RAD is Back.. for Good

Now if for some reason you just happen to have been living under a rock, and don't know about RAD, let me break it down. RAD stands for "Ride and Destroy". RAD was the company that sparked the industry when it came to after market parts, mainly one piece bars. To this day, RAD bars are still imitated by numerous companies. Though RAD has been relatively quiet for some time, we recently got word here at Inside-Scooters that they are making a come back. Not just a temporary come back, but a 100%, here to stay, come back. Read the statement below from Cory Vanlew, an OG rider from RAD, for more details.

"Yo my fellow shredders! It's Cory Vanlew here bringing you guys a RAD update. As you may or may not of heard RAD Skoot Co. is making yet another comeback in the year 2012, the difference this time is we are here for good. Production of parts and engineering new products was stopped briefly for minor issues. This is no longer the case, RAD is in the process of making signature parts and bringing some new flavor to the table all while still keeping the "grimey" image that RAD is known for. You can expect to see a Signature Handlebar Series coming soon, adding some new designs to the RAD handlebar line up. The team is also working to stack clips for a series of web videos to be released. So expect some quality riding from all the OG riders which includes, Cary Mosebrucker, Tyler Bonner, Stan Smirnoff, Cory Vanlew, and a top secret new team member whose name I can't drop just yet. We have a great mix of riders who all live a "Ride and Destroy" lifestyle, just having fun on our skoots with the friends we grew up slammin metal and Rainier beers with in the beautiful State of Washington. Keep on pushin kids, and stay tuned into Inside-Scooters for more RAD updates/videos coming soon..."

Flipside Ridehouse Joins Inside-Scooters

Flipside recently joined up with Inside-Scooters, and we are pretty stoked about it. If you want to learn more about Flipside Ridehouse check out the description below, which can also be found on their website.

"Established in 2010, Flipside Ridehouse was the first Pro scooter source in Arizona as well as the Southwest. Flipside continues to offer the largest selection of Pro Scooters and accessories plus we are the only local company to promote the sport by hosting numerous events with Pro riders and scooter manufacturers. It quickly became apparent that there was also a need for a legit on-line business that would reach beyond the borders of the Grand Canyon State since so many stores would either not have product or scooter riders would end up waiting weeks or more for their parts to arrive. Unlike some of the other guys, if you can add an item to your cart then we have it in stock.

Flipside prides itself on exceptional customer service and speedy order processing. We are a Christian-owned business and always use the Golden Rule with our customers - treat everyone the way we would want to be treated. We have honest prices on only the very best scooter products like Madd Gear ( MGP ), Phoenix Pro Scooters, Proto, VertX, Tilt, Yak, Razor and many more.

Many companies try to squeeze a few extra dollars out of you with shipping and handling...this is a SCAM! We only charge you what UPS and USPS charges us to ship. We are adding new products daily so CHECK BACK OFTEN. Thanks for visiting Flipside Ridehouse and if I can quote Bill and Ted, “Be excellent to each other!”

Peace, Flipside"

Also we want to let everyone know that Flipside Ridehouse recently got in all of the new MGP products. They have the VX2 Pro, VX2 Team, Ninja (both 4.0 and 4.5), Nitro End of Days and Nitro Extreme She Devil scooters in stock...all colors. With price cuts on the older models. So if you want to check them out just click the link below.

Dissidence Warehouse Flat Sesh

What else can you even say about these guys? No matter what, when you see "Dissidence" in front of anything, you know you're going to see some legit riding. This is no different. These guys got hops for days.

Delos Fabien- One Day 1

Uhh...I don't know what to say about this video other than you've probably never seen tricks like this before.  Especially the flatland clips. 

Ty Alexander February Edit

Ty keeps getting better and better.  Whip lip downside whip was so nice, its good to see the younger guys hitting rails more often.  And of course, he's awesome at riding ramps, in case you didn't notice. 

