Alex recently had two new signature parts from Proto release, an SCS, and a new wheel. Both of which look amazing. Alex is a true OG in the sport, and his riding is timeless. He has never conformed to the new age tricks that most riders are doing today. He stuck to the tricks he personally likes to do, and has simply built off of that. It's a pleasure to watch this guys do what he does. Check it out below, and hit up your local scooter store or online shop to get your hands on Alex's new sig parts!

Jarrod Bruns New and Old
Jarrod is one of my favorite people to be around. Super chill dude, and don't get it twisted, yeah, he's quiet, because his riding speaks for itself. One of the most stylish riders in the game for years now, and he proves that again in this short edit make up of old and new footage. Get your note pads out kids, and take notes, this is what style is all about... And that last clip tho..

Brandon James in California
If you're looking for riders with style, look no further than the Teams of District/Eagle. Coedie Donovan, Chris Hart, and Rory Coe to name a few. But if I had to pick a rider with one of the best styles in the game right now, it would go to Brandon James no doubt. He literally has riders trying to imitate his style all the time, and that's no easy job. Kid is as smooth as butter, and makes the hardest tech tricks look effortless. Check out his edit from when he was down in California.

Devin Heald
It gets really boring watching most videos because every one is usually trying to ride like someone else, and it all ends up looking pretty bad. Watching Devin though is like a breath of fresh air. I remember first seeing clips of this kid that Jordan would have in random edits, and I always wanted a legit edit from him, and I'll definitely take this. Easily one of the most stylish dudes in the game. Keep in mind this is all street, he shreds park as well.

Nick Johnson - Super 60
For a straight up park rider to do a super 60 that's using more of the street section than the quarterpipes, i think this is an extremely solid effort.
Most lines were easily 1st / second go,
Enjoy.

Jason Beggs and Sammy Hetherington Super 60.
This video definitely redefines the "super" in super 60.
Tight filming and editing by Josh Toy.
Flawless riding in every way, style, clean and just a little bit different to your run of the mill park rider.
Enjoy.

My thoughts on a few subjects.
Over on the fuzion forums someone asked what a TIC rat is, the following is my response, and a response to some questions Nextsport asked.
basically, a lil scooter kid who goes to TIC everyday, and is more likely to learn backflips and briflips before learning double tailwhips. They also do wayy too many briflips and flyout tricks. Usually have day videos with really gross and sketchy riding, and terrible music. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvZWCFbrMQM&feature=related
"are double tailwhips considered harder to learn/do than backflips and briflips? just curious. In your opinion, what is the "best" or "hardest" trick on a scooter? or is it not about tricks, but more your style of riding that's categorized as good or bad? thanks for your input." - Nextsport
no, double tailwhips are like one of the basic tricks every rider should learn. Backflips used to be a sick trick, like it would get you on Razor back in the day, but now...a plain flip, especially flyout, is something nobody wants to see.
there cannot be a "best" or "hardest" trick on scooters. the sport is ever progressing, and what was not thought possible yesterday is being thrown with a late whip, or early barspin today. These days, for a majority of people, it is about style. Pete Pachota sums it up with this comic strip: http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2584/progression.jpg
Personally, I don't think doing "style" tricks such as tables, inverts, tuck no handers, etc, makes you stylish. Being stylish involves making what you do look natural, like you are part of the scooter. Or just making it look good.
I am also more of a trick-oriented person. I would rather see a tech grind combo (ie, matt mckeen doing 270 back board) than someone boost a turndown 6 feet out of a quarter.
Which brings me to another thing- street versus park. IMO park has been way overdone in scooter videos, rarely am i impressed by a park video nowadays. Instead, I prefer watching and riding street. Street forces you to be more creative, to look at things differently than you would in a park, where everything's just laid out for you. Street videos just tend to be more original and fun to watch. Street is what gets the respect from outsiders to the sport. If a skater sees a scooter rider do doublewhip over a pyramid, they probably wouldn't be impressed. But if he sees him do that doublewhip over a 6 set, he'll probably give the scooter rider some props.
