Title: Mad Scooter Air!
Post by: Flatcap on February 03, 2009, 11:42 AM: I've just pinched this off Tod Anderson's facebook page so I hope he doesn't mind.

I reckon this has got to be THE highest air I've seen on an old school scooter! I've seen a few good ones, a nice one of Lee Reynolds doing a can can on a scooter at the Enchanted ramp which was about 4 foot out!

But how the fook do you do a SEVEN foot air on a scooter, it's just mental :shocked:

I also never knew how vert that ramp was that them guys used to ride.

Daz. :daumenhoch:

A guy called Mark Scott had one BITD with a forklifter stem/Action Zone bars,used to do mad airs/rail slides at Harrow halfpipe...
