Living on the flats in Holland, the SBX is worth every penny for me ✌️ had some V1 troubles before... been riding a V2 for over a year now and it's holding up great!
It's a tough one, I bought one as the price wasn't an issue as I earn that and more weekly from my business. I was too worried about hurting myself in the learning period so sold it and use my e scooter or boosted e skateboard instead
Amazing, I used to be a liftie and snowboarding was my passion, not been for over a decade now tho :( i came here to see if i should buy a summerboard but i cant really afford one, then thanks to your vid i discovered theres such a thing as a Freebord! and i can just about afford one of those, amazing cant thank you enough. Subscribed for more too, great job!
hey im in the vid ! so cool ! I Also the big point for me is the big and smooth center wheels... i cannot go back to regular rollerblade wheels after. But yeah 2k that's a budget...
I'm living in flat area so summerboard is a must when traveling in my city when I want my snowboard feeling. But I bough it 500€ with a fault battery 😅 So yeah it's very expensive regarding problems a lot of people have.
Yeah it is pricey, I think their support has improved (if you buy new) so you’ll get a well functioning board for at least 2 years. I think it’s worth the money but the price is completely out of reach for a lot of people!
Totally valid way to go, V2 solved a lot of problems but waiting for the next gen is a decent shout still. 👍 You could pick up a freebord, learn that and then youll know how to Summerboard when you do pick one up 👌
As someone who tried a freeboard but struggled and wants to learn, with the hopes of learning to snowboard one day. lives somewhere quite flat, but not the best roads, would you say it’s a good device to learn on, when compared to the freeboard? I currently ride a VESC onewheel, but it’s obviously quite different.
Just wanted to pop in for a sec and say the financing deal has 0% for 12 months. So in the sense of if your good enough with money to buy it and pay over the 12 months it can be a great way to manage cash flow. That said most arent. And your math is mostly right just after that 12 months. It would work out to be a little over $4.30 a day at 1600 over a year to pay off.
I'd be surprised if they give a 12 month $1600 loan at 0% APR for everyone who applied, loans tend to be means tested to reduce risk for the lender. It's nice to hear your thoughts though!
@easy_riders yeah looking closer they do say up to 12 months 😂 anyways great video been debating a summerboard and this was a great unbiased take and the $1 a day is a ridiculous and misleading ad
Yeah I think that could be right for most people, Summerboards also have a steep learning curve and so I'm sure a lot of people won't even enjoy the SBX.
As someone who's been riding a summerboard for nearly a year now I can confidently say it's been one of the best purchases I've made. I've lost a solid 20 pounds just riding around my city and carving concrete. It's been an absolute pain in the ass to learn, but feels amazing once you get it.
Its the random "sticking" that i get from the centre wheels for me. Just makes it really dangerous. Pretty sure you had a similar issues in one of your older videos.
i think its the opposite. i've got long email chains between summerboard and customers i've made friends with on the reddit forum. people waiting for months and months for parts either under warranty or already paid for - in some cases over 6 months - and while aaron came on the forum over and over saying 'every customer's issues get taken care of personally by me' - these folks won't say a word publicly because they want their board to work again one day and not be out of $2K@@easy_riders
@@Flymingu mm so I did a Summerboard, Freebord, Snowboard comparison recently you might find helpful. I would recommend a second hand freebord, even if you dont have many hills you can learn in a skatepark/light slopes and once you know how to freebord id consider a summerboard. It alsp depends how much $2000 is worth to you, for me it's hard to justify but each to their own. I hope this helps! 👌

High quality video dude, loving the background music and the backdrop, keep it up
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! 🏂
Expensive is relative compared to traveling to a mountain with hotel and lift tickets.

Amazing, Im glad you committed to get a Freebord. Stoked to hear how you find it!
hey im in the vid ! so cool ! I Also the big point for me is the big and smooth center wheels... i cannot go back to regular rollerblade wheels after. But yeah 2k that's a budget...
Yeah, there's not enough 16:9 videos of you on the SBX through Paris!
The smooth center wheels are so much nicer. 👌
@@easy_riders that's right ! There is on some Facebook group I guess but I do more drones in 16:9 format than summerboard

The fact that hooks are 400$ proves its not worth it
You have a point..
I want this soo bad but it's too expensive for weak support.... batteries are 300 and it's not waterproof
Yeah it is pricey, I think their support has improved (if you buy new) so you’ll get a well functioning board for at least 2 years. I think it’s worth the money but the price is completely out of reach for a lot of people!
Imagine a car that comes with a hand rail instead of seatbelts by default
Ahah it is a bit like that 😂
HIT EM WITH THE MATH ❤😂
I'm still convinced I must be mistaken... but the numbers don't lie 😂
I'll wait for the next edition. Count me out.

I mean it's less similar to snowboarding than freebording is but I guess if you dont have any slopes near you it's the best option!
No way it is worth that much. Can you still have fun and tell yourself it is worth it sure. But objectively it isn´t subjectivly these views can vary.
Yeah I mean I kind of agree, I don't currently own one anymore but second hand ones around $600 are tempting 👌
ill stick to snowboarding

It looks fun, but not worth it at that price. Looks like a huge gimmick that will be in the corner gathering regrets by next summer.

Yeah, that was the breaking point for me. Makes it seem like a low quality product... hopefully its fixed with v2 motherboards.
@@easy_riders it is not. I had a V2.
@@Ctec87 ouch… thats not great for Summerboard. Do you still have it?
its very generous for you to think summerboard honors the warranties
Yeah that’s a good point, I’m sure if you publicly criticise them on social media they respond a lot faster!
i think its the opposite. i've got long email chains between summerboard and customers i've made friends with on the reddit forum. people waiting for months and months for parts either under warranty or already paid for - in some cases over 6 months - and while aaron came on the forum over and over saying 'every customer's issues get taken care of personally by me' - these folks won't say a word publicly because they want their board to work again one day and not be out of $2K@@easy_riders
Is it fun using
It is! But so are Freebords, and they cost about 10% as much.
Thank you
But also i Dont have Many downhills and i really want some snowboard like thing to ride in the summer. What do you think i should pick?
@@easy_riders but I also want to do tricks and spin around

Love that montage of the Art of Butters 👌
@@easy_riders yea! He’s an awesome buttermaster
