PROTO - Reincarnate 2017

PROTO - Reincarnate 2017 from Proto Scooters on Vimeo.

Proto's follow-up to Armageddon 2012 recently dropped. A quick comparison between the full-lengths shows a few stark differences- namely, roster changes. A new wave of flow riders (plus Matt McKeen) have risen in the ranks, producing full parts to replace those who've moved on. Sometimes when teams gain/lose riders, it completely switches up the feel of the company and their videos. Not here. Proto feels like Proto; the rugged, honest, and OG scooter company we've all come to know and love throughout the years.

The riding in this video is spot on. Creativity, technicality, heaviness, and style abounds. From Kirk Svensson's opening section, attacking hubbas, nose manualing (front firecrackering?) down sets, to McKeen continuing to set the bar on what street scootering can be, and how good it can look, to Parrish Isaacs redefining what's even possible to do on a scooter, and finally, to Zack Martin showing how well rounded one can be, matching every monster gap or rail he hits with an equally impressive nose manual combo. For sure, everybody brought something new to the table.

One of the highlights for me was Brandon Kilbury's section. Turns out this is his last as a Proto rider, and he made it count. His front scooterflips have been iconic to me for 10 years now; seeing a manual front scooterflip again made it come full circle. Congrats to him for killing it while being a goddamn rocket scientist, he gives hope to graduated scooter riders everywhere.

It's hard to talk about full-lengths without bringing up the fact how nuts it is that people are still filming them. Each of these dudes are spending hundreds, even thousands of their own dollars to buy cameras, tapes, travel, etc, (not to mention opportunity cost of not being able to actually work) just for the purpose of getting clips. All without the expectation of getting reimbursed in any significant way. In other words, if you like this sort of content- real, meaningful, gnarly scootering- please support the people behind it. Companies are never making a profit off of feature videos- most will lose money, but they do it because it is a labor of love. As time goes on, it gets harder and harder to justify making videos like this. But remembering where your dollar goes when buying new scooter parts can help.

So is this the last Proto full-length video? The trilogy is finished now, after all. And trilogy remakes are never good (Damn you, Andrew Garfield). What's next? Will they finally turn Parrish pro? Will we see Jake ever make a vlog 7? I think it's safe to say that Proto will keep fighting the good fight, whatever that means in the year 2018 and beyond.

Friendly LUX Review

Royce with a death defying doublewhip..

Nearly four years after dropping the first teaser to their full-length video “LUX,” the OG crew out of Australia has finally finished the project and released it to the public via a $4.95 (AUS) digital download.  As you could imagine during those four years, quite a lot of hype had been built, although it did taper off towards the end.  But they did it.  A full-length homie video with no company backing is quite an achievement.  Despite numerous setbacks, Friendly managed to do what many said wouldn’t be done.  After viewing it a couple times, here are my thoughts.

Riding:

The riding in a video is typically the benchmark most people use to measure how good (or bad) a video is.  As with pretty much any full-length, LUX has already received negative comments due to people who are: (A) desensitized to rad scootering because of the amount of amazing videos that come out on the web every day; (B) not aware what good riding is, because of the amount of bad scootering they see every day that is passed off as “good”, or (C) not aware that LUX was a homie video and never proclaimed itself to have next level riding.  Context is everything.

That being said, most of the sections were super sick.  Aaron Bransdon starts the video off with a bang, with some of the best straight hop style I’ve ever seen.  High speed lines, smith grinds, and a David Bowie soundtrack to top it off makes for a really enjoyable section.  I won’t go through the rest of everyone, but it definitely shows that these guys worked their asses off for this video.  Lots of creativity from guys like Mark Abbott, power from Alex Collins (don’t miss the switch either) and of course style from the few clips Jackson Manzie was able to contribute.  Jon Archer also kills it with a raw style unmatched by anyone in scootering, a great sequel to his Tilt part.  And I have to mention the last three guys- Luke Maffesoni, Royce King, and Kevin Austin.  Luke throws some of the wildest tricks you never see in a street video- cannonball to fakie, 180 briflip to fakie, bar bri on a hip, the list goes on.  We’re used to seeing Royce send it over huge gaps in the parks, and he shows no fear in sending it to flat on the streets- huge rails, wallrides, and he shows his transition skills in a few clips as well.  Finally, Kevin completely shuts it down.  The ease of which he does some of the most difficult tricks is seriously mindblowing.  Everything he does is so clean and nonchalant.  One of the top video parts of the year, easily.

