I've tried this before.

Because of the very small standing platform on most scooters, it's really hard to get a nice tuck going. And when you get into the truck, the ride gets very twitchy. I guess my flatspotted wheel didn't help either...

But if you want to, go kick some ass on that scooter!!!!!!!!!

if you were to do it with a normal scooter, you would probably want new bearings because stock bearings are crap.
