Thanks Terry. Yes I have seen overheating - if I try to climb for an extended period of time I can almost certainly get the board to overheat. I take a 5 min break and get back to it - but it's pretty annoying. I actually just ordered a new product from Land Surf thats supposed to help with the overheating - the "stone cold" heat sinks. Fingers crossed that it works!
@@tanner32844 people keep catching the front edge and either bending the screws or stripping them right out from the side rail. The rear plate seems to be safer just due to the 4 holding screws rather than the two in the front.
I feel like that's what I tried to do in the beginning? Oh well, maybe it wasn't clear - I think TFL guys created them to attach to the underside of your board to make rail slides easier - but I use them to protect the bumpers from getting worn through.
I feel like this is a gimmick that does very little but add weight to the board I could be wrong but I ride the hell out of my board and it seems to hold up without them it doesn't change the quality of the rides and I'm not interested unless I'm missing something please let me know
Nope, not a gimmick at all. Protects the bumpers. Took me a month to wear through the stick rear bumper so I needed a skid plate to protect my second set. I'm not really that keen to keep buying bumpers from FM.
Mike great vid. On an unrelated note do you experience any overheating in your riding with the GT? Cheers

Front float plates are discontinued:(
Yeah, a few others have pointed that out - probably for good reason.
@@MikeErickson what’s the reason lol? I have the front and back one

@@MikeErickson damn, this is good to know. I was about to buy both tomorrow...
@@tanner32844 have you had trouble with catching your front float plate?
Hey. Nice video. Can’t wait for some GT B.A.N.G.s! I like your shoes. What brand are those?
They're Etnies - Brandon Semenuk specials. They're actually mountain bike shoes, but I love them for the onewheel!
Lol "that's a huge bitch" sound in the background. Love my GT, float plates are a must.
i did not know they made a front footpad float plate for the GT?? how did you make that happen??
That's just how they were sold at the beginning 🤷♂️
My dude you never did explain what the float plates were. I literally have no concept of what they do differently than the original skidplates.

SKIDZ!!!!
I like your setup! btw its not called "grinds"
Thanks dude! I like it too - especially for grinding them greasy rails! - was that right?
