Better than injury-limited mode.
Waaaaay fucking better. I haven’t skated in over two fucking months.
This is a great idea. I should do this for some of my pathway rides. It might make me less of a menace to society.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I have a high level of confidence that when one of your menacing traits is turned down others turn up to maintain consistent volume
I remember last year when I broke my wrist longest 3 months of my life. No skating No mountain biking. Lucky my boss is a kite surfer and has had tons of injuries. I would have sacked my useless ass.
Tried new garmin app but it left a bit to be desired, this morning’s illegal ride is split
I like this idea, time to run through all my pictures, don’t have many of the old ones apart from build pictures
Second board, back in early 2016 and first time going more than a few blocks from my house if I remember correctly
Another
My frank boards on the local woods, pro tip, don’t buy these wheels
Sunset near home
At my grandma city on vacation
Another year and grandma, finished the hummie build just in time to take it with me
Who needs tire for off road?
Now with beefier motors at São Paulo to meet some awesome dudes
My small attraction to mud
eModility day at São Paulo, that I figured was happening just a few hours before
More off road on Gummies
At my favorite place testing these yummy wheels
The most important bag for the trip
First time riding on the middle of sugar cane crops on 6.5"
Again at grandmas, longest single charge ride so far with my cousin, 52 km I think
New year midnight ride testing the lights
Finally got a Trampa go places no board has gone before, but then covid happened and I’m riding just around instead of traveling with it that was my plan
These are the kind of places I need 4WD for @glyphiks
First version of the lights so I don’t have to worry with getting back before sundown
Doing a 30+km route that I always wanted but the previous boards wouldn’t handle
Testing the V2 lights so night can be turned into day
And that is it for now
Nice bro! I can’t believe the places you rode those gummies
I find that soft sand is one of the hardest terrains to conquer. Even 4wd struggles! Gear drive definitely necessary. I have snapped soooo many belts in soft sand
Speaking of crime runs I read that a girl got a huge fine for taking selfies at Waikiki beach during the stay at home orders. Can this happen to you during a esk8 ride these days?
good memory, i think it was an arrest and fine if this is the story you are recalling

i’m likely not at risk for fine or arrest, primarily b/c i live here and am wearing a helmet. its all about the enforcement so technically i could be stopped and fined if they were really motivated but i think the focus is elsewhere.
you will be my prison call if i’m wrong tho
That is nothing, I took 80 mm Kegels to those same places lol
Double posting here too from ESN (apologies @Andrew, won’t do that too much) mate, just because you showed particular interest.
First ride on my Hummie. Done. Was a night ride too!
TB110 thanes were vibey but awesome! Even goes up driveways no problem. Rough roads I can hear some vibrations on the board I’ll need to sort out, but smooth roads are the bomb!
As for the overall experience, I’m not used to being able to do toeside turns in one lane so that’s good. It carves well too, responsive but still stable, that said I’m not sure where speed wobbles would start, or even if the truck angles differ (I’ll have to check).
Power and especially brakes are underwhelming, but I’m coming from dual 100S Stormcore and 6374s to dual 4.12 Turnigy and 6355s.
Photo was after the ride, with my new close fitting Knox padded motorcycle jacket worn under the hoodie.
We’re not opposed to this at all, BTW. We are merely drawing the line at us poaching people or content. Sharing in both places is perfectly fine.
I’m just glad you had a successful ride, hell yes.
Safe to say my apprehension of thanes are gone. As long as they’re big enough, supermanning should be limited. I had quite a few rockstop superman opportunities with my 73mm thaned analog board. Not fun either.
yeah I think you have to adjust your stance quite a bit on thanes from pneumies as well too. If I have more downhill stance on thanes I noticed I can recover from wobbles due to road imperfections like manholes, ect, a lot better.
I am a mongo pushing weirdo that rides with a posi/posi freerider stance to the point where standard orientation bindings fuck me up. I’m still working on a better solution for rotating my rear binding just a bit further forward than I can currently get it.
