Lucky Scooters DVD.

To describe the epicness that this trailer holds, i'd need to invent 50+ new words to even begin telling you.
Although, actions speak louder than words, let the video do the talking.

The Exposed Tour Gets a Slight Name Change..

Something that has the whole sport buzzing is the recent news of “The Exposed Tour”. The Exposed Tour is the first real Competition circuit in our sport. The Tour is taking place on the West Coast, and it has been said that if this goes well…There will be an East Coast Exposed Tour, and Midwest Exposed Tour.

While The Exposed Tour has a huge list of sponsoring companies, one company has agreed to be the Title Sponsor. That company, is Razor USA. So the name of the competition circuit is now going to be known as, “The Razor Exposed Tour”.

Now before anyone gets worried that the rules or tour stops might be changed by Razor, think again. This tour is still going to be coordinated and organized by the original people behind it. What Razor is doing is using all of its popularity and connections to help promote this tour far beyond what could have been done without them. They are looking forward to working with all of the new companies that are involved with Freestyle Scootering, and view this as an opportunity to renew and expand their support of our sport.

For Razor to step up as the Title Sponsor of the Exposed Tour shows that they see a lot of promise in the sport of Freestyle Scootering. The Exposed Tour becoming The Razor Exposed Tour means good news not just for the Tour itself, but for everyone who is competing. This competition circuit could very well set a new standard in the sport of Freestyle Scootering.

For any and ALL updates on The Razor Exposed Tour be sure to check Inside-Scooters.



Here are the official dates and locations for the Razor Exposed Tour:

May 23, 2010 Krause Family Skate Park (YMCA) San Diego, Ca

August 28, 2010 Battle Ground Skate Park Battle Ground, Wa

September 18, 2010 X-Court Glendale, Az

Get to Know SOA + New SOA Team Rider

Scooters Only Australia was one of the first companies I ever remember coming out of Australia and starting to sponsor local riders. They have came long way since their early years...to help everyone get to know them I recently caught up with Justin the owner of SOA and asked him a few questions. Check out the interview below.
Steven: So when exactly did SOA start, and why was it started?

Justin: SOA was founded Back in early 2008, Starting on eBay with scooter products, we have traded online now for 7 years via eBay & website’s we started in video games like SONY, Nintendo & Mircosoft basicly cause gaming was a passion/Hobbie for me back then after sum years trading in video games & console modchips/installs I was at my local shopping mail then walked past the toy window to know the razor’s were on special so I walked in got one headed of to the skate park, after not riding for over 4 years & yeah just feel in love with the sport once again, this was back in early 2008 after sum research to find sum actual scooter parts I wouldn’t break like my razor I just got I searched the net finding not much so I set out a goal to offer clients what I always dreamed of & wanted as a young scooter rider from the year 2001 when I started, basicly started of there with the simple yak & razor stuff on eBay until we started the new company now called Scooters Only Australia Pty ltd we sort merged from eBay to our SOA website which lead us to where we are today, there is a lot more to the story we just didn’t want to bore you all.


Steven: I remember SOA as being one of the first companies to start making and selling pegs, what made you guys want to make pegs?

Justin: Well this again comes back to my days of riding from 2001, around 2003 just before I stopped I made sum home made pegs, like we always had the sockets & blade scooter brakes had a insert we used for pegs but it just didn’t cut it, in 2003 I made sum welded hand made aussie pegs I used until I sort not really grow out of scooters or didn’t love it, basicly growing up & work took over making it hard to ride all the time.

But when I came back to the sport in 2008 I had notice there wasn’t pegs still years later this hadn’t been done by any company I had heard of so that was the first product we designed to make for our clients, as you guys both know from riding them they are a great product depending on the model or scooter set up you had for the time back then over 1 year ago there wasn’t many pegs like these days, we had redesigned out product bout 6 times, not that it was no good, just basicly cause of the change of market like new forks out, new decks compared to when we started with mainly just pro or micro decks to work with, we actually bring out the BMX style pegs ages ago but the market didn’t seem to be interested then only interested in the solid axle peg models we had, as you can see now most of the pegs out to date are a bmx style/designed peg on a scooter scale size just shows you how the sport has grown also the interest from clients & companies these days I believe its great to its just making this sport lead to were it should be at.


Steven: After a while, SOA kind of disappeared? Can you tell us what happened in that time you were absent?

Justin: Well basicly work took over not SOA, but my other full time job as a chef we had big plans for SOA last year then I got sort busy working in the industry ive been in for over 10 years, my online gaming then SOA business wasn’t a full time thing it was a hobbie to do with stuff like loved & had passion for which was gaming & scooters but as you see scooters more it took over me, we did have website server troubles during this time when I was working 65+ hrs a week so we sort had to stop I had no time & yeah it really hurt me that I couldn’t keep up the plans we had set inplace priour to starting the company name & website. How ever things now have changed as you might notice & we are growing rapidly like the boiling water at my old work every day.


Steven: Being back now, what can we expect from SOA in the future?