Filming:  

So as this was a homie video filmed over five years, the filming isn’t always uniform.  Sean Furze handled most of the filming with Kevin and Jackson, and the rest of the crew contributing.  So we do see footage from a few different cameras, as well as some shakiness and dirty lens clips…but generally the filming was at, if not above the standard level of SD filming in scootering.   I’ve always thought that if you don’t notice it, the filming was good, and so I was only distracted during LUX by those couple outlier clips.  Another big part of filming is making sure you’re filming not only during the trick, but before and after.  These guys did a good job getting the shenanigans of street riding with your friends on video, which I’ll touch on again in the next section of this review.

Editing:  

Sean Furze also took care of the editing for LUX.  He kept it fairly simple for the most part, using a big bold block font for the titles, and without using any distracting b-roll.  The b-roll is mostly, as I touched on earlier, all the other action that happens apart from the tricks themselves, which is awesome to see.  The music choice is fairly conservative, with a mix of mainly classic and indie rock on top of some jazzy/psychedelic tunes...I do feel like they could have branched out a little more as far as the soundtrack goes (there's no way I haven't heard that Hendrix track in a video before).  So nothing too crazy as far as editing goes, just raw and simple, which fits the SD genre best in my eyes.

The crew runs deep.

Overall:

Friendly is selling LUX as a digital download for five bucks a pop.  At that price, there’s really no excuse not to buy it.  These dudes worked hard to make an awesome video for the scooter community.  Some of the best riders in the world are featured, and to see riders like that come together for a crew video is rare, especially when several do have sponsors.  The proceeds will be going toward further exploring Australia to film for more projects, so it is a good cause all around.

Bottom line:  If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re blowing it.  Get a digital copy at http://www.friendlybrand.net/lux.  A hard copy should be available soon for those diehard fans.

New Fuzion Z400

Well, since Fuzion hit the scene it has been pretty hard to take them seriously. From the four wheeled scooters, to the plastic deck scooters.. Well they're back and their newest model looks easily better than the previous models before it. That's not to say it doesn't have some strange features. One of them being, wait for it, integrated front and back pegs?? For more information see the photo below, and if you want to see how it performs, watch the Scooter check/Review below that from two Nor Cal Fuzion riders.

They had the scooter available to test ride at the Epic Comp this past weekend. I wonder if anyone rode it and can post some feedback ?

Raptor Grips Review

In a sport where we are constantly going to another sport (Bmx) to get certain products, it is good to see that some companies are starting to attempt to change that, by creating these products themselves. Though, to be honest, most of the time, despite the fact that scooter companies make these parts, we find ourselves going back to the Bmx brands who have been making them longer. Well that might be changing here with Raptor.


Raptor is under the same parent company as Elyts, 841, and AO, which all makes different products. Raptor makes grips, and not just any grips. They are the first company that made grips specifically made for scooter riders. I recently had a chance to get my hands on these grips (no pun intended) and here are my initial thoughts, on Raptor Grips.

I spent about a week with each grip installed on my bars. The first I installed were the Scale Grips you see below. At the first feel of the grips you realize immediately how soft they are. You probably figure they are going to wear out really fast, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Because Raptor actually has 1.5mm more thickness than your average grip.

