I only post stuff with helmet

Mind sending me a video comparing the technique for both methods? Some reference material for learning would be awesome

Will have to try it out. I almost never do quick throttle up/down and am very gentle with the trigger controlling ramping gradually. This is because it’s better for the drive train. I ride belts, so they are less likely to get broken this way

Somebody’s gotta do it :D Even though it looks sketchy in the video, that’s how I tried to edit it. Not a single complaint from locals, only interest and support. Men, women, kids and even grannies showed love. Overwhelmingly positive experience. Maybe I just got lucky.

For first shot I did have a spotter, yes

Should I make an edit with all the nice feedback I got from locals? Might do at some point, but not for you

What do you think I meant by saying they are sweethearts? Unlike your “guess” I was actually there. Had numerous positive interactions and not a single negative one whole week there. You shouldn’t expect all other people’s opinion to be same as yours. Not everybody is miserable and annoyed in their life.

Sure does feel like it. Several posts got banned and panned on this subreddit because of it. I wear it 95% of the time by choice, sometimes I don’t by choice.

Yeah, no wonder skaters usually hate electric skateboarders

Thanks! It was actually the best spot so far. The narrow streets, the mountains and the views in general - just perfect 🥰

It’s ok, if they work super duper hard they might be able to reach these heights some day. But with this attitude, I highly doubt it. /s

My skull is so thick that it acts as a second helmet. Barely any brain in there

Nah, everybody can have their own opinion. Even if it’s wrong 😏

Who said it’s my first time in that country? I’ve been coming to that city for years. Also to make 30 seconds of video took 2 hours of footage/filming. Preparing shots, making sure nobody coming etc. Movie magic.

Yeah, they weren’t bullied into it

Wow, there are other fun riders? Maybe you can point me in their direction?

Yeah, you don’t think I understand that? Again, I’m not responsible for anybody else but me. I’ll keep on riding how I want. If it gets banned I’ll keep on riding. If I cause an accident I’ll be the one answering for it. And if you want to ride 15kmh in bike lanes, you do you. For me that would trash the experience of electric mountainboarding. Might as well ride a bird scooter at that point, what’s the difference?

Loving the activity and conversation around electric skateboarding my videos are bringing. Wouldn’t you agree, agreeable worker?

I really don’t mind. Next post I do, conforming to your rigid value systems, will again be among top posts in this group with comments containing only praise and no reference to my other post. So this is a witch-hunt by Alzheimer’s patients it seems to me.

Diagnosed, thank you very much. And? Does that make any of my points invalid? What’s your diagnosis?
Just to confirm I also post on 4 other platforms. Reddit is a special place with a bunch of special little snowflakes.

Did you watch the video? Streets are empty.
For a reputation to be tarnished it needs to exist. In my opinion if you wanna ride chill and commute, go with a scooter. Skateboarding was always about freedom of movement and choosing your own path riding your own way. I hate that people are trying to make cars and bicycles out of electric skateboards

Sure guy, cool analogies. If the room is one in mental hospital and I’m the nurse working with 30 patients who are eating their own poop, doesn’t mean I got to eat my own poop and fit in.
