Peg vs no pegs: what to choose?

Legendary rider JD Rand uses pegs, while our team rider and box-cut enthusiast Felix Fiilin does not. What will happen if they switch scooters and we ask them to grind?

Is it better to ride with pegs or a wide box-cut deck? You might have asked yourself the same question. The answer is: whatever suits you.

In this versus video, legendary scooter rider JD Randriambelson aka JD Rand and our team rider Felix Fiilin try to determine whether it's better to ride with scooter pegs or without.

Grind away with pegs

Pegs revolutionized scootering. They provide stability and endless grind variations. They make a lot of tricks easier, and some tricks can simply not be done without them.

Pegs come in many different designs and can be made from various materials such as steel, aluminum, or even nylon peg sleeves with a metal core.

Pegs can be used for both street and park riding, and trust us, you will feel that grinds become way easier. You can find our huge assortment of scooter pegs right here.

Perfect for the street and the park

So why shouldn't you ride peg-less? Enter the box-cut deck. Decks such as the Tilt Theory Deck are super wide, providing great stability and plenty of grind surface, even on the boxed ends.

If you are into doing Ice Picks and 5.0 grinds, the box-cut decks are a perfect choice. It goes without saying that the deck weighs more, but this also means it’s more durable than a “classic” narrow park deck.

The boxed decks are used by both park and street riders but are especially popular among street riders. You can find all our boxed decks right here.
