Stunt Scooters - Advice.....Anyone ???
 
Can anyone advise on a good quality stunt scooter.
Looking to get Oliver (10 years) one for christmas.

Must have 360 degree spiny handle bars and be quiet when riding (unlike his current cheap £20 fold away rattle box...so bloody noisey).

Prices seem to be about £50 - £70 for 'Stunt' types.

any advice appreciated

Scott are you talkiing about the scooters all the lads are into now. I have gone through the whole process with Brooke. Where now I'm buying him wheels for £20 each and bearings 8 for £30 . T bars £55 , grips £ 20 . The scooter he has is a razor pro but he has his eyes on a new one which is £150 . Trust me it's a serious rip off , but don't buy cheap stuff it will last a few weeks.
I do remember my parents telling me I was mad the money I spent as a lad on the best wheels and trucks for my skateboard, how right they were:-)

I've prob not helped you much, but what I will say is don't buy cheap, budget £150 for scooter, decent wheels, bearings and bars .

My 9 yr old has asked for the same, he keeps going on about a jd bug, they are around £75 and you can get the extras like stunt pegs etc

Yep jd bug is what my boy had 1st. They are not bad as a base, need bolt kit to lock the folding part , as it's got so much play in it, the standard wheels and bearings are poor and will only last a few months at best.
I've had a play on my sons before and after the wheel and bearing upgrade, transformed it :-)

Seen the razor Lo pro or whatever, not folding. Specialist shops selling for 120, Argos have them for 80.

Scott - if you do decide what you want give me a shout as I have a friend in LA (the beach hut) who sells them!

LA? Blimey, is that what they call Little Ampton these days? :whistle: :wink:

I was going to suggest that you speak to Martyn, but he's already on the ball :ok:
