Default 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 .

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?

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