Recently, Phoenix Pro Scooters rider Jon Reyes had a nasty fall when landing a backflip that resulted in a torn ACL. He's going to need knee surgery to heal properly, but he's uninsured and the surgery is about $20,000. To try to help him out, Jon's sponsors, Phoenix and Spokesman Cycles, are donating the full proceeds of 100 of Jon's signature Reventons at $200 plus free shipping from Spokesman.

Jon is a great guy who has inspired a ton of riders. If you're looking for a new deck, please consider the Jon Reyes signature Phoenix Reventon. It's an awesome deck, you're getting it at a discounted price, and the full proceeds go to help Jon's recovery. Check out the video and the press release from Phoenix below.

I get a lot of emails, Facebook messages, YouTube comments, as well as kids and parents in person asking me about parts compatibility. Nearly every question revolves around the compatibility of forks, bars, headsets, and clamps/compression systems. This is by far the most difficult part of building a scooter for people who aren't already deep into the sport. Because freestyle scootering is still a very new sport, a lack of industry standards and definitive best practices has led to a wide range of parts and technology implementations. While innovation and variety are great for the progression of scooter parts, it has made the situation difficult for parents and kids who are trying to learn about building scooters.

If you're ordering anything from Inward Scooters this holiday season, you might just get a little something extra in your package. In addition to being a supportive sponsor and friend, JP at Inward Scooters has generously agreed to help support ScooterDad by including a special ScooterDad/Inward Scooters magnet in each shipment, while supplies last. The magnet looks like the image you see in this article.

So the next time you're busting your knuckles trying to get bearings out of metal core wheels and you take a break to come inside the house for a snack, while you're standing in front of the fridge, you can be reminded of where to go to find great freestyle scooter tutorials: ScooterDad.com! :o)

We also have some of these magnets that we'll be handing out to people when we see them in person, so come find me if you'd like a ScooterDad magnet or sticker.
