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
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?
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.
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.
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.
Lol, these were not wobbles. I was just doing that to show my friend how loose I have my board setup and yet it is stable.
That is what you can hear us talking about afterwards.
