This is everything! Group sessions are key. My first experience was amazing meeting new people getting tips and someone actually fix my trucks for me for better turning curves. I want to do a group ride in another city!
Something you might not know is you can convert your dkp to tkp by removing the second kingpin and mounting the hangar directly on the boardside kingpin it will make your ride lower so clearance might depend on wheels but as you've seen from the ownboard zeus it's very stable riding TKP configuration
*You never forget your first group ride* 😂 Personally, I improved a lot from commutin, ridin somewhere regularly. I look forward to the Boa baby blue wheels review ✊🏼
Man I'm stoked for them. Legit watching my mail updates. I need to do a casual AT ride and talk video. And the Boa Baby Blues! Group got me comfy with the board real quick. Now I ride 15-23mph with looser trucks and just coast way more enjoyable.
I was using 2 cat eye bike lights www.amazon.com/dp/B07XQKKS19/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_W648R7DRFXN2TNX3V6KY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and the meilan rear bike light w/ a 3D printed mount. Now I have a shred1000 in the front since I started needed my cat eye lights for my bikes haha.
@@jevgeniberezin9142 I've had no issues with them with most wheels. They hold well and have provided solid lighting. Biggest issue with alternative lighting is mounting options. But if you get creative or utilize sites like etsy then it can be quickly remedied. I will say this, I understand the appeal of shredlights. They are very convenient.
From what I know no, but people who have used it during the rain said no water has gotten inside due to the amount of silicone used to seal. It is water resistant but not waterproof. I have not ridden in rainy conditions but can confirm zero dust issues. I hope this helps man
Huge. This will sound dumb but it felt "top responsive" at first. Like if I wanted to go left I'm already left before I'm ready to go left lol. It makes you learn the importance of the right bushings and tightness for your weight and style. Once you have that it feels pretty solid
@@ian-wr1hk the Verreal has tempted me alot. Seems like a board that has a lot of mod potential and can grow with you. I still need to research the lycaon 2 more before I have an opinion of any kind
@@damiana4239 soo... what kind of bike lights are these? mind posting a link? i'm waiting for my EOVAN GTS CARBON to ship, but didnt want to mount shred lights on top, and dont want it below either. i like the way you mounted it yours. n/m. you actually shared it.
@@ryopoc7376 my bad for slow response. I definitely feel ya on that. I swap between those and a shred. Ended up with 1 shred when I had to swap em back to my bikes. I prefer the truck mount method more though.
Awwww shit so I hope you didn't ride tht lacroix or lacroix ss while u was there ....I have an eovan an went on a group ride there was a lacroix lonestar there an he let me ride it .....i had my eye on 1 already well once he let me ride it I ordered a lonestar ss the next day .....my eovan kept up with em but I had 26 battery left an the lacroix has 80 .....speed wise I did ok he could pull away at will....I had to have 1 ...if you ride tht board you'll do the same 🤣🤣😍
Bro....I rode the lacroix. Literally for 1 minute, I've been eyeing it like mad since then. It ain't even like the eovan doesn't have crazy range. The lacroix just has a disgusting amount more
@@damiana4239 dam congratulations u fucked ya self 🤣🤣 yea im keeping my eovan but yeaaaaa...my lacroix should be here in a couple weeks already got a 84 mile group ride planned
@@Ajacka916 lucky, I definitely will get one late next year. I want to try more boards so I can really feel differences... or so I say lmao. We know how that goes.
@@damiana4239 yea slippery slope i went meepo eovan lacroix ss.....I told Ryan aka esk8 mafia..wen I pass through so cal he can try the lacroix...ill convert him too lol..........wish I had started with high end would have saved money in the long run
@@Ajacka916 oh you know Ryan too? Good dude, I'ma have to keep in touch and find out when this will happen so I can crash the event at exactly 24mph and wipe
Excellent! You handled it well bro! Soon you'll be speed bombing like the rest of us, it was a good ride!
Appreciate it man. It was dope seeing the way you ride, very free and nimble. I've since then loosened my trucks to start practicing carving more
Would love to see a video talking about the different boards everyone uses and comparing them a bit! Keep up the nice work!
Appreciate it. I wrote the idea down and will def try to make that happen.
Chicago dangerous af, you certified now 💯💯

Group rides definitely teach you a lot. Easy way to get comfortable on the board. Granted my soul has a heart attack lmaoooo but I made it🙌🏾🙌🏾
Post mooooore this is all I been watching waiting for my hurricane D:

@@damiana4239 nice, how u like them bike lights on eks8?

Is this board waterproof? Have you had any issues with water entering or dust?

is there a big difference now on a board with dk trucks?
Huge. This will sound dumb but it felt "top responsive" at first. Like if I wanted to go left I'm already left before I'm ready to go left lol.

@@damiana4239 i believe that. i still cant decide will i order verreal rs or lycaon trx 2.0 but eovan is for sure awesome board.
@@ian-wr1hk the Verreal has tempted me alot. Seems like a board that has a lot of mod potential and can grow with you. I still need to research the lycaon 2 more before I have an opinion of any kind
Nice filming bro! How are the shred lights holding up being mounted to the trucks like that? They vibrating and getting loose at all?
Holding up solid, but these ain't shreds. I'm using bike lights lmao. Was too curious and figured I'd try that out.