Dissidence Last Clips of 2011

All these clips were shot by Jeremy Suchet on his new camera in December.  The Dissidence team seems to have it all, tech ledge riders and big jumpbox riders.  JD is too good.  Additional filming by Luca Thiebaut.

Mikaylee Failla Start of 2012 Edit

Mikaylee is 15 years old, and lives in Flushing, NY. He recently made it out for Woodward Camp in California, and got some pretty good clips there. He is definitely on the come up, and has a long way to go, but he's getting there. I think if he pushes himself a little bit harder, and speeds up his riding a bit it could really help. Solid edit though.

Danny Roberts Throwaway

Danny Roberts is probably one of my favorite riders to watch from The UK. Super clean style and smooth on everything. This is all of his throwaway footage, so hopefully we get to see a legit edit in the near future. Still some really good clips throughout this whole thing though.


Also be sure to check out Scoot-Mag on Facebook if you haven't already.

Robin Wass MGP UK Edit

Rob recently hurt himself pretty bad, and won't be back riding for a few months. If anyone knows more about the injury (Graham?) let us know in the comments. This edit has been released a bit early, but still has some solid clips in there. We hope Rob has a quick recovery.

Scooter Zone Advanced How To: BS Lipslide to BS 270

Scooter Zone's Matt Somers teaches you guys a trick that is slowly becoming more popular to do on rails. This is part of SZ's "Advanced Tutorials" so this isn't something beginner riders should just go out and try. Check out the How To below.

Riley Hughes- Torn Scooters Promo

Riley is the proud owner Torn Scooters, which makes the bars you can see Riley riding in this video.  I hadn't ever actually seen this guy ride until this video, so I was pretty stoked on this video.  Tons of awesome spots and riding, banger is pretty sketch but...have you ever seen that before? 

Micro and Oneeighty at Woodward, Mexico, and Peru

I didn't even know Micro had a team anymore, and I have no idea what ONEEIGHTY is, but the riders featured in this video (Benj Friant, Jerry Walther, Fernando Young, and Daniel Franco) all shred, so check this out.

Laurence "Loz" Murphy

This English guy has a pretty sweet, original style.  He somehow makes tricks off quarterpipes to flat look cool.  Must be doing something right, keep it up Loz.

Marc "Kitus" Morera- District and Eagle

Marc is from Spain and has a pretty cool style.  He recently got sponsored by District/Eagle and made this video in one day.  He seems to have the street style, I want to see him riding some Barcelona spots now.

Gus Rymer 2012 Throwaway

Gus is getting it done.  The kid seems to have no fear.  He recently picked up ECX as a sponsor, joining Lucky in the list of companies hooking him up.

East2West Weekly Sale: Phoenix Reventon Decks

East 2 West is starting up a new promotion involving some really good sales. Basically each week E2W is going to choose a product, and for that week that particular product will be at a blowout price. However it will only last for ONE week. So if they put something on sale you guys like, make sure to head over to East2West and make that purchase.


This week to start things off are one of the most popular decks in the sport, the Phoenix Reventon deck. Phoenix improved on almost everything from their old deck, and people seem to really love the changes. Check out the flyer for more details.

WarScooters How To Install Standard and Integrated Headsets

This week WarScooters gives you the run down on installing your standard or integrated headset. I struggled with doing this when I went through it my first few times. Hopefully this helps out some of you guys so you don't have to. Check out the video below.

Michael Pytel Winter Throwaway

Posting throwaway isn't something we do at IS a lot, but I made an exception for Michael. I knew that Michael had a lot of potential in his riding. When you start to see that even in his throwaway, I think that means something. He is one of the riders who is good at riding both street or park. I really appreciate riders who I can watch their park or street clips and enjoy them both the same. Last clip is going to be crazy when he gets it.

Hope we see a real edit soon.

Oakland Sesh with Big Ron

The Over Show crew met up with Big Ron after some Oakland A's event.  Some chill riding by Ron, Addison McNaughton, and Eric Ostrom.