I slid them on without much issue, and they felt pretty good. Also, the bar ends are not your normal push in plugs that most riders use. These actually screw right in using an allen key, so that was pretty cool, and definitely kept them in nice and snug. After riding them for a week I got really into how thick they were, it really did help with shock absorption, which is something Raptor wanted to do. They did a feel a bit short to me though, but I do have pretty big hands. Also if your hands sweat, you won’t have too much of a problem, but you might slip a bit.


That following Monday, I put on the Claw Grips that you see below. You’ll first notice the design of the grips themselves. At first grab once they are on the bars, they might feel a bit strange. But keep riding for a while, and you’ll get used to them really quick, to the point where they actually feel really comfortable. They feel like they truly begin to contort to your hands. They also feel like they have a bit more grip than the Scale Grips.

After riding them for 3-4 days, I realized that I preferred these grips over the Scale. They feel thinner than the Scale grips, and for some riders that’s what they prefer. There was also how grippy they were, which felt perfect. Despite them feeling thinner, after the week was up there was little to no wear and tear on the grips. Keep in mind I do have pretty rough hands, and can eat through Animal Edwins with ease. So this was a welcome surprise.

Overall with Raptor grips, I was pleased. I would like to see a couple more colors though. As you can see from the picture, there is no White or Blue grip. I’d also like to see them make the grips a little bit longer. When you have a longer grip you can always cut it down to size. But having a shorter grip leaves riders that prefer a longer grip with only one option, and that is to go back to a Bmx brand. If you want to get yourself a pair of Raptor Grips, head over to your local scooter parts dealer or website and see if they got them for sale. If not, request them!


Below are some following specs on Raptor Grips, as well as my boy Cory Vanlew talking about Raptor.


Colors:

black, orange, red, purple, green, yellow

ShopECX.com Sacrifice Deck Review

Sacrifice has been making a name for themselves in the USA ever since they picked up Hunter Bechtle who has been on a non stop rise since joining up with the company. I would like to think some of the reason behind this, is because of the Sacrifice Vader Deck. Well ShopECX recently got them in, and Mike did an in depth review of the deck. Check it out below.

Lucky Scooters: First Clover DVD Review.

So I finally got my copy of the Lucky DVD recently and watched it a few times. I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't quite as good as I'd thought it would be...but it definitely wasn't bad by any means. I'm gonna be nitpicking with a lot of this but don't let that stop you from buying the DVD. Lucky is a legit company and the team worked super hard on the video.

The DVD opens up with an all slomo'd montage of everyone....the slow mo gets a little boring after a while but then James Gee's part comes up. James is definitely a boss, but the whole part felt off to me because of the music choice. Usually in Lucky videos they use rap, but James was some mellow song that I felt didn't fit at all.

Overall the video used a lot of songs that I didn't think fit, or that were already used...I think there was only one rap song, in Evan Yamada's section, which worked all right but not amazingly. There were two or three songs in there that were already used, which REALLY bothers me in videos. I think next time Lucky makes a video, they should stick to using rap, I've gotten used to them using rap and it just feels more legit when they use it.

Riding wise, the video is very entertaining. The Lucky team def kills it. Butttt I kinda felt like I was seeing the same thing over and over again...360 whip, briflip, smith combo, repeat. The split sections did mix it up, Tyler and Stefan have fresh parts. I've gotta say though, from the teasers I expected more. The teasers gave away nearly all of the bangers, which is rather disappointing.

As far as filming and editing goes, I think they did a decent job. There's some clips with a dirty lens, or where the sunshade is showing, steadyshot on with a fish, etc., but then you gotta remember that this is a scooter DVD...a company's first DVD isn't going to be perfect. These guys aren't professional filmers, so it doesn't look quite like a skate or bmx DVD. There were a few different filmers, who use different cameras so some clips look a little different (especially Callum Batty and Gage Casal's part, which was all HD footage). Most of it was filmed with a VX. Now a VX films standard definition, or 720x480 lines of resolution with a 4:3 ratio, but it looks widescreen (16:9) because they upres'd it to HD, which is something you never see with BMX/skate videos. But keep in mind, this isn't a BMX/skate video, its a scooter video, and honestly the level of filming of our sport isn't quite up to BMX/skate standards. So IMO they did a pretty good job of getting the riding on film, there weren't any cut off heads and for the most part they weren't shaky.

