    I'm a year into it with my bamboo GTR and it's completely changed my life.
    Your board literally saved my life, depression was getting so bad and nothing was helping.
    Then saw an advertisement on Facebook and my life changed for the better!
    You saved my life and I thank you.
    I'm proud to be part of the evolve family

    I’m new to e-boarding and have a relatively cheap board, I knew about Evolve here in Australia but seeing this story puts a story behind the brand which is good - I’ll definitely be looking in their direction when I upgrade.

    For me Evolve was a life changer and saver... just started e-skating months before heading to a burn-out at work. And riding my Evolve Carbon GT and getting in touch with the world wide community helped me recover from my illness much faster. And then getting to the World Cup in France 2017 and meeting all of the Evolve crew and community was ... don't know how to describe it, but that was one of my top moments ever!!! Keep Evolving 🤘

    I’ve only had my GTR for 2 weeks my first E-board and it feels like a life changer. All the little parks and trails that I would never bother to walk are now playgrounds to me. I’m on the Gold Coast too, last weekend I did the off road track that goes to the spit. I’ve lived here for 20 years and that’s the first time I did that track.
    Airplanes made the world smaller, electric skateboards made it big again.

    Congrats Jeff and Team Evolve. I've been a fan since my first gen 1 snubnose and have loved the progressions you've made over the years. Please stay true to your core value of creating quality products. Sadly, this value has become a rarity in our world where cheap knock-offs over saturate the market. Keep evolving!

    • @ajplant96
      @ajplant96 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude I've watched high end boards lockup and I've watched low end Hobbywing boards lockup, Evolve doing it every now and then also only looks like a more consistent thing when there's a big social platform and a grand scale of sales. It gets harder to monitor when there's more units to check, and the things aren't rated that high at all in regards to what the electrics can output and handle continuously. If people didn't flog the boards so often there'd be less issues popping up, Evolve probably go through multiple designs a week when prepping new models, they're definitely trying to address the potential for issues, if you want to see scum designs look at the wiring of a Bioboard or Bajaboard battery.

I have made some life long friends from Evolve, as you say, World Cup 1 in Caudabronde set the scene and the tone for what came after. Come 2021, we can all get back together for group rides and cyclopark events. Thanks Jeff and Fluer and thanks Andy and Matt. And hello all my Evolve friends, you’re all family.

    Just got my first e-skate for Xmas (aged 44!) - GTR Bamboo and been absolutely loving hooning and carving around on it. Lots to learn - and some orange bushings needed to hold up my 100kg butt - but definitely brings a smile to my face every time I ride.

    I want you guys to know that I love love love my new Evolve All Terrain GTR skateboard. Do to COVID I was unable to travel from Canada to Costa Rica where I get to surf, and then all ski hills were closed again to COVID. I’ll tell you that this board was a SCARY purchase do to the cost. Man I will tell you as a 56 year old woman, I fell in love. I got it yesterday, and I think I’ve done about 14 km’s already. This is so exciting. I’m a teacher who works online right now. I had an hour break and I went out on a 45 min break. It is amazing and really does give me the sensations of surfing and snowboarding. I’m going to get really good, and send you guys a video.

      Hey Karen, we are stoked you took the chance on getting a board and know you'll only find more love for it as you get more comfortable. Take it slow, work up the modes, dial in your trucks and get a feel for how different surfaces feel under your feet. Enjoy the work breaks!

    THANKS Evolve!!! Love the "philosophy" of fun, the feel, and evolution. Just hit buy. Bamboo GTR AT ordered. +3 decades of windsurfing/windfoiling, several years snowboarding. Love the carving feeling whether on the face of a wave/swell or deep powder. Looking forward to carving on the "endless wave". Outside of a few recent downhill runs on a mountain skate board a few decades have passed since skating a longboard. Feel like a kid again.

      @@contorta960 Boosted died because they misused a $70m investment to create a scooter with the specs of one that costs a quarter of its price, Evolve will be fine, especially with a market leading customer service setup. DIY isn't even a threat to them, only a few are capable/willing to go that route and there's not really any rush for the specs you're asking for when Evolve aren't marketed for the speed factor, their focus is carving. Motor controllers look more common when you're selling that many more units, and a lot of people thrash the boards way too hard for what they're rated for, user error is absolutely a factor here.
