Hi Y’all, I live in the SW hills of Portland, OR.

I plan to support to Freesk8 with learnings from my career in cloud software eng. as the software and web services are being spun up.

I’m currently working on a onewheel XR BMS bypass project and some VESC related things.

Not that you will be able to understand a word Bill says, but he makes an effort.

Hey everyone, I’m Josh, love to skate, snow, wake, all the borads. Forgot to come here when I joined, but here I is. I’ve already been doing my best to be irritating in the group chat, and talk about my micropeen. You can blame Al for my supporting the project and annoying the kind folks here. I’m seriously liking the vibes, and you’re all way smarter than me so I’ll keep on sponging up the smarts and contributing the little I’m capable of. Cheers legends!

Hey Phil-

Welcome! Good to have you here. Some quick advice: don’t open a private message from @Wandagoner called “Me and my goat friends.”

Any idea what kind of board you’re leaning towards?

Yep, I’m half way done…ish deck is a EVO 40 that I’m skinning this week, 12s-4p 21700, trucks, mounts and drivetrain made by me. I have yet to purchase the xenith and motors. I’m thinking Maytech 6374s.
unless someone can talk me out of it. I can start a build thread I guess

I’m sexually deprived. I take pleasure from shiny things. Especially custom/DIY things.

Would love to see you start a workshop thread here and show us how you do the cool stuff you do!

Solid motor. (Glad you didn’t say 6396). People are also saying nice things about the newer battle-hardened Flipsky 6374, and they have crazy sales from time-to-time. I personally have and really like Turnigy SK3 6374s, but they come unsensored.