Justin: Well we can give away too much we for the time until we release the SOA new range which is mostly 100% Australian Manufactured Products we will only be stocking brands we retail for, we have a number at the moment with most the fine quality international brand which as a rider myself I beleave in this basicly is our moto that if I wouldn’t ride it or let my cousin ride it I wouldn’t stock or sell it, as for our SOA range we can give u a teaser with out spilling the beans to much, we have baiscly a full range of quality after market parts basicly setting a new standard with No Welds yes I hope we confuse you all with saying this, but it is true we will release a range of products from Decks, forks, bars, clamps & brakes all aussie made which is a first all high end quality material & designs there will be a new website for this range aside from the SOA store so look out for this in the future


Steven: Being one of the very first companies we worked with Inside-Scooters over a year ago, It's good to have you back. What made you want to work with IS again?

Justin: Well basicly the above reply relates to this, basicly we have started as a full time company so we are back here with you guys


Steven: Thanks Justin, do you have any last words?

Justin: Well I think I raved on too much as always we would just like to thanks every one around the world for your support & special thanks you guys at inside for the support yopu have given us since our return in 2010, we look forward to working with the community to bring a brighter future to this sport.






So after reading that, I think it's clear that we have one more legit company in our sport. Also below is their latest rider to have been made a part of the SOA Team.

Frano Briski is from the Goldcoast in Australia, and recently finished his latest SOA Edit. Check it out below...and expect to see more good things from Frano and the rest of the riders at SOA in the future on Inside-Scooters.

Kiara Meade 720

First girl to 720? They're saying shes sponsored by Razor and can flip...pretty nuts, especially for an 11 year old girl.

Also check out her first Day Video..which according to Mohamed was filmed in about 20 minutes....This girl is going to be extremely good in a year or so if she keeps at it. And I guess when you got locals riding TIC like Mohamed Alsulaibi and Josh Kish that has to help a little bit too..haha.

Colby La-Chiusa Super 60.

Featuring the new super 60 intro, made for inside scooters by Sam Short.

Watch carefully, there's alot to miss in here. This has to be one of the best super 60's we've seen at inside scooters, consistency wise. How one person can film 5 minutes and 30 seconds of straight tricks, in 60 minutes is beyond me.

Enjoy.

Nick Darger Web Edit

Nick Darger at one point was just another rider from the So Cal area. So Cal riders used to just be seen as riders that couldn't ride street and were confined to the many parks in the area. Well it didn't take too long for Nick to change that. A couple years ago Nick started to progress in both...fast. His park riding got even better, and his street riding got a lot better. Nick is one of the few riders in So Cal that throw down equally hard in street and park...This edit proves that.



It's pretty well cheating to be that good at both street and park.

Adam Rouse DSA Cambo Forks Promo

Adam Rouse is a DSA Team Rider for Australia. He is a top promoter of DSA in Australia, and this video proves no different. With the recent release of DSA's Cambo Forks, Adam decided to make a video to promote them. Check it out below.

CooterCon Nine

Footage I got from last month's Cootercon at Skatebarn West in Renton, Washington. A lot of crazy stuff went down, super glad that I got to go.

Eagle-Sport Australia Team Announcement

During the months of March and April Eagle-Sport was accepting open applications from riders from all around Australia to see who would get a chance to ride on the Eagle-Sport Team. In April a rider was chosen..by the name of Chris Hart. However, receiving over 50 applications...Eagle felt that they could fit another rider onto the Australian Team. That rider is......

Jackson Manzie



I caught up with Jackson to ask him some questions so those who don't know him can get to know the new Eagle-Sport Team rider a little better.


1. Name, Age, Location

Jackson James Manzie. 17. Sydney, Australia.

2. When and how did you start riding scooters?

I used to mess around on them, doing bunnyhops and manuals when I was about 7, then I saw a video of Alex Peasley about 7 years later by chance and started messing around a bit more seriously.

3. Who are some of your favorite people to ride with?

Aaron Bransdon, Geordie Mac, Jamie Fox, Max Margalit and Alec Burman for sure. From America, i'd say Tyler Wheeland, John and Nick Darger for sure. Other than that, I like riding with most of the people from western sydney too.


4. What made you want to try out for Eagle-Sport?

I guess the opportunity to be part of something bigger, something a little more serious. Plus as everyone knows its a company that makes amazing parts, so to be a part of that is really special.

5. Now that you're on Eagle-Sport do you plan on making any changes?


It's sort of unrelated but I think i'd like to start riding street a lot more. I've been riding it a fair bit lately and i've developed a taste for finding spots and riding them, so yup :)

6. What are your future plans for scootering?

Buy a new camera hopefully, make some fun video projects, hang out with my mates, ride a scooter and represent Eaglesport. Sounds like a plan dontchaknowit?



Below is a little video that Jackson filmed for this piece. Enjoy it, and stay tuned for some really big things from Eagle-Sport Australia in the future. Congratulations to Jackson Manzie for becoming a part of the Eagle-Sport Family.

Royce King of Style

Edit of Royce King done by Nickeh. Royce has been one of my favorite riders to watch for over 3 years now. Kid just has some amazing style, and is an amazing park rider. He is also a really underrated street rider in Aus. Although this video doesn't showcase his street skills. Hopefully Royce will make a street video in the future.

Matthew Somers Mini Video 1

Matt Somers isn't the most well known name when you think of East Coast riders. However, with his first mini video recently dropping..I think that's going to change soon. This guy has some talent...and if he continues to progress in street and park...is going to become a really amazing well rounded rider. Check out his Mini Vid 1/District Sponsor Me below.
