Through recent talks with Sam Short of Spain, he's come up with the idea of a "Collab Video DVD"
It gives some of the more unknown riders a chance to show off their skills. Normaly most of the people in the collab videos would'nt get a chance to be seen by the number of views their videos get. As well as that they just make kickass videos, just shows how tight the scooter comunity is, all comming together to make one great video/dvd.
Inside-Scooters wants to wish everyone that is attending the 3 day Woodward Scooter Camp good luck! I know there will be a LOT of new riders throwing down some new tricks that they learned at Woodward after this camp. This really is a huge break for our sport to be recognized and accepted by a place like Woodward. So to everyone that is attending GOOD LUCK. Ride hard but stay safe...and don't be surprised if you see me on the last day with a tape recorder in hand ready to get some interviews done with the campers and the Woodward staff about the 3 day camp.
Check it. Theres a whole lot of talking in French that I don't understand, but maybe you will. Having a "folding mech" on an aftermarket deck kinda undermines everything the industry has built today, but it could be good. After all, Razor Pros were good (before Razor decided to cheap out on em). The bars look pretty beefy (butted crossbar?) and so does the stem, but overall i think it looks really solid.
A lot of details were recently released about District. So let's take a closer look at what is soon to come from one of the most highly anticipated companies in the sport.
All the parts will be high quality painted using sublimation printing for all the logos and printing on the parts. What this means is that the print and logos will be in the actual coating, and not just on top of the coating.
All the District Decks will be sold with everything needed to ride it. It will be including:
- 2 Plastic protection pieces for the front of the deck - 1 Metal brake including the Flex pad - 1 Back axle and 4 steel spacers
The highly anticipated COMPLETE District Scooter, will no longer be coming with a threaded headset. But with a threadless headset, and an inverted compression system will be standard with it.
Also soon to come are District threadless headsets and new Rubber/TPI Grips will be used instead of foam. You can see the pictures below, although the color has not yet been decided on.
With every District Threadless fork sold, you will also get a special long allen key, that will be used for the inverted Compression system for District forks.
Also in the future, District bars will come with a starnut already installed to save the hassle of doing it yourself.
Soon the District LIGHT Decks will be available on the Market. These decks have a balance and weight that is on a level of it's own. Later on in the season District will be releasing it's heavy duty model. It will be slightly heavier than the Light deck, and will be aimed toward larger riders, or riders who are really tough on their scooters.
Below you can take a look at some of the possible designs that District will be using. Remember to keep checking IS for all updates on District.
Recently District Team Rider Cameron Ward got together and rode with Eagle-Sport Team Rider Tyler Wheeland...and heres some of the pics of Cam from the sesh.

It's widely known that MGP is one of the most legit companies in the industry today. It's becoming more and more evident day by day, with new scooters, web videos and now the second company to mass-produce a dvd of the sport.

This kid is definitely a huge up and comer. His second video to have featured on inside. His style reminds me so much of a bike, might have something to do with the video being uploaded on pinkbike. Smoothest combos/lines i've seen in a long time.
"The Super 60 is designed to test a rider's consistency, creativity and use of a space within a skatepark. Riders are given 60 minutes to film as many clips as they can, and turn this into a video showcasing their personal style and tricks."
For his Super 60, Javi Trepat decided to ride local street spots in his hometown of Barcelona, Spain. While the 17 year old is unknown to American riders, he has quite a lot of recognition in Europe, being sponsored by multiple companies, including Micro. He is a shredder for sure and it shows in his S60.
Filmed/edited by Ferran Grau Vega, and intro by Sam Short.
The intro, in English, is as follows: "Hi, I'm Javi Trepat, I'm seventeen and I live in Barcelona.I'm sponsored by Exode Wear, Micro Scooters, Toy Factory and CVK, and this video go specially for InsideScooters. Enjoy ;D"
After watching his video, I asked Javi a few questions. Keep in mind that English isn't his first language.
Jordan Jasa: Why did you choose to do your S60 on street?
Javi Trepat: I choose to do my S60 cauz i love ride and i thought it was time to start a new video. For me scooter is a big part of my life and film my life with the scooter for see how i make my style with scooter bigger is really important.
Who are some of your influences?
My biggest influences are my friends always, specially MX friends, they always are helping me and telling me why i should continue riding. They're another big part of my life. My girlfriend tells me sometimes why i do some sheets with scooter cauz in some big spoots i become some illness, but i know that she loves me and he makes that for help me...
What do you think of the scooter scene in Barcelona/Spain?
I have seen the completly evolution in Barcelona/Spain of the scooter freestyle. I think it has maken a big evolution becauz there's always someone better then other one and that makes bigger this Xtreme-Sport. So i think that the MX spain riders play here a big paper cauz people will not continue riding if we let of ride, they would be not motivated for continue riding... The street spoots in general maked me begining to ride cauz i saw there that i can make bigger my creativity and i saw that scooter was funny and interesting.

