Slamm Complete Freestyle Scooter

Currently there's quite a few scooters on the market which seem to be based around a re-branded ultra pro, such as the 'Grit' and Roces Scooters which were released this year. An addition to the market is the Slamm "Rage" Scooter. seen below:

• One piece T bar 23” x 17”
• Triple stacked collar clamp
• 48 x 11cm deck 
• Rubber BMX style bar grips
• Nylon wheels
• ABEC-7 Chrome Bearings
• Quick Stop Brake
• Maximum Rider Weight: 100Kg
• Full length Grip Tape with printed design.

This is the first reference I've heard to Nylon-cored wheels since Eagles prototypes, which could apparently withstand 4,000 lbs of pressure!

BLAZER Pro Series Compression Kit: SCS fake?

If you're one of the many people who have seen or even owned an SCS, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. These are SCS look-a-likes made by BLAZER as part of their Pro Series of Freestyle Scooter Products.

It's pretty safe to say that these look EXACTLY like the Proto SCS (previously known as the "Brass Knuckle") Compression systems released back in 2009. Strangely enough they don't appear to make the original colour of the SCS- anodised gold (hence it's previous name). Since the original products was pending on a patent, 'Phoenix' and 'Apex Scooters' have both made compression systems in the same way, but with a different appearance. As for as I know, this is the first SCS 'copy' to look the same as Proto's original version. I haven't seen any of these around yet but at a price of £39.95, these may be favoured over the original Proto SCS (shipped from the US) being sold at SkateHut for £69.95, almost double the price, not sure about the quality of which they are being made though.

Roces 'Kook' Complete Freestyle Scooter

Roces has been going since 1952, they're an Italian company which specialises in Skates, they made the revolutionary Majestic "Street Skate" in 1996 after Inline Blading was introduced in the X-Games in 1995. Part of their interest has moved to scootering and they've took some time to build a Freestyle scooter to add to the market.

Features:

• Reinforced Aluminium One-Piece Bars with gussets
• One-Piece Freestyle Scooter Deck
• 100mm 12 Spoke Wheels
• 3 Bolt 'Triple' Clamp
• Reinforced Forks with gussets

I've never seen one of these scooters before, I'm not sure of how it rides, but there might be one at your skatepark eventually!

October!

Hey guys! Well October has begun and it won't be long until Christmas. The weather isn't looking so good but hopefully everyone can get a few riding seshes in before the snow. If you can think of any other events taking place in October, be sure to let me know so I can update the calendar!

Hello all!

I thought I'd give this a shot. I've had the idea in my head since Darren from DoggScooters introduced it to me, that the UK could do with a Blog that UK riders can regularly check for news and updates. Right now this log is in the works but I hope that I can get it moving as quickly as possible,

peace.
