As Scooters go, this one has been a long time coming – but I feel patience on behalf of everyone concerned has been rewarded many times over.

Three or four years back I viewed what I felt was a pretty nice custom scooter with a theme I appreciated, having been ‘into’ the ‘Chillis’ since hearing their unusual blend of funked-up ‘creativity and spirituality’ through the skate scene of the late 80s. After contacting Jason the owner I was told that a few modifications were to be added over the winter, which then turned in to what was virtually a complete reworking of the entire scooter!

The work hasn’t finished yet either, although Jason now feels it’s somewhere like complete – he just needs to decide when to stop adding all his new ideas.
