WTD BMX Stylie Scooter
Bit of a long shot ? And not sure if i,m allowed to put this none D3 related topic up but here goes !
I,m after a scooter for my lad, not a motorised one but the ones propelled by his leg, and not the micro type faggot ones, a proper scooter that survives dropping off a kerb,
I,m sure some of you know the ones i mean and some of your kids may have had them in the past, well if you have one in the shed i,m willing to recycle it for you and give you it another lease of life !
I,ve tried the bay and there arent any,
If i find one on here i'll make a donation to the site and arange pickup, PM me the price you want for it please ?
I,m trying to respond to his need for scootering whilst walking the dog over bridleways and tails, the micro scooters are about as much use as an ash tray on motorbike.........................
I thought this more robust scooter would roll over the trail much better ?
In anticipation, Thanks.Only dead fish go with the Flow !

The scooters that seem to be the ones of the moment are JD Bugs or Grit scooters, ranging from around the £50 mark to £180 (guess which one my son wants), they are very robust and take the hammering the micros can't....If it ain't broke... Take it apart anyway, how else you gonna find out how it works

Npinks, that's the one ! Thanks I seem to have passed that one by,
I'll get onto that one right away ! Not sure how it will fare though as it hasn't got plastic mag type wheels like the old Raleigh burners used to have ! Which is so important "apparently"
Grunders, nope not them, apparently they're for girls ? Anything with roller blade wheels should be ridden with people in pigtails ?
Yuk girls, lelly Kelly ! barbie dolls !
Not cool at the dirt jump scene which has popped up over the past few weeks !
Roll on the start of the new school year !Only dead fish go with the Flow !
Chalky, if your interested it's first dibs, if not, anyone else?
Just waiting until the Aug bank hol is over before I advertise it....... always on the road less travelled 🚧