So overall I think there are definitely some things that Lucky could have improved on. Now I'm not saying this to bash on the team, as a first video it's good, but hopefully they can take my input and make their next video even better. Even with just different songs, the video would have been 10x better for me. I'm def looking forward to the next Lucky DVD, I know I'll be getting a copy of my own.

Tilt Chromos Pegs Review

First off, the pegs come with everything you see in the above picture, which is everything you need to install the pegs (besides tools).

Basic stats on these include:

-Heat Treated 4140 chromoly
-1” by 2” (or 25mm by 51mm)
-Black Oxide finish
-2.4 oz each
-Hardened axles
-Nylon locking nuts

Installing the pegs is pretty simple.  The package includes a bolt for the front and back, but you can put both pegs on either wheel.  However you may need to find a longer axle to make it work.  The hardware fits right inside the peg, giving it a really nice, clean look.  The tapered ends of the pegs mean they can fit forks like the Inward Hybrid, French ID, ScooterZone Scorcher, and more. 

So the tapered end means it can fit more forks/decks, while still retaining a one inch diameter, which is bigger than that of the Park Pegs.  It also means that the bottom of the peg and deck are flush, which gives you more control during grinds and stalls.

I definitely noticed the weight once I put the pegs on.  It was a little odd at first but I got used to it in a jiffy, wasn’t a problem at all.  Thats just the tradeoff you get with the most durable pegs on the market. 

Being made out of chromoly instead of aluminum, these pegs do slide rather slower than the Park pegs.  However, if whatever you’re grinding is waxed enough, it shouldn’t be a problem.  The big advantage to the Chromos over the Park pegs is the durability.  These things are heat treated, and come with heat treated axles, combine them together and you have the strongest peg setup you can get. 

With these pegs, you can run two on one wheel, or four all together, which definitely opens up a lot of options for tricks.  I decided to run two on the front, and left my Park peg in the back.  However, I’ve been running a prototype fork and used a stock back axle with it, and actually broke two axles in the span of two days with em.  Buttt that definitely wouldn’t have happened if I was using the axle Tilt provides.

These pegs are definitely a good buy if you want something longer lasting than alu pegs.  These are super strong, and will definitely last you a long time.  You can buy them on the Tilt website.

Inside Scooters TSI One Piece Deck Review

Recently I was sent a TSI 4.5 Deck, to ride and review. There has been a LOT of hype about these decks. Considering they are one of the first one piece decks to be released to the public for sale. It was easy to see why. I did not however receive this deck directly from TSI. It was sent to me from Inward Scooters, who installed deck pins in the deck for me to also review. So this review will be on the TSI 4.5 size One Piece Deck + Deck Pins.


The first thing I noticed when I got my TSI was that there were no instructions of any kind on how to put the deck together. Now for myself, that wasn't really a problem, since I am pretty good at assembling things like that. However, for younger riders, or less experienced riders, I think some instructions would help. A simple printed out piece of paper with step by step instructions should do the trick. Putting the TSI together was a fairly easy task, if you got a basic set of tools you should be fine, some allen keys will be the main tool you will use to install the deck plate onto the frame. The back axel that comes with the TSI has been difficult for other riders to install, because of the lack of space to tighten the nut onto the bolt that comes with the TSI. This can be solved by using a back wheel axel from a Pro Model, or B Model, and using some spacers. I found it a lot easier to use this, instead of the bolt and nut provided with the TSI. When you buy a TSI One Piece Deck from Inward Scooters.com, they include the Pro Model Back Axel, for the easy installation. Once you have your deck put together, get your forks, bars, and wheels on, and you're ready to go ride.


