Premium Stunt Scooters at Proline Skates - Best Brands & Great Value

Choosing a stunt scooter isn't simply about picking the best-looking one. Deck size, scooter height, wheel size, bar dimensions, weight and compression all affect how a scooter feels and who it is best suited to. With stunt scooters from brands including Madd Gear, Slamm and Rage, Proline Skates has options for younger riders learning their first tricks through to riders looking for a more serious freestyle setup.

We've put together this guide to make choosing your next stunt scooter easier. Below you'll find a comparison of some of the key scooters in our range, followed by a plain-English explanation of the specifications that can otherwise make stunt scooters seem unnecessarily complicated.

The short version: don't choose a stunt scooter based on price alone. Start with the rider's height, age, riding style and experience, then look at the deck, bars, wheels and overall weight. A more expensive scooter isn't automatically the right scooter for a particular rider.

Which Stunt Scooter Should I Choose?

First Stunt Scooter Look for a manageable size, straightforward construction and a price that leaves room to learn without over-specifying the scooter.

Smaller / Younger Rider Pay particular attention to overall scooter height, bar height and deck length. Smaller isn't necessarily cheaper.

Park Rider Lighter scooters and compact decks can make spins, whips and aerial tricks easier.

Street Rider Wider and longer decks, stronger construction and street-oriented geometry become increasingly important.

How To Read Stunt Scooter Specifications

Stunt scooter specifications can look complicated at first. Here's what the numbers actually mean.

Overall scooter height	The height from the ground to the top of the handlebars. This is useful when comparing complete scooters, but it isn't the only measurement that matters when deciding whether a scooter will suit a rider.
Ride height	The measurement from the top of the deck to the top of the grips. Where available, this can be particularly useful because it tells you how high the bars sit relative to where the rider actually stands.
Deck length	The distance from the front of the deck to the rear. Shorter decks generally feel more nimble, while longer decks provide more room and can be advantageous for stability and street riding.
Deck width	The side-to-side width of the deck. A wider deck gives the rider more foot room and can be particularly useful for street riding, grinds and riders who prefer a more planted feel.
Wheel diameter	Usually shown in millimetres, such as 100mm, 110mm or 115mm. Larger wheels can provide more roll and carry speed well, while smaller wheels can feel nimble and responsive.
Wheel core	The material and structure in the centre of the wheel. Composite or nylon cores are common on entry-level and lightweight setups, while aluminium cores are widely used on higher-spec scooters.
Wheel hardness	Often shown as a number followed by "A", such as 88A. This describes the hardness of the polyurethane tyre. The exact feel depends on the complete wheel construction, the riding surface and the rider.
Bar height	The height of the handlebar itself, rather than the overall scooter height. Bar height should be considered alongside rider height, deck height and personal preference.
Bar width	The distance from one side of the handlebar to the other. Wider bars can offer stability and leverage, while narrower bars can feel quicker and more compact.
Bar material	Steel and aluminium are common materials in complete stunt scooters. Aluminium can help reduce weight, while steel is widely used where strength and durability are priorities.
Compression	The system that keeps the fork, headset and bars securely connected while allowing the front end to rotate. Common systems include IHC, HIC, SCS and ICS.
Fork	The component connecting the front wheel to the headset and bars. Fork compatibility becomes particularly important if you later start upgrading individual components.
Headset	The bearings that allow the bars and fork to rotate smoothly. Integrated and non-integrated headsets use different deck/headset arrangements.
Clamp	The component that secures the bars to the fork. The clamp must be compatible with the bar diameter and the rest of the scooter's compression system.
Complete scooter weight	The weight of the fully assembled scooter. For riders learning aerial tricks, a lighter scooter can be easier to move, spin and control. Heavier scooters can provide a more substantial feel and may prioritise robustness.

Choosing A Stunt Scooter By Rider

There isn't one universal "best stunt scooter". The right choice depends heavily on the rider. A scooter that is ideal for a four-year-old learning their first tricks could be completely unsuitable for a taller teenager riding street.

Rider situation	What to prioritise	What to avoid	Examples from Proline
Very young / small rider	Lower overall height, shorter bars and a manageable deck.	Buying a much taller scooter simply because it is more expensive or has more features.	Slamm Classic Mini Pro
First stunt scooter	Sensible dimensions, robust construction and a straightforward complete setup.	Paying for advanced components the rider isn't ready to benefit from.	Madd Gear MG 2 Obsidian
Learning tricks and progressing	Appropriate bar height, 110mm wheels and a deck that isn't too large or heavy.	Oversized street setups that may feel cumbersome for a smaller rider.	Madd Gear MG 3 Zen Slamm Classic Pro
More serious park rider	Low complete weight, responsive geometry and quality components.	Choosing solely on deck width without considering the total scooter weight.	Madd Gear Origin IV 450
Intermediate rider	A stronger deck, quality wheels and a setup that can continue to support progression.	Assuming that "pro" in a model name automatically means it is suitable for every rider.	Madd Gear Viral Purge Slamm Mischief Pro
Street rider	Wider/longer decks, strong construction, grind-friendly deck design and suitable bars.	Choosing an ultra-light park setup if the rider primarily rides street.	Slamm Assault Pro Slamm Strobe Pro
Taller teenager	Rider height, bar height and deck dimensions become particularly important.	Buying a compact scooter simply because it has a high specification.	Madd Gear Origin IV 500 Madd Gear Origin IV 550

Park vs Street Stunt Scooters

One of the biggest changes you'll notice as you compare stunt scooters is the difference between park-oriented and street-oriented designs.

