Jandiv in Slow-Mo.

Jean-Yves Randriambelson from Addict uploaded this the other day.  Super sick footy, love his grind combos.  Anyone know what that deck is?  He used to run Districts but that doesn't look like one to me.  And it definitely doesn't look like the old Addict prototypes...

Scooter Hut Nitro Circus Diary: March 8th

Inside-Scooters will be providing all of the updates and news from the Scooter Hut and Nitro Circus Tour. In this diary entry, you get to read about what is going on with Ryan Williams, Mitch Baldry, and Max Peters. Also you can read that Andrew Broussard is back in Australia for Nitro Circus.

I had the chance to sit down with Andrew a few days ago in San Diego only days before he was about to get on the plane for Australia. I can say with confidence that with Andrew there to help out Ryan, Mitch, and Max, that they will do fine in the Tour. Check out the diary entry below.

Scooter Hut Nitro Circus Diary:
Tuesday 8th March: Training Day

It's a massive massive day for scooting! Beautiful day in Albury, Australia. A perfect day for Training with the Nitro Circus Boys. Three young Aussie guys, Ryan William, Max Peters and Mitch Baldry are training with the Nitro Circus athletes in the hope they will be good enough to perform on the Nitro Circus Tour of Australia.

Mr Scooter himself, Andrew Broussard (the pioneer of introducing scooters to Nitro Circus), has been giving the guys some advice and tips throughout the morning, and around 2pm today, we will get the chance to see the boys going down the 50ft Gigantaramp. Travis Clark, from Scooter Hut, has been giving the guys confidence boosts all morning (well, he's pumped them up on cans of Monster, so they don't know what the feck their doing) so by 2pm they’ll be itching to get to the top of that ramp.

Travis Pastrana and all the other Nitro performers have also been sharing their wisdom with the guys, and regardless of whether Ryan, Max and Mitch make it to the Tour or not, we believe the sport of scooting is going to benefit so much from this event. With guys like TP now seeing just how good some of the athletes in our sport are, the days of scooters being seen as inferior to BMX or skateboarding are coming to an end.

…for all the guys at Lucky, Zero Gravity, Apex Pro, Blunt, District and Eagle and Inside Scooters who have helped support this event - thanks! Everybody involved in this event has a lot to be proud of, for having the vision to push scooting outside the boundaries of skate parks and into the big world of Extreme Sports!

There will be a new diary entry tomorrow on IS, but you can also follow hourly updates by following Scoter Hut on Facebook!

Am Spotlight: Noah Risser

Noah Risser is a name that I had never heard of until about a month ago, when I stumbled upon his Tech/Flat Minivideo.  It was clear that he had talent on his scooter, and I definitely saw a little of myself in him.  He rides super tech and creatively.  I think its safe to say that he has a bright future in the sport…with tricks like nose manual doublewhips, hang five bartwists, and boardslide doublewhips, he is one am to keep your eye on.  I got in contact with Noah and asked him a few questions to get to know him better.

 

Jordan Jasa:  Name, age, location:

Noah Risser; 14; Lancaster, PA

How long have you been riding, and what made you start?

I've been messing around on scooters since like december '08, but seriously got into them around May '09. I think I got into riding after seeing one of my friends do a tailwhip, and then I just got amazed by them, and now here I am haha.

Who are some of your favorite riders?

I have a TON of favorite riders. but my top 5 would have to be Erik Feenstra, Dylan Kasson, Matt Mckeen, you (Jordan Jasa), and Tom Kvilhaug. after watching videos of them I feel like I've gotta go out and ride haha.

I love the tech part part of your riding.  What influences you to ride like that?

Watching my favorite riders definitely influences how I ride. I know I don't go as big as Mckeen or Tom, and I'm not sure where the tech part of my riding came from, but it somehow turned out like that. I would like to have a nice street/tech combo of a style one day haha.

What are some companies you'd like to be sponsored/involved with?

If I could pick any team to be with, it would no doubt be District; I love all their parts and their riders so much. but as for teams other than District I would like to be involved with maybe Proto, Inward, or Skyhigh.

Any tricks you're working on?

As for tricks now I'm basically trying to re-learn all my tricks because I lost a lot of my tricks due to the winter. but what I would want to land this Spring would be triples flat maybe 720 a set if I would man up for once haha.

