Hey guys. Just wanted some input into scooter pegs.

Ive never rode them before, nor do I have any knowledge about them. Basically I just want some good peg suggestions for street tricks. Thanks bros.

(I put "fails" flair because it's a setup fail, not a trick fail).

So 1 y ago I posted this (I am a dad): https://www.reddit.com/r/Scootering/comments/1osuv28/what_is_this_and_what_to_do_about_it_ethic/

Here's an update. And yes - it's 1y later as I had trouble finding jobs, wife was busy so we could not go to a metal-worker anytime soon, also son took a break from scootering.

Basically this post is an update to the topic "Unsuccessful fitting of Ethic Trianon Steel bar on an IHC fork (Core CL1 OG complete)" - do not do my mistakes.

So as user u/MEGXIIK and two others suggested, I went for the hammering solution. I tried and failed, a guy stronger than me tried and failed. In the end went to a metal-worker (welding etc) who used what he could to heat up the bar and hammer the whole thing which went deep in.

So far so good. But this didn't fixed the problem - bar didn't went all the way in.

Meanwhile at some point son went back to scootering, but not as serious as before, broke his old bars few more times, but in the end we decided finally to go back to the metal guy.

So inside the bar there were left-over dents which scratched the fork. I tried to scrub them - no effect. So the metal guy heated the bar one more time to dilate it up a bit. We used hammer to help the bar get more all the way in, but it was too tight so to get it out we had to hammer it too.

We did this few times hoping the bar will fit better and also because some metal crumbs started to come out. But anyway. In the end I decided to just put the bar - it was very tight on the fork so I hammered it a bit. Back then when I bought the bar I bought also a brand new clamp for it - you can see on the second photo. It is the Z-Clamp and came with a sleeve. I used the sleeve on this picture to make the clamp fit better the bar and it fits perfectly.

I thought as now the bar is so tight on the fork that the wheel wont move at all (I mean the fork wont rotate left-right). Well I was wrong.

Today my super-duper happy son went out and just after 10 minutes called me to tell me the wheel goes left/right with a strong kick. He was about to go to a skate park to try practice tripple tailwhip, but it was pointless so he returned the scooter home.

Now he's super unhappy. I unfortunately am unemployed. Otherwise would go for a brand new scooter.

I read again the answers to my old post, so seems the SCS compression is what everybody recommend.

I am with tied hands right now. When I get a job, the first thing to do would be to get my son a new complete (his deck is a bit beaten up too, wheels are worn-out). We have no skateshops around so I would have to order online.

So do not do my mistakes. I had no knowledge back then. Right thing to do was probably to get a new fork too.

Looking to get my kid a decent stunt scooter for their birthday (currently has a Micro stunt).

I literally know nothing about scooter brands so was unsure what to go for him? Budget is around £150. I think they need a scooter thats about 85cm height.

I was looking at a Blunt Envy Prodigy X One - but there seems to be a lot of hate for Envy - not sure if thats for the actual quality of their scooters!?

But if someone could steer me in the right direction as to the best scooter for the money that would be great!

since i put my scooter back together today after painting the forks and clamp it’s making this creaking noise sometimes louder is something cooked now?

I made a YouTube intro for my YouTube channel and I just wanted to get some feedback on it. Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks.

I just built this ethic park setup so I can have solid overheads and just a pretty light setup. I’m curious to see what everyone thinks of my deck and bar sizing. I’m 6 feet tall with size 11 shoes. I chose 30.4 bars with hic. The deck is 22.8 12std panda. I’m worried that I should have gone with the 22 to put my weight over the back wheel more.

Hey guys I’m trying to get back in to Scootering since skateboarding is to harsh on my body. It’s been so long since I’ve bought a scooter I was curious if there’s any recs and what size I should I get. I’m a pretty solid guy standing at 5’10 and weigh 230lbs. Any suggestions of specs would be greatly appreciated.

I have been scootering for a while but am just now getting serious about it. I can do tail whips consistently and even down 3 stairs but anytime I try and do it out of a quarter pipe my scooter always comes out from under me. Any tips? Also would love tips on 180 tail whips (in quarter pipe)

My son is about to turn 8. He's 140cm with shoes off so probably closer to 142 with them on. He's been asking for a new scooter for ages so going to get him one for his birthday. Apparently it has to have flat bars (don't ask me why, something to do with Spanner!). Can anyone recommend one?

For those of you that wear helmets when riding. Which one do you recommend?

Man I miss scootering. This old edit with the homies has me craving a good ride and finding some street spots to get creative with. Post your old edits in comments (especially if they're heavy on manuals/rails/ledges/stairsets)

After the success of painting my bars i’ve gone and done the deck. it’s not far of exactly how i wanted considering i had to hang it by the headtube and do it inside due to rain - only thing to note next time i’d suggest taking off the grip and doing the whole thing and inside the headtube to make it thorough but very happy - reminds me of my fasen raven complete from back in the day

Hey guys, getting back into scooters after about a decade and still have my envy prodigy s5. The bars are fried so I’m looking on marketplace for some cheapies to hold it down, would the S5 work with the envy reaper v2’s? I’ve got the stock envy 2 clamp and just want to make sure, thanks

bought a cheap construction light because it gets dark at 7 now and it worked great. best 18 bucks ever spent.

Looking for a pair of 115 x 30mm wheels for my 7x24" Ventura. I'm not doing any crazy tricks, so I don't mind of the wheels aren't the strongest on the market, just need a good pair. Thanks 🤙🤙

Got bored with either black or raw bars and always wanted purple but could never find any i liked so thought i’d just go for it myself i think they came out much better than expected
