ECX Helix Stubby Pegs Review by Andy Bradford

Andy is a true OG of the sport, and one of his sponsors is ShopECX.com. He recently got a pair of their new Helix Stubby Pegs, and was able to knock out this review. Not too sure about that name, haha. But the Pegs seemed to run ok. Stoked that Andy will be running pegs now too. Also loving the shout out to Stevon.

Magray Scooter Co Video Update #5





Got an update for you guys from Magray Scooter Co. I have so much respect for Eric Magray, and his company. This is one of the very very few companies in our sport today, that is rider owned and operated..Which sadly, we don't have enough of in our sport. They discuss the pegs, the new brake coming soon, and Ryan Becker who took a harsh slam recently, and is still in the hospital. The disucssion is followed up by some throw away clips from the guys. Check out the video below.

Peg Tech



Collin over at Tilt sent this over to me to post, great tutorial on installation of pegs.  Check it out:

It seems like every day we get a question about running four pegs or putting pegs on with a spacer. Hopefully this article will clear things up. What you need:

Start off with a set of Park or Chromo pegs. In this article, I will be using a set of Park pegs.










The best way to put pegs on requires a ratchet, 13mm or 1/2″ deep well socket, and a 6mm hex key. A normal wrench will work, but a socket is better as described below.











All Tilt pegs are designed to have the ‘nut end’ of the hardware tighten inside of the peg. Put the bolt through from the opposite side you want the peg on, put the peg on the other side, and then tighten the nut inside of the peg using the deep well socket. The result should look something like this:








































Since the ‘nut end’ of the hardware fits inside of the peg, pegs can be easily used on both sides of the deck/fork. Only a longer axle is necessary to use pegs on both sides. I used a back axle on the front and got this result:
















To allow pegs to fit on an Madd deck and other components, Tilt now includes a spacer with each set of pegs. The spacer fits between the deck/fork and the peg.
















Thanks to Inward Scooters for supplying the Madd deck - www.inward-scooters.com

Josh Toy Razor Video


Josh Toy doin it big (and tech) for Razor. You always know you're in for a treat when Mr. Toy drops a new video, and this one isn't any different. I'm diggin the grind switchups, you never see those being done. And that manual on top of the box at the end is huge. Reminds me of one that Josh Young did in Transit 2 at Whitewater. Coincidentally, both Joshs' ride Tilt pegs. And both kill them.

Tyler Bonner Peg Clips

Tyler Bonner- Peg Clips from RadCrew on Vimeo.


Here's some raw clips Tyler filmed for Tilt. What else can you say about Tyler...he completely rapes riding in general, and now that includes pegs. 270 bar over ice 270 in...madness. And of course he throws in some ridiculous 630 combos in the video too. I definitely can't wait to see more peg clips from him.

Tilt Park Pegs Review

Tilt Review from Jordan on Vimeo.



Intro by Sam Short. After reviewing the pegs I asked the company owner, Collin Snoek, and 18 year old college freshman, a few questions about Tilt.

Jordan Jasa: What city is Tilt based in?

Collin Snoek: Grand Rapids, MI

Why/What cause you to start Tilt?

I loved riding my scoot, but Razor parts kept breaking on me. I also saw the need of other riders for quality scooter parts. On top of those, I simply enjoy designing and producing parts.

How did you first pick people for the team?

I'm not sure if I even picked the first few people for the team. They just kept bugging me until I sent them parts.

Whats the process like from the first drawings of a peg, to the final product?

Perhaps the biggest part of the design process is finding what other riders want. For example, about two months ago, Mario Rocchio and several other riders were bugging me for steel, 1" diameter pegs. I am now releasing heat-treated 4140 steel pegs next week. In addition to riders testing parts, I do a good amount of testing such as breaking parts and material verification.

Do you have plans for any other products?

Next week I am releasing the steel pegs. Following the new pegs, I am releasing a series of one-piece machined forks. I have a few other products I'm planning to release before summer, but I don't want to make any promises.


Collin also wanted me to add that he's looking for more riders to sponsor...I know theres no shortage of riders trying to picked up by companies, so send in your videos kids. Also be sure to check out the Tilt FB Fan page.

SOA Razor Pro Scooter Peg Review

So, first off, the peg set includes what you see in the above picture, plus 2 washers which aren't in the picture. The pegs themselves are basically a solid tube welded to a threaded bolt that serves as an axle for your wheel. Putting them on your scooter was pretty easy. All you have to do is take out your original axles/bolts, and put the peg through like its the normal axle. Then you put on the washer and tighten up the nut. It was a little difficult to get it properly tight.


Front peg on the Inward Zero Offset fork. I had to find some spacers for the nut to clear the walls of the fork legs.

Back peg.

Riding the pegs were pretty fun. Toothpicks on my razor punk rail were a breeze. But, being used to doing 50-50s and icepicks on the dropouts, I didn't really find that they helped with those tricks. But if you haven't learned them without pegs, then I'm sure you could with them.

Even though I never use the back peg for grinds, I still kept it on. Its a nice sort of deck extension, to help keep your foot on if you're riding ski, which I do when just pushing. Speaking of pushing, I did have to get used to putting my foot out farther when kicking. Catching your shoe on a peg is not fun at all. But after awhile it became natural, and not a problem at all.

Grinding ledges was...Well, you have to make sure the ledge is waxed up, otherwise they won't slide at all. But when you do have a waxed ledge, smiths are pretty fun. The pegs seemed to kinda wear down fast though. I only used them a few days before the front peg started wearing down. Its like it has a flat spot. Grinding ledges also made the front peg loose. A bit of threadlock could easily solve that problem though.

One thing I didn't like about them was how skinny they are. It made my peg hang fives feel a bit awkward, but I got used to it.

Pros:
-Light
-Easy to put on
-Do their job

Cons:
-Get loose pretty easily
-Thin
-Wear down easily
-Back peg sticks out

Overall, I would give these pegs a 4 out of 5 stars. They're fun for flat stuff, smiths, and rail tricks. They have a few negatives that you can get used to, or easily fix. They are pretty decent pegs, and I would recommend them. You can buy them on the SOA website. An additional review can be viewed here.
