Micro XT

The Micro XT was a freestyle scooter manufactured by Micro.

Prototyping
Prototypes were given to riders sponsored by Micro such as Eric Rabl, BenJ Friant, Terry Price, and Martin Kimbell. In addition, XT Scooters were given to riders not under a Micro sponsorship, such as Luke Painter.

It is rumoured that each of the original prototypes were worth roughly 8000€

Contest
Prior to the release of the finished product, Micro ran a contest which would entitle 40 riders to a free Micro XT scooter. All entrants were required to submit a video to xtcontest@micro-xtreme.net and the winners would be chosen by Micro. Only 2 people per region were able to win (city, state) to ensure that the 30 scooters were distributed worldwide. The deadline for this competition was November 1st, 2008.