Any shoutouts to close it up?

Yea I wanna shout out to Will Rosati for being like the only person that still rides in the winter with me & Isaac Coy because he drinks gasoline! And thanks to you Jordan for giving me a chance to be on Inside :)

Inside-Scooters a Whole New Year + Inside-Scooters Forum!!

Inside Scooters.  It's a name the sport has come to know and love.  From videos, to interviews, to tutorials, Inside truly gives the riders an Inside look into the sport.  When I first made the Blog back in December 2009, I wasn't even sure that it was a good idea.  Would anybody bother reading it?  What if kids hate on it?  What would it turn into?  I finally got motivated to start posting and showing the site to the community a month later.  It quickly caught a dedicated audience, and I asked Steven Tongson, Inward Team Manager at the time, to help write.  Steven's reputation and talent made really helped bring in more readers, and a little later on, advertisers.  I admit I would be lost in that department without Steven, and I'd really like to thank him for all the countless emails hes sent to various companies, as well as for all the great articles he posts.  


At the time, when we first started having advertisers, I thought about how amazing it would be to eventually have IS to the point where it would be the place where every top company came to show their stuff to the world.  About how I could really make a name out of the IS label, have it profitable and expandable.  I didn't really expect it to overtake the Scooter Resource, a place where most kids went to find videos and other content online...but, amazingly, many kids tell me IS is their #1 favorite scooter website.  Something that really is truly amazing to me, for I never expected it to get that big.


A couple months ago, I had the idea of a filming/photography forum.  After collaborating with my good friend Chris Gascoigne, we officially launched the Inside View forum.  It was a proud moment for me, as an Inside related forum was always something in the back of my mind, but I never had the expertise or resources to make one.  But we succeeded with that, and soon after, identified a need for a larger, more general forum for the community.  Brian Boston's "The Ridewire" forum had been having some technical difficulties, and was out for extended periods of time.  As the Scooter Resource was the only alternative...well, lets just say some people would rather not go there.  So, we contacted Brian, and hatched a little plan for a big feature to hit IS, probably the biggest since the inception of IS itself.  Something I'm very excited for.  And now, I'll hand the mic, I mean keyboard? to Mr. Steven T.
-Jordan Jasa

2011 marks a whole new year for Inside-Scooters. With this new year comes plenty of new stuff. We got new IS Staff members, and new IS websites like Inside-View, but the IS changes aren't stopping there.

I'm sure if you're here reading this, you obviously already know about Inside-Scooters. We are the leading, and original website dedicated to bringing the world the latest news, updates, videos, interviews, product reviews and more in the sport of Scootering. Since the start of Inside-Scooters, we have seen, and will continue to see, plenty of websites who try and imitate what we do at Inside-Scooters. Though none of them have ever had a following like we have here at Inside-Scooters. We have grown and expanded without the use of unethical strategies and promotions, and will never stoop to that level. We appreciate, and are dedicated 110% to the readers and fans of our website, and we will continue to provide them with all the news and updates you've come to expect from Inside-Scooters.

That being said, let's take a look at some of the new websites from Inside-Scooters.

Inside-View

The Inside-View was started by Jordan Jasa and recently added Inside-Scooters staff member, Chris Gascoigne. It's purpose is quite simple, it is a one stop website for aspiring filmers and editors to get all the help and information they need to help them progress in each field. Inside-View admins and moderators encourage all users of the forum to ask as many questions as possible, so that they can eventually start producing top quality videos and pictures. Inside-View is truly an asset to the sport, whether you plan to give your opinion and input on issues, or just want to look around the forums for tips on filming and editing, ISV is the place to be.

Inside Scooters Forum

One thing people have been asking Jordan and I to do for years now is to make a Forum. So in order to do that, we had to find the one person who we knew could make such a forum, and we were confident in our choice, because he had already done it before. Brian Boston, the creator of the extremely popular forum “The Ride Wire,” as well as the man who ran the Scooter Resource for five years, has left that behind, and joined us at Inside-Scooters. He is now the owner and creator of Inside-Scooters Forum. This forum is aiming to be the number 1 Forum in our sport, and we encourage everyone who was a part of The Ride Wire, to join our new community here at Inside-Scooters Forum.