Park Scooters

Park riding tends to involve ramps, bowls, transitions, jumps and aerial tricks. Riders often value a scooter that is light, responsive and easy to move through tricks.

Look for:

Lower overall weight
Responsive deck geometry
Compact deck dimensions
Appropriate bar height and width
Good-quality bearings and wheels

The Madd Gear Origin IV 450 is a good example of a lightweight, compact premium complete, weighing just 3.20kg.

Street Scooters

Street riding puts different demands on a scooter. Riders often favour wider and longer decks, strong construction and designs that work well for grinds and heavier street tricks.

Look for:

Wider decks
Longer decks
Strong welded construction
Grind-friendly deck ends
Robust bars and forks

The Slamm Assault Pro and Slamm Strobe Pro are particularly interesting examples within the current Proline range.

Stunt Scooter Decks Explained

The deck is the platform you stand on, and it has a huge influence on how a stunt scooter feels. Two scooters can have similar wheels and bars but feel completely different because of their deck dimensions.

Deck dimensions are normally written as width × length. For example, a 5.1" × 20.5" deck is 5.1 inches wide and 20.5 inches long.

A shorter deck generally feels more compact and responsive, which can appeal to riders concentrating on park tricks and aerial manoeuvres.

A longer deck gives you more room under your feet and can feel more stable, particularly when riding street or performing grinds.

A wider deck provides more standing area and is increasingly common on street-focused scooters. The Slamm Strobe Pro, for example, uses a substantial 5.5" × 20.5" box-style deck.

Stunt Scooter Wheels Explained

Wheel specifications are another area where stunt scooters can seem confusing. The most important figures are normally diameter, width, hardness and core type.

Wheel specification	What it means	What you'll see in our range	Why it matters
100mm	Smaller wheel diameter.	Madd Gear MG 2	Compact and responsive setup.
110mm	One of the most common stunt scooter wheel sizes.	MG 3, MG 4, Viral Purge, Classic Pro, Mischief Pro, Assault Pro, Origin IV	Excellent all-round size with a large choice of compatible components.
115mm	Slightly larger wheel diameter.	Slamm Strobe Pro	Can provide additional roll while remaining within a freestyle setup.
Nylon / Composite Core	Non-metal core construction.	MG 2, MG 3, Mischief Pro	Common on lighter and more affordable setups.
Aluminium Core	Metal wheel core construction.	MG 4, Viral Purge, Classic Pro, Assault Pro, Origin IV, Strobe Pro	A popular choice for more performance-oriented complete scooters.
88A	Polyurethane hardness rating.	Common throughout the current range.	Helps describe the tyre compound, although wheel feel depends on the complete wheel construction.

Stunt Scooter Bars: Height & Width Explained

Handlebar height is one of the most important things to get right. However, there isn't a single universal bar height that works for every rider.

Start with the rider's height, then consider the scooter's deck height, bar height and the rider's preferred riding style.

Bar width matters too. Wider bars can give a rider more leverage and a stable feel, while narrower bars can feel more compact and responsive.

Don't confuse bar height with overall scooter height.
A scooter advertised as 84cm tall does not have an 84cm handlebar. Overall height includes the deck, wheels and other components. When comparing scooters, make sure you are comparing like-for-like measurements.

What Is Stunt Scooter Compression?

Compression is the system that keeps the fork, headset and bars securely connected while allowing the front end of the scooter to rotate smoothly.

You'll commonly see terms such as IHC, HIC, SCS and ICS. These can look intimidating when you're buying your first complete stunt scooter, but you don't need to understand every engineering detail to choose a complete scooter.

Compression becomes much more important when you start building or upgrading a scooter from individual parts. That's when compatibility between the fork, bars, clamp and compression system really matters.

Buying a complete scooter? Don't get too hung up on compression terminology. Choose a complete scooter that is the correct size and specification for the rider. If you're building a custom scooter, compatibility becomes much more important.

Complete Stunt Scooter vs Custom Scooter

Complete Stunt Scooter

A complete scooter arrives as a matched setup. The manufacturer has already selected the deck, bars, fork, wheels, headset, compression and clamp to work together.

