Early summer time and that means camping.  Camping...what in the world does that have to do with pro scooters and scooter parts?  Well, funny you should ask.  Today's little pro scooter story... I stopped by the scooter shop this afternoon and had a good chat with Pro Scooter Shop rider Ryan Lingg.  He mentioned that a customer had called the shop inquiring about the Lucky Warthog dirt scooter.  We have them in stock so the customer mentioned he'd swing by.  Like that. About 30 minutes later customer comes in and sure enough buys the Warthog by Lucky.  We chat for...

OK, I've got to write a couple of sentences about the Flyte 100, specifically the green one.  Here's how this went down... Tuesday nights I keep our pro scooter shop in Redmond, WA, open from 5pm to 8pm.  And as the owner, this is my shift.  Today, I walk into the shop and there is a customer talking with Gary (by the way, Gary is the most knowledgeable scooter tech in the business.  no joke!).  Customer is a young gal, I'm going with 9 or 10, and her mom.  There are 3 or 4 scooters on the floor for evaluation....

While Pro Scooter Shop carries a full line of mid to higher entry professional scooters, there are plenty of options for those ready to move in to pro scooters but not break the bank.  We carry a number of scooters around $150 with many of the options found in more expensive scooters. Let's start with Crisp Scooters and their Inception entry level scooter.  I like the look of this scooter and Crisp as done a nice job of pricing and features. Pro Scooter Shop price:  $159.99 Deck Size - 4.35" wide and 19.75" long Bars are threaded steel and 21.65"...

We love scootering and the pro scooters industry here are Pro Scooter Shop!  The riders are sick, the products continue to evolve and the fans are intense!  The companies behind the products have great stories, so we thought we'd write a quick story on one of these companies...Madd Gear Pro or MGP. Did you know that MGP was formed back in 2002 in Australia?  And it wasn't until 2010 that they expanded into the US, UK and Europe.  Check more of their history here. Their pro scooter product line included the VX2 and VX3 editions.  They also produced the Ninja...

Stating the obvious but as you know, freestyle pro scootering is a high risk sport.  The tricks that you see the professionals do are practiced over and over.  And even they miss every once in a while!  While there's no equipment that will protect you 100%, there are must haves.  Last post was about scooter helmets, which should be a requirement. Next up would be scooter elbow pads and scooter knee pads.  Both serve a similar purpose; protecting these extremities of our bodies that always take a beating from falls. Make sure that these pads fit snug, with minimal impact...