So I went outfront to ride the beast...I soon noticed I wasn't just going to be riding it... I had to tame this beast of a scooter! Tame what you ask? The headtube angle. This is the TSI Headtube angle compared to a Pro model angle

This might be an issue for most riders that are used to an angle that isn't as steep or high. Having rode scooters for over 8 years, the basics when I go out and ride consist of things like; tailwhips, double tailwhips, tripple tailwhips, and fingerwhips are all tricks that come pretty easy on flat with my old pro model. This was not the case on my TSI. Even tailwhips took a couple tries before I figured out how to deal with the headtube angle. Shortly after that I had doubles back but without the catch I'm used to with my double tailwhips on my old Pro. Overall, I think whipping the scooter at all will take some time for any rider to get used to, that is, if they are coming from a stock angle Pro Model/Other Scooter. Second day riding the TSI 4.5, I had no problems catching double whips on flat or anything, everything starts to just feel natural again. So for all future buyers of the TSI deck, if you get discouraged early on riding your TSI because of the headtube angle, just keep riding it, it will soon start to feel natural. Also I noticed almost no change in weight coming from a Pro Model with a Dominator Deck Saver, so I wouldn't worry about the weight of the TSI deck at all. It is a much more solid ride, and with the strength of the deck, you just feel really comfortable on it. For a rider of my size, being 6'4 the 4.5 deck was amazing. That small bit of extra foot room, goes a long way.


Now on to the deckpins that were installed on my deck. I first saw deck pins on fellow rider Alex Steadman's Pro Model a few years back.

Alex Steadman's old scooter that you can see the deck pins installed in.

I was always interested in them, because I heard they added a LOT of grip to your deck. So when Inward Scooters asked me to review the deck pins installed on a TSI for him, because he had been getting requests for them, I agreed to do so. My first impression of them, was that they really do add a lot of grip. However, I think for some riders it might just be too much grippiness. For riders that tend to shift their feet before tricks like a lot of riders do. You might not like these deck pins on your scooter. Because they make shifting your feet pretty difficult, due to the fact that they add THAT much grip. Most riders shift their feet, even if it is slightly, before doing whip tricks. So if you are a rider who does a lot of whips, scooter flips, or bri flips..deck pins might not be for you. Although, I think a lot of park riders would possibly really like these. Riders like Dan Holm or Stan Smirnoff, who are some of the best big box, and tranny riders might find these useful. The grippiness that they add make you feel a bit more comfortable if you are just flowing a park or riding with a lot of speed because you get a feel that your feet won't be slipping off at all.

Overall, I am really happy with the TSI 4.5. I don't see myself going to back to Pro Models anytime soon. With this deck, TSI might have very well opened the new big door to aftermarket scooter parts. It has been known for awhile that a few other companies are planning and already designing their own one piece decks. I'd like to wish them all good luck...because the quality, design, and company behind the TSI One Piece Deck, has set the bar pretty high.

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.

Micro XT Written Reviews

After having the Micro XT for a couple weeks now, Steven and I wrote some reviews on the new scooter from Micro.
_________________________________________________________

Recently, I received a Micro XT (Old style not New one) to test, ride, and review for Inside-Scooters Blog.

When you get the XT it comes in a box including all the tools you will need to assemble the scooter. Which for the record doesnt take any more than 10 minutes if you have experience working on scooters before hand. After getting it all set up the first thing I noticed was the weight of the scooter. It is quite heavy, and it is most certainly not for the "weight freaks". The steep angle of the headtube is also something that takes a while to get used to. Both of my grips did get throttle grip, however this is a problem that has been looked into already by Micro and will be fixed in the near future. The next thing I noticed while riding the XT was how smooth and solid it felt. The XT 100mm metal cores that come on the XT seem to be loved by some riders, and hated by others. Some say that they dehub too easily, others have been riding them for long periods of time with no problems at all. However they are the fastest 100mm wheels Ive rode. I adapted pretty quickly to the angle of the headtube, and the weight of the scooter, and was landing flat double tailwhips with the XT in no time. With some time, and with an easier price for US riders to work with, I can see the Old XT's popularity getting bigger in the US. Below are the Pros and Cons of the Micro XT.