In less than 10 days, on Feb. 13th for the first time ever scooter riders will be allowed to take part in a 3 day camp at Woodward West, in Tehachapi California. The cost of going to the 3 day camp that will give participating riders a chance to ride the entire Woodward West facility is 325.00. BUT...one thing Woodward needs, is a Registered Nurse to be on hand for the 3 day camp. So if your mom or someone you know is a R.N. Registered Nurse and wants to work the 3 days at Woodward for the Scooter camp, you get to attend the camp FOR FREE. So if you know anyone that is a R.N. Registered Nurse and will be up for the job. Please email Kimberly Funk and let her know the details....her email is below.
Without a doubt one of the most talented riders on the East coast. Ryan is an amazing park rider, with flair triples in his bag of tricks, and has even been trying double backflips. Ryan is one of the few riders in the sport who is completely dedicated not only to his riding, but is also always repping his sponsors, ECX, Eagle-Sport, and District as much as he can. I recently caught up with Ryan to do the 4 W's.
Who Who is one rider you want to meet and sesh with in the future?
Ryan: One Person I've always wanted to ride with, that i haven't already, would have to be Benj Friant. He throws down harder then most people even realize. The kid is crazy, and seems like I could have a great time riding with him. Other than that, I'd like to ride with all the aussies. Especially the MGP team. All such good riders, and it'd be gnar just to ride with them for a day.
What What do you prefer riding, park or street?
Ryan: I prefer Park to be honest. I like park because i can just go so high, flow around, and just ride real smooth. Street is just as good to me though. I ride wilmington and a few other places around me all the time. I actually can't ride in the city anymore after being warned by a bike cop that I'm now in the system, and could be arrested at any given time from now on. But yea, I still prefer park :)
Where Where is your favorite spot to ride?
Ryan: My favorite spot to ride would have to be FDR skatepark in philly. A skatepark built by skaters in the dogtown days which I know ride on my scooter. Most of the riders there are insane although most arent riding scooters. They have their respect for me and I have my respect for them. It's all concrete with bowls, huge quarters, and some crazy rollers and vert walls. Best place I've ever ridden for sure.
Why Why do you continue to ride scooters today?
Ryan: The fun of the sport. If it wasn't fun then I wouldn't be riding as we speak. I've always enjoyed it from the time i hopped on a scooter. Ever since then my favorite part about it has just been flowin around and goin as big and high as i can. Although I have my tech side for me it's mostly about goin big. Also, the adrenaline I get from it. Every time i almost case, or almost get that huge trick, it makes things just that much better. But the most important reason that I ride is to be with my friends, have a good time, and take some road trips. Sometimes the best part of riding is just getting there. So I enjoy every part of it, and plan to continue doing so for as long as i can. It just helps to know that I have ecx, eagle, and district behind me 100% of the way. So thanks, I wouldn't even be where I am without you guys. I wouldn't even be on a scooter. All things aside, I still ride for the fun in it.
According to Stan, Stay Lifted will be about a 5 part web video. The one above is the intro, and below you can view Cary Mosbrucker's part...both videos are so gnarly, Cary's style is so sick. The RAD crew consists of some of the best park riders on the planet, I can't wait to see more parts.
Featuring Ryan Williams, Jaxon Andrawartha, Luke Pickett, and Max Peters...if that lineup isn't enough to make you wanna watch this video, then let me tell you that there may or may not be a double backflip at the end.
It's the video alot of people have been sitting around, waiting in anticipation for a drop, and here it is. This video definitely doesn't disappoint, footjams for days.
