Micro Makes a Comeback




Some would say you need to be pretty OG to know, and remember Micro. Don’t worry because that is changing soon with their new line of products, and an entire new Team to represent them in Europe, UK, AUS, and US. Micro is somewhat iconic and remembered in our sport mainly for the metal core wheels they made so many years ago. They were the first real metal core wheels that people started to really buy, despite their expensive price.. But we’ve come a long way since their wheels.

I’m sure some of you also remember their “one piece deck” with the neck tube that had to be bolted on? Which thinking back on now, was one of the first flat sided “box” decks on the market. It’s just a shame it was so heavy haha. The years passed, and the Micro Team faded away, or moved onto other companies, and it took a while, but Micro is back, and this time, they’re here to stay.

The Team has been recreated from the ground up. Not only that, but legend of the sport, BenJ Friant is back with Micro. BenJ spent some time with District, but after countless broken promises, and ridiculous amounts of money stolen from him, he made the decision to leave the company. To go along with the new Team, they have the new scooters, and they’re looking good. Micro will be in events all across the world, from Peru to Mexico, to the USA, and a European Tour. The Swiss company is back, and they intend to push Micro harder than ever.
Below you can check out some photos of the scooter, and also BenJ’s latest edit. It proves again that BenJ is one of the best in this sport, and now that he’s back with Micro we can all expect to see him continue to kill it.

  4. Such a bad move on their part to have five people on the US team, and all of them from the west coast.