Pros:

Easy to put together
Solid and very Smooth
Fast 100mm Metal cores
Gnarly Full Deck Griptape

Cons:

Heavy Deck
Steep headtube angle/Weak headtube known to crack
Small grips that get "throttle grip" after time
Top cup on headset seems to loosen up a bit after riding




Review done by Inside-Scooters Head Writer
Steven Tongson
_____________________________________________________________

And now mine (video review can be viewed here):

After riding the XT for a few days, the throttle grip got bad enough that I was forced to put my Inward bars on. I had a lil problem with that, the forktube was too long for the fork to go all the way down, so I used a double clamp as a spacer until I used a hacksaw to cut the forktube down.

The scooter remained very solid throughout riding, the first few days. However, the headtube's top cup is actually like a double cup, I'll try to post pictures later. Anyway, the top part of this double cup gets loose, and the headset shakes, even if its tight. If you do tighten it enough so it doesn't shake, it will barely spin, which is something that, as a tech rider, you don't want.

I pretty much gave up trying a lot of whip stuff because of the weight of the deck. It definitely isn't for people used to riding light decks, and doing a lot of whips. I can riders having trouble with scooterflips too, although it can add momentum to make them easier. It really depends on the type of flip, and obstacle you're doing it on.

For tricks like hang fives, nose manuals, and sliders, this is a great scooter. The zero offset fork and high headtube angle makes nose manuals a breeze. It may take a little getting used to for hang fives, but you should adjust to the lack of folding mechanism in a day or so. The wheels have plenty urethane, so you don't have to worry about wearing down your wheels for a long time.

Pros:
Fast, solid, smooth
Good wheels
Thick forktube
Can easily exchange the stock 13 wide crossbar for longer ones
Full deck griptape
Thick steertube
Quadruple clamp (2 double clamps)
No annoying lever and clamp to hit your knee on on the bars

Cons:
Heavy
High headtube angle
Threaded fork
Steertube has 2 slits
Cost (340ish USD)
Unnecessarily thick brake

RECAP: If you like doing small tech tricks, involving a lot of bars and whips, this is probably not the scooter for you. The headtube angle and weight makes things harder than they should be. If you like to go big, fast, and just cruise, this would make a great scooter. However, at the price it is at right now, I don't believe it is worth it. Should the price drop, and a few changes be made, I could see this becoming a viable alternative to the Razor Pro Model.

YAK SKAT metalcore wheel review

So I've had my yak metalcore for a few weeks now (thanks Tdadd). Here the review, as a front wheel.

First impression: whoa, they're skinny. the core looks nice, thinner than what you would see on Eaglesports but then again they are half the price of one. Putting the bearings in was easy, the little plastic sleeves let em really nicely.

Its a pretty good wheel for speed. It has 88a durometer, meaning its pretty hard and fast. But that also makes it a little slippery on wet surfaces.

This wheel is amazing for sliders, backwards and frontwards. I was never amazing at front sliders but with this wheel, it makes them really fun and easy. Same with back sliders. It hasn't chunked out or anything either.

It seems to be holding up pretty well during kicker riding. I haven't gotten to ride my kickers a whole lot, but the urethane seems decent. The bad thing about the urethane is that there isn't very much of it.

Beware of riding one on the back though, there have been a few people having the bearing sleeves break.

Pros:
Fast
Good for sliders
Cheap (cheapest metalcore out there)
Easy to get bearings in and out

Cons:
Thin urethane
Slippery
Bearing sleeve can break

So overall, its a great front wheel. You really can't beat the value, at about 11 or 12 dollars per wheel. You can get them from a variety of dealers, including Sky High Scooters. You can find their link to the right>>>.
