely. Really smart idea if you ask me. At 80.00usd these are right around the range if not cheaper than some other forks on the market. So let’s break down the Pros and the Cons of the Thom Cat Fork.

PROS
Innovative Design
Extremely Durable and Strong
Great Axel Design
90 Day Bend/Break/Cracks Warranty

CONS
Only comes in Black
No option for threaded (Get with the times people, it’s time to try threadless!)


So that basically covers my reviews and in depth looks on the TSI Scepter Bars, and the Thom Cat Forks. TSI is not just about decks guys, I really think people gotta take notice to their other parts as well. They are not making the same old same old parts you see other companies putting out at a rapid rate. TSI is staying as innovative as possible with every new product they release, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. I know that because the two people running TSI, Matt and KC are dedicated to this SPORT. Not to the money that goes into their pockets, but to the sport. So if you are interested in getting some of high quality parts for a good price then click the link below, and head over to TSI’s website. And for all your future news on TSI, and all updates and breaking news in the sport of scootering..Keep checking Inside-Scooters.

Justin Robertson Interview.

Justin Robertson is a name that's gotten more and more recognized over the past year. Justin really hit the scene last year, releasing banger video after banger video during the spring. It was after that when people started to get a little tired of his frequent videos, and he took their advice and took the whole summer to film his next mini. The extra time definitely paid off for him, as this video was filled with huge street bangers, ridiculous tech combos, and an improved style. Justin was sponsored by Dogg and later picked up by Quebec Scooters, which his latest video is promoting. I asked Justin a few questions about his latest video, and this is what he had to say.

Jordan Jasa: First of all that video was ridic, you never seem to fail to make me feel like I suck haha. How do you manage to get some of the biggest street bangers yet completely destroy tech tricks?

Justin Robertson: Thanks man. Not gonna lie I usually feel the same way after you drop a new vid too haha. When it comes to street I guess I'm just dumb enough and pretty much willing to try anything and sesh anything when I'm in the mood for it. For the tech stuff I've been working a lot on it lately. I haven't been riding as much street cause I always break my decks so I've been more into tech and park tricks lately. Just recently it seems like tech got a whole lot easier for me and I've been learning new combos like crazy, just working on getting them dialed now. Some tricks in that video I'm not even sure how I managed to do though haha.

Before you film a video, do you know what tricks you wanna get, or do you just film as you go?

I usually have a list of tricks I want to accomplish before hand. By the time I finish my video though I usually only did like 3 of those tricks. Then like 75% are just random tricks I came up with at the time and the other bit are tricks i one up'ed from what I wanted.

What was the hardest thing for you to film in this video?

Hmm, to be honest it was probably one of the smaller things. I'd say the bar to manual to around the world drop in on the quarter. For some reason I just remember that taking me forever to finally get haha everytime I went to do the around the world I'd keep spinning so I'd end up dropping in like sideways/to fakie, I just couldn't get it to work out right.

Do you find tech or big riding more difficult than the other, or are they the same for you?

Tech tricks are by far more difficult for me, I can do quite a range of things but I don't have a lot of them on lock. Big riding's just natural to me, seems like I can throw anything down like a big set or something and get it first or second try pretty much. With tech it usually takes me a lot longer, I've been working on smaller stuff a lot more recently though and I've been getting a lot more on lock and more consistent but still not quite as consistent as I'd like to be with my tech game.

During the course of filming this video, how many parts did you break?

Since I barely rode any street I didn't break to much actually haha umm 2 decks, 1 wheel and I think that's it really. A lot better then usual haha.

I can't help but notice you don't have a fisheye. Whats the reason behind that?

I don't have a job so I don't have the money for it. Been trying to look for a job forever though so once I get one I'm hoping to upgrade my camera maybe, get a fish eye and tripod and stuff so things look a bit more legit.

And finally, what does it mean to you to finally put out this video after 3-4 months of filming?

It's a huge relief. I mean, last year I released 3 videos already by now and at the time they were each filled with bangers for my riding level then. All I kept thinking about was trying to make this video perfect to me and trying to get a little bit of everything, park, street, tech, creativity/originality and just trying to one up my other videos. And aside from not having a huge trick for my ender like my past 2 full videos I'm super pleased with this and happy it turned out how it did and that everyone's pretty psyched on it so far. Makes me wanna get started on filming my summer video already haha.


Thanks Justin,

And thank you for deciding to do this interview with me! I'd also like to thanks Lloyd from QCS for helping me out with some awesome parts and all my friends that filmed for me and motivated me to try certain things. Also thanks to everyone for the positive comments about the video!

And to help boost the growth of the sport in some of these areas that it isn’t as big. The Scooter Zone Team is all about interacting with the kids, because everyone involved in this event believes that these kids are the future of the sport, I couldn’t agree more myself.

Chris Gascoigne
Twan
Julio Oceguera
Capron Funk
Corey Funk
Nick Darger
Monkey

Justin Robertson QCS Spring Promo

Every once in a while you get a rider like Justin...started from nothing, and was absolutely not a rider you went out of your way to watch...to one of the hardest street riders in the sport, and now you get to him throwing down some ridiculous tech tricks as well. I don't know if Justin has any limits to what he can and can't do off his scooter.

And this weekend you can find out first hand what Justin has to say about the process of making this video, and some more stuff about his riding in an interview we'll be doing with Justin. Check the video below.

Ryan Upchurch & Jon Devrind Super 60

Ryan had troubles in editing, meaning he couldn't use our intro.
I have honestly never seen something so ridiculous.
Ryan's huge park tricks, contrast Jon's tech, and smaller park tricks perfectly.
What more to say?
Watch and enjoy the insanity that is Ryan Upchurch and Jon Devrind.

Milwaukee 4 Seasons Comp

Check ittt. If you live in the midwest then this is a must for you, there'll be some pros from around the country stopping by during the Transit 2 tour.

Luke Maff - Weekend Clips.

If there's one kid right now that never fails to dissapoint, it's Luke Maff.
There's ridiculous clips in here, and that first spot looks SO sick.
Mitchell Kelly also features in this edit, with some solid tech business.
Enjoy.

I'll never really care what sponsors these guys get because no matter what they'll always be the RAD crew to me. That being said, Tyler is now on MaddGear...every time he gets on his front wheel I get scared that hes going to do something I never thought possible haha.

Oh, and in case you had any doubts, Stan loves marijuana and beer. He clears that up at the end.

Dissidence Street Jam

Ok..not much can be said about this video. Just watching it will leave all your jaws on the ground. I think we know where the street riding capital of the world is now. It's Paris, France. This video shows probably the most organized street jam you'll ever see. We can only hope that Addict and Dissidence do this again next year, or even sooner. Check it out guys and check that list of sponsors at the end..cause they all def. helped make this possible.

So basically, what you see right now...is not Final. Sometime tomorrow we will work everything out. Thanks.

Inward Scooter's Zig Short: Everywhere We Go (A Gift and a Curse)

Inward rider Zig Short's latest video. Zig had some trouble with his knee this spring, which may explain why this video was more tech than his other videos...although there are some huge tricks in here, especially the banger haha...that was nuts. Loved all the rail stuff, and the legsweep was awesome.

Mike Montgomery Lucky Scooters First Clover DVD Promo/ Throwaway

Ricky Cox

This is a reader submitted video I got from an email...I don't usually post these but wow, kid impressed me. Nice mix of street, park, big, and tech. Loving his peg stuff.

On another note I think we may start having a little "Reader Video of the Week". Stay tuned for more on that.

Technical Difficulties..

So as you can see the IS Layout is still a little...off.