Inside Scooters Network

Last but not least...We understand that having THREE Inside-Scooters related websites, can be a bit tedious. So Chris Gascoigne created the Inside-ScootersNetwork. This is the Inside-Scooters Home site. From here you can access either, ISB, ISV, or ISF with one click. You can find updates on this website regarding each of the three IS websites as well. You can take this website, and place it on your desktop, and will now have easy access to any Inside-Scooters website you want to view.


Inside-Scooters is never, and will never just be a blog. I personally pick IS Staff members who share the same mindset as I do, and see Inside-Scooters not for what it is, but for what we can make it. We are dedicated to only two things at Inside-Scooters.

1. The sport of Scootering.
2. Our dedicated readers, and the companies partnered with Inside-Scooters.

We aren't going anywhere, and you guys can rest assure that we are not done expanding. Later in 2011, we plan to have a lot more for our readers beyond just material on our website. We will have shirts, and other apparel. More contests for our readers around the world featuring free products and cash prizes, and a lot more.

I also have to give a big shout out to some of the people who helped make IS what it is known as today. Aaron Bransdon for always being there to help out with updates, news, and videos from Australia. And Margaret Mulligan for designing the Inside-Scooters Logo and page layout that has become synonymous with the Inside-Scooters name. I am confident when I say that Inside-Scooters would not have been the same without the two of them.

Lastly, again to all of our dedicated readers and fans. From the readers who take the time to comment on each post. From “Hater” to “i luv IS”, to the sometimes annoying “Anonymous” posters...we appreciate that all of you come to Inside-Scooters. We promise to continue to provide the same high quality of material you've grown used to seeing on Inside-Scooters. Thanks Everyone!

Jackson and Aaron 2

This is soooo good.  A short treat from the brains behind Friendly, Jackson and Aaron always manage to leave me wanting more.  Watch for switch by Jackson...the tricks he does would be good even for regular stance.  Super clean, super creative, super stylish, just a great little video.

Ryan Upchurch Woodward Edit

360
Blunt and ECX's Ryan Upchurch was one of the lucky riders to attend Camp Woodward, and made this dialed edit...so many crazy tricks in there.  Tooth to dub downside whip, 360 bar nosegrab bar, and of course, a double backflip.  One thing though, this goes to many scooter riders....Y U NO STOP USING DUBSTEP IN VIDEOS???

Blunt Decks at DSA

So you may know Blunt decks have been in the US for a while now, thanks to Dominator Scooter Accessories, who is the American distributor for all Blunt products.  They put together a couple ads for the Ace of Spades deck, check em out.  I've been running a Blunt since December now and I gotta say they're definitely a super solid deck.  4.3 wide is a really a nice balance between skinny, fast whipping decks and wider, more stable decks.  The bottom of the deck is rounded but not as much as Phoenix decks, which is nice for grinds.  In fact grinding and tech on this deck is actually really fun...the 82.5 degree HTA makes nose manuals super easy, and pegs fit great on the back.  The AOS deck really can appeal to almost every kind of rider.  If you're in need of a new deck, I'd definitely suggest giving the Ace of Spades a look.

Am Spotlight: Issac Miller

I've watched Issac's progression for a while now and this just proves it. Issac is becoming a beast. Riding is fluid and smooth and he is truely showing progression!



Chris: How old are you and where do you reside?

Issac: i'm 15 years old and life in Cascade Iowa

Chris: What tricks are you currently working on?

Issac: I'm currently working on front scooterflips and more peg grinds

Chris: Do you currently have any sponsors?

Issac: Nope.

Chris: Where do you see your riding level in 5 years, & what companies do you hope to be involved with?

Issac: i've always wanted to ride kind of like Matt McKeen, so i hope to be somewhere in that range, haha. i would love to be involved with Phoenix Pro Scooters, and Scooter Zone in the future because they have some of the best quality products on the market today.

Chris: Thanks for your time Issac, and allowing us to share your riding, Any last words?

Issac: no problem man. I'd like to thank Jordan Jasa for Filming/editing all of my videos and pushing me to go bigger ♥. and Zach Johnston for getting me into riding and help me progress a ton. thanks to my parents for supporting me and everything!
