ADVCT

      ADVCT Scooters is a pretty recently started team out of Washington by a few friends who ride for Lucky Scooters, James Gee and Evan Yamada. They generally rider at a skate park in Sammamish Washington, but they recently have been going on trips with their team around the states. They have such a great team, including Parrish Isaacs, Blake Bailor, etc., and they are always releasing new welcome edits with great riders. Most of the team used to or still does ride for Lucky Scooters, one of the original companies in the game, and they made them what they are today. They’ve been riding for Lucky for so long, and they have such a great range or tricks and also lots of experience, which is why they’re able to keep up such a great new company. They don’t have any parts for purchase at the moment, but they sell apparel including socks, sweatshirts, shirts, beanies, etc. Their welcome edits are constantly coming out, featuring new riders with all different styles, and unique scootering personalities. I look forward to watching them grow in the future as a team and a company, and hopefully they will make some signature parts soon, and keep adding new riders.

Tilt Scooters

Tilt Scooters is one of the biggest scooter teams in today’s community, and it consists of 11 worldwide riders. Some from the states, and from Europe, they have a team consisting of all different styles and they all are so sick to watch. A couple months ago, they came out with the Tilt DVD and had a huge premiere for it. Having seen the DVD, I can honestly say this full length has some of the best parts of all time, and it is one of the most enjoyable videos. Even to today, some of these parts are better than the parts that are currently being released by other teams. Tilt also makes some of the stronger parts of most companies, and they not only make parts, but great Tilt apparel. The parts they sell are some of the nicest looking parts, and are also extremely durable for a great price. They just came out with new wheels which look very cool, and should be available for purchase soon. At the Tilt warehouse, clips are constantly filmed, and they just released a ware house video a few days ago. No matter what, Tilt will always be looked at as one of the best companies to purchase parts from, but also to look forward to new footage from their riders.

Isaac Miller

      Isaac Miller is from Cascade Iowa, and has been riding scooters since 2009. Isaac is known for his crazy fast progression, and for his ability to constantly break parts no matter how strong they are. Isaac Miller is sponsored by Tilt, Satori, and Sky High. Isaac specializes in big gaps, and smooth combos and transitions. He generally used to be known for his videos with Jordan Jasa, but he is now known for his part in the Tilt DVD, which was absolutely mind-blowing. He constantly releases footage in different video parts and instagram clips. Isaac started riding scooters because in Iowa he said there’s not much to do besides farming or going to skate parks, so he tried scootering. Isaac has a great mix of street riding, but also a good park flow and always finds a way to ride anything that has the potential to be ridden. He recently appeared in an Elyts trip video in LA, and got some really sweet clips along with the rest of the Elyts team, and he is always such a joy to watch. Isaac never stops learning new tricks, and he really has a huge influence on the scooter community, because of how long he has been riding for. You never know what to expect when watching his videos, because he is always trying new things, and bringing lots of never before seen tricks to the table. A video from Isaac is always looked forward to and his footage is always too crazy to handle.

Parrish Isaacs

     Parrish Isaacs is a fairly new rider to the scooter community, becoming popular when one of his videos was posted to the Inside Scooters Blog a little less than a year ago. He is out of Vermont, and generally rides by himself, in a low populated community, with a vacant skate park. Parrish has a real unique style, bringing switch tricks, new rail combos, and a whole new style to the sport. Parrish is a part of several groups and teams including ADVCT, and Basic Bunch. Parrish is known throughout the scooter community for his long hair, small bars, and his peace and love type of attitude. Although Parrish is fairly new to the sport, and a young gun, he still has an influential hold on the community, and has made many appearances in videos including the full length, “The Philly Files.” Parrish recently came out with a Spring Recovery video filmed by Michael Mankong, who took a trip up to Parrish’s hometown a few weeks ago. In the future I can assure you Parrish will just be getting better and better, always bringing something new to the table and revolutionizing the sport. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Parrish make more appearances in huge team videos, and maybe even get picked up by another team.

Proto Scooters

Proto was founded in 2008 as one of the first scooter companies to start making their own, reliable parts to sell to the scooter community.  Before proto there were only the little puny razors scooters that would break and snap the first time you would have to try and do a trick on them. Andrew Broussard founded Proto because of this frustration and ended up creating one of the most successful scooter companies in the world. Not only did Andrew Broussard start Proto, he also created a new type of Compression for scooter riders which now has a legal patent by the United States Government. As of today Proto makes Decks, Bars, Forks, Wheels, SCS, and Clothing.  Proto also sponsors riders and puts out full length videos including all of the riders every 2 or 3 years. The people the ride for Proto right now are Zack Martin, Dylan Kasson, Alex Steadman, Chema Cardenas, Elmer Ferriars, Jackson Manzie and Andrew Broussard himself.

Addict Scootering

The scooter company addict was created by Kevin Denmay after he created the company District and Ethic. Addict was supposed to just be an expansion of District with more advanced and different styled parts but it turned out to be a huge success. Addict makes handlebar grips, handlebars, clamps, forks, headsets, bolts, wheels, bearings, and brakes. Addict parts are known for being lighter than any other parts but still being just as reliable. The addict team consists of riders from all of the world such as Mathias Hoist, Tobias Mayers, Logan Fuller, Matt Mckeen, Johann Morreau, Michael Cajas, and Alex Peasley. The addict scooter team is known for being one of the best if not the best. Each rider on the team has their own signature bars and deck that is available online. In 2012 they put out their full length Titled “So- What” which consists of an hour of straight street riding from the USA all the way to Australia. People were amazed by this full-length because of the amazing editing, clean riding, and huge bangers.

Matt Mckeen

Most people that are involved in the Scooter community know Matt Mckeen as one of the best street riders of all time. From double whipping Wallenberg to truckdrivering Love, he has definitely made a name for himself.  Matt was born in Virginia and now lives in Philadelphia, recently he put out a Full-length street film named “The Philly-files” which featured himself, Yara Haynes, Greg Cohen, Logan Fuller, and Steve Fales. His part in this full-length was beyond anything anybody had ever seen, not only did he lip slide a 15 stair handrail but he did half-cab whip into a cobblestone bank. I have only seen people ride cobblestone hips or ramps in skateboarding but for him to be able to translate that to scootering has influenced many other riders to become more creative in their own riding. Matt is sponsored by Addict Scootering and has his own signature parts such as handlebars and a deck. Recently Mckeen has been in El Paso filming with the Elyts team for an edit captivating all of the amazing spots El Paso has.  Also he was recently sponsored by a new company named VEX which creates shoes for people who scooter.

Dylan Kasson

Many people in the scooter community know Dylan Kasson as one of the “OG’S” in the sport of scootering. He was featured in many scooter movies such as The Tilt Video, Proto Catalyst, Proto Armageddon, and Peachy crew “Honey and Jekem”. Dylan Kasson grew up in Oho and is one of the most influential scooter riders in the Midwest. As of now Kasson rides for Satori, Proto, and Sky High Scooter Parts. Even though he is not officially on the Tilt team he has been a huge part in the creation of The Tilt Video.  

                In 2010, Dylan Kasson’s main sponsor (Proto Scooters) released one of the most influential videos in street freestyle scootering history which is Proto Catalyst. In this video Dylan Kasson had a two song section that was 8 minutes long. After watching this film myself I was extremely influenced to film street edits and it has forever effected my riding.  The main reason I feel that I and other people felt so moved by this film was because of Kasson’s style of riding. In his video “Forefront” (a documentary about himself) he talks about why his style is so unique and this is because when he first started riding nobody else was riding so he had to make up his own tricks and didn’t have any other people to watch or look p to which is what led to his style.
