Happy Birthday IS!

Three days ago (the 17th) was the 1 year anniversary of the first post on Inside Scooters! We've gone a long ways since then, getting bigger than I ever thought we would. So, I'd like thank you, the reader. None of this is possible without you, so thanks! Free cake on Steven!

Inside Scooters on Facebook!

Yeah thats right, we finally broke down and made a Fan page on Facebook. Check it out, become a fan, and tell all your friends! Be sure to watch for updates daily.

Winners of the Inside Scooters Best of 2009 Awards!

So 2009 has been a big year for our sport. From the release of the first mass produced (which I say because the now defunct Cedar Scooters sold 5 decks) aftermarket decks, to the invention of the Standard Compression System, to the expansion of aftermarket wheel companies, this year sure has been big for the aftermarket parts industry. And then there were the competitions. Starting off with the 3rd annual San Diego comp, Cooter Con, and more, leading up to the very first Competition circuit, the Fuzion Raise the Gnar Tour. This was a five stop circuit of competitions that will come to a close this Saturday, at SD4. This year also marked a continuation of progression of riding as well. Tricks such as the Buttercup, Twizzler, 1080, fakie frontflip, and more were landed for the very first time. There were tons of videos displaying not only these new tricks, but more. BenJ Friant's snow scooter video was the first to display legitimate snow scooter riding. Coedie Donovan continued to amaze us with his MaddGear Pro edit. And of course, Matt McKeen's revised TPC Video Journal 9 part rocked not only the scooter world, but caused a ripple among the skate and BMX scenes. 2009 also brought along drama, inevitable among the online boards. Yet many riders were able to keep their online experience drama free. 2009 was a big year for the sport of freestyle scooter riding...a sport that will only continue to grow.

And now, without further ado, here are the winners of the 1st Annual Inside Scooters Best of Awards 2009-

Best Overall Rider: Coedie Donovan

Best Street Rider: Matt McKeen

Best Park Rider: Tyler Bonner

Best Video: Matt McKeen revised TPCVJ9 part

Best Company: Eaglesport


Congrats to all the winners and those who were nominated on behalf of Inside Scooters. Also we'd like to thank anyone and everyone who voted. I'd also like to thank everyone who has supported Inside Scooters in any way over the past year. Hope 2009 was a good year for you, and here's to 2010!

Aaron Bransdon Ipod Check

Among the interests of many Australians, in addition to kangaroo rodeos, shrimp on the barbie, and cussing, includes music. Aaron Bransdon, NSW, is no different. Aaron describes his taste in music as, "Everything and anything." Looking through his Ipod check seems to confirm this statement. Below is a list of the first 10 songs appearing on Aaron's Ipod when turned to shuffle.


Daddy Cool : Placebo - One of the rare, old school songs that would always be on the radio in the car when i was younger, almost one of those "grown up with this song"

Such Great Heights : The Postal Service - A song i have as a result from a brief Death Cab for Cutie infatuation. Turns out i used it for the South Coast '08 edit, first time i rode with Geordie Mac :)

Sweet Disposition : The Temper Trap - One of the newest bands i've started to listen to, extremely chill, Australian band. Everyone give them a listen, they're win.
Our last days of Children : Explosions in the sky - What's an ipod with quality instrumental music? Usually do homework, write, think, whatever listening to this music, always helps calm and ease me after whatever.

Float On - Modest Mouse : This song is pretty monumental really, my first foray into a band suggested to me in the SR music section, they really are quality.

In the water I am beautiful - City and Colour : Possibly my favorite solo act, Dallas Green, he is usually the lead singer for Alexisonfire, a hardcore (?) band, but this acoustic side project proves Genre crossing can be done, and done well.

Pressure - Lupe Fiasco ft. Jay-z : My favorite song presently, Lupe fiasco is a lyrical genius, and flows like nothing else. I've never seen anything in Jay-z, but i'm starting to grow accustomed to his style.

Mr Brightside - The Killers : A long time favorite of mine, love how easy this song is to sing along to.

Send me a postcard Darling - The shocking blue : This song essentially shows my love for European riding. Featured in Siign i believe, one of the greatest feature length videos released.

Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi ft. MGMT and ratatat : The greatest song left til last i guess. How you could get a better combination of artists into one song, i have no idea. Kid Cudi's flow, MGMT's harmony on top of a Ratatat beat, never ceases to amaze.

Domain Change!

insidescooters.blogspot.com is now inside-scooters.com! You no longer have to add the .blogspot to access the site. Awesome.

New Layout, Logo

As you can see if you are reading this, Inside-Scooters has recently undergone a change of layout. A sweet new logo was also made for us. Both layout and logo were made by our favorite scooter chick, Margaret! Thanks a lot :)

Also, I hope you guys like the logo...you might be seeing it somewhere else...cough*t-shirts*cough...ahem.

IS on Twitter?

Yep. I decided to get with the times and made the Inside Scooters Twitter account. There's probably no point in making an account but I was bored and figured it wouldn't hurt, especially since every other media outlet has one.

Tweet at me yo.

Cool stuff...

Bobby Vaughn drew this awesome banner for IS, thanks bobby!
IS also reached 10000 hits yesterday. Technically we made it earlier but I didn't get a hit counter up till February. Thanks for visiting the site everyone :)