Best for: beginners, younger riders and riders who want to get riding without having to understand component compatibility.

Custom Stunt Scooter

A custom scooter is assembled from individual components. This allows the rider to choose exactly how the scooter feels and performs.

Best for: experienced riders who understand their preferred geometry and are comfortable checking compatibility between components.

Our Stunt Scooter Picks

Rather than claiming there is one "best stunt scooter", we've picked models for different jobs. The right choice depends on the rider.

Best For Younger Riders

Slamm Classic Mini Pro

With a 75cm overall height, 69cm ride height and 19.5" × 19.5" bars, the Classic Mini Pro is a particularly interesting option for younger riders. It is designed for riders from 4+ and uses a 4.5" × 19" aluminium deck with 110mm wheels.

Best First Scooter

Madd Gear MG 2 Obsidian

The MG 2 keeps things relatively straightforward with a 4" × 19" aluminium deck, 100mm composite-core wheels and 21" × 18" chromoly steel bars. It is designed for younger riders aged 5+ and weighs 3.40kg.

Best Value Progression

Madd Gear MG 3 Zen

The MG 3 moves up to a 4.5" × 19.5" deck, 110mm wheels and 23" × 20" bars while retaining a sensible 3.60kg complete weight. It's a strong option for an 8+ rider beginning to take freestyle riding more seriously.

Best Lightweight Premium Option

Madd Gear Origin IV 450

The Origin IV 450 is particularly interesting because its premium specification doesn't come with a huge weight penalty. At 3.20kg, with a 4.5" × 18" deck and 110mm aluminium Turbine wheels, it offers a compact, lightweight setup for riders from 127cm tall.

Best Lightweight Larger Deck

Slamm Mischief Pro

The Mischief Pro combines a larger 4.8" × 20.5" deck with a complete weight of just 3kg. That's an interesting combination for riders who want more deck without wanting a heavy scooter.

Best Street-Focused Option

Slamm Assault Pro

The 5.1" × 20.5" box-cut deck, welded front end, peg-cut rear and 110mm aluminium-core wheels make the Assault Pro a natural choice for riders who want a more street-oriented setup while retaining the ability to ride park.

Largest / Taller Rider Pick

Madd Gear Origin IV 550

At 89.2cm overall height, with 26" × 23" aluminium bars and a 5.5" × 20.5" deck, the Origin IV 550 is the largest of the Origin options and is designed around riders from 165.1cm tall.

Stunt Scooter FAQs

What is a stunt scooter?

A stunt scooter, also called a freestyle scooter, is designed for tricks, jumps and skatepark or street riding. Unlike many basic commuting scooters, stunt scooters use non-folding construction and components designed to cope with repeated trick riding.

What is the best stunt scooter for a beginner?

The best beginner stunt scooter depends on the rider's size and age. For younger riders, the Slamm Classic Mini Pro is worth considering because of its 75cm overall height. The Madd Gear MG 2 Obsidian is another straightforward option for younger riders starting freestyle scootering.

What size stunt scooter should I buy?

Start with the rider's height, then compare the scooter's overall height, ride height and handlebar dimensions. A scooter should feel controllable rather than simply being as tall as possible. For specific models, always check the manufacturer's recommended rider height.

Are bigger stunt scooters better?

Not necessarily. Larger decks and bars can provide more room and stability, but a smaller rider may find a large scooter difficult to control. Park riders may also prefer a lighter, more compact setup for aerial tricks.

Are 110mm wheels good for a stunt scooter?

Yes. 110mm is a very common stunt scooter wheel size and appears across many of the Madd Gear and Slamm complete scooters in the Proline range. The right wheel depends on the complete scooter and what the rider is trying to achieve.

What is the difference between nylon and aluminium scooter wheels?

The core is the centre section of the wheel. Nylon or composite-core wheels are commonly found on lighter or more affordable scooters, while aluminium-core wheels are widely used on more performance-oriented setups. The complete wheel construction matters, so core material should not be considered in isolation.

Are stunt scooters suitable for skateparks?

Yes. Stunt scooters are specifically designed for freestyle riding, including skateparks. Park-focused scooters generally prioritise low weight and manoeuvrability, while street scooters often use wider and longer decks for stability and grinding.

What is IHC compression on a stunt scooter?

IHC stands for Internal Hidden Compression. It is a compression system used to keep the fork, headset and bars securely connected while allowing the front end to rotate. IHC is found on many complete stunt scooters.

Should I buy a complete or custom stunt scooter?

A complete scooter is usually the simplest choice for beginners because the components have already been selected to work together. Custom scooters make more sense once a rider understands their preferred deck, bar, wheel and compression setup.

What is the difference between a park and street stunt scooter?

Park scooters generally favour lighter weight and responsive geometry for ramps, jumps and aerial tricks. Street scooters often use wider and longer decks and stronger construction to provide stability and cope with street riding and grinds.
