stunt scooters - help needed please

[scabbysnake]

both boys would like a new scooter for xmas. they currently have a mini & maxi micro. they are 5 & 6yrs but want a stunt one so they can go on the skate park. i feel like i have been looking forever & can't make up my mind. looking to spend about £70 each. anybody have an older dc who can suggest a good one which will last? thanx

I am bumping this as I have the same query.

DS is nearly 8. Has the Maxi micro but wants a stunt scooter.

My ds just had his 7th birthday and we got him a Mad gear Pro (2011 version) was about £80 delivered. So much better than his old Razor scooter.

The MGP pro is a good stunt scooter and I would say it fits the bill perfectly. They have much kudos at school too. Really hardwearing and no bits to fall off. DD has had hers a year now and it's scratched to buggery but still as solid as the day she bought it. Her Micro Sprite lasted 6 months before it fell apart. . The 2011 design is around £80 on the internet, the 2012 one is £100. If you stretch to another £10 each, I think you'll be pleased.

thanx everyone! this one www.skates.co.uk/scooters/mgp-scooter-blue.html ?
whats the difference between the 2011 & 12?

Paintwork and I think the official blurb said the newer one was a bit lighter. The blue one's nice. Good choice.

Ds has 2 slamm scooters, have seen a few of the Mgp ones about though. Think we got his first one from Kate's skates.

not sure if it's still working but code SKATES12 gave me 10% off at skates.co.uk. If that doesnt work 5OFF will give you £5 off.

thats fab!!! thanx WeAllHaveWings just need to causally ask the boys what colour they like best!

Has anyone got the micro stunt scooter? m.micro-scooters.co.uk/product/mx-trixx-scooter/. They're mini & maxis are great so wondered if this was worth buying??

Hi, both(7&6) of mine have a grit scooter...retailed at £100 each but as we bought 2, we had £20 off! The beauty of these and what my children love is they we able to customise it and have the colours they wanted for the baseplate, handles etc.

After doing tonnes of research (and having several email convos with a couple of online suppliers) for DS1's 7th birthday we got him a Razor Ultra Lo pro which has been excellent. Because he is 7 and is taking the jumping thing quite seriously we opted for one which doesn't fold as it's much stronger, obviously. You also need to remember they're a bit heavier than you're used to and the handle bars rotate 360 degrees.

Thanks for all the information.

I had no idea it was all so complicated. DS1 was never into scooters so this is all new to me.

I will make some subtle enquiries with DS2 re colours etc and order one over the weekend.
