I'd say there are four dominate dirt scooters on the market today.  We did blog posts on the Lucky Warthog dirt scooters and the MGP XT dirt scooters.  Next up are the Grit Terra and the Crisp DX, both contenders in the increasingly competitive dirt scooter market.  Giving you a quick recap of these dirt scooters specs. First up, the Crisp DX dirt scooters: Deck Size (L x W) - 5" x 19.75" 6061 Alloy w/ 3 degrees concavity Compression - HIC Headset - Neco 1 1/8" Sealed Fork - BMX Style Alloy Threadless Bars (L x W) - 23.6"...

ICS, HIC, SCS, threaded, threadless...stop!  What does is all mean?  For everyone interested in knowing more about their custom, pro scooters, you have to know about compression systems. We'll give a brief overview here, but the good people over at War Scooters put together a great video to help drive home some learning.  Check out the video below.

Now District brings us another v4 with a slightly lower price but compromise on quality and style.  The new...

Cheap Scooter Wheels?  Seems a little strange to start a scooter blog post for cheap pro scooter wheels.  However, you always need a set of spares.  Always.  Even if you've invested quite a bit to customize your pro scooter, pretty easy to throw a couple wheels in your pack.  We always carry quite a few of these inexpensive wheels in our retail Pro Scooter Shop in Redmond, WA.  Next time you are in the shop, ask to see what we have.  Right now we have both black and off-white, $9.99 per wheel.  They don't come with scooter bearings but we...

Posted yesterday about Lucky's dirt scooter.  Well, Madd Gear Pro, or MGP, isn't about to be outdone in the dirt scooter space.  They bring the MGP dirt scooter, officially the XT mini terrain scooter.  whatever...it's a dirt scooter in our book.Not as badass as The Warthog, but the XT carries a good name and a solid first edition to the 'terrain' space.We like it.  You?
