Thanks for sharing this great experience. I just started longboarding at the age of 51 (with reasonable previous experience). You have really encouraged me to pursue my next goal, which is to do a 70 mile overnight trip. I am hoping to do this with regular long board and I am thinking of having the front of the board carry the weight of water and few cans of food. I will carry the credit card for the hotel. Thanks again (Good to know I am not alone and I am not crazy!)
Thank you so much for reaching out! So nice to hear from your Longboard mission. Carrying water on the front deck sounds very interesting, let me know how it went! And I'm sure we are not crazy, there might just not be many people that are going for Longboard trips 😉 Have an awesome trip and stay safe!
Biggest disadvantage of doing a long-distance longboard trip with an electric board in Germany ---> It’s illegal. Should the Police catch you, it’ll get very, very expensive. Other than that, great video and all good points. Nicely done!
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Please don’t get me wrong... I fully support e-boards and the e-transportation revolution, and actually ride one myself (in Germany, actually), but it’s actually a lot more difficult to ride these boards here, than in other countries. How did you manage to stay under the radar and not get caught? I’ve heard some horror stories from friends who ride, so I’m always super paranoid when I ride the e-board (though it’s quite stealthy) in the city.
@@nunyabiz012 yeah i know man. i really hope they're changing it here too. i tried to push when i saw cops but i'm sure you know that one already. I actually never heard of any stories but i barely know anyone that has an electric longboard.. On my trip, i was lucky enough to have had the company in my back and it probably would've made for a good story if i was caught..
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS after all these years its still illegal. Somone I know got caught and got his driving licence temporarly taken away, dont know for how long though.
This was really good. Hope your channel grows. I just subscribed. I just got a longboard after many years. At first, I thought about going straight into an electric one. But getting back the basics was well worth it for me to get one that I had to manually push which I definitely enjoy it because it's rewarding like you said. I think if you're just cruising and want to just chillax and be super low-key lazy. An electric one is fun to take up and down a flat road where it can be quite boring lol. Not pushing and having the motor do the work let's your enjoy carving endlessly. Overall I really enjoyed this video and you hit everything.
Thankyou so much for your amazing response 😍 It is just like you're saying:) both awesome but different! And electric boards are just so expensive, which is why I wouldn't buy one. Again, thanks for reaching out and taking the time!🙏 Happy riding Chia 😊
I just recently got my electric longboard and it has been a blast. So many cool areas around my house I didn’t even know about. And it is actually pretty tiring riding an electric longboard.
Your big trips are so cool... Iv done big trips on a dirt bike but a long board is just so crazy!! I watched your big trip and couldn't believe you were pumping and not on a electric lol!
How about this idea. Use a motor mountamd belt on a non electric sketeboard but instead of a motor devise some way to mount servo activated brake on a rotating cylinder. Would that ever be possible to make it work?
Really cool trip! But if you would drive just the electric one, build an electric board with a huge battery instead of paying such expensive battery packs 😜
It was an electric longboard made by mellowboards. I connected with one of their employees and was able to use their board for the trip. Couldn't keep it unfortunately.
I choose electric cause it will be a lot of fun but when the battery’s die just ride it like a normal longboard or just modify your longboard to charge your electric longboard
Yes you can with most. Some have a bit of a drag because they're driven with a belt, but some have little to no drag, because the motors are within the wheels :)

I watched your long-distance standard longboard trip and that was incredible - great job with all the footage and edits, too; great flow.
Thank you so much ! Glad you enjoyed watching it :)
I would posit a negative of electric is a lack of physical effort. (Gasp!) nice vid. Subscribed!
Yeah that's very true. Should've thought of that :)
Thanks Michael!! 😃

Very true. Thanks man!
Don't do it in countries where it's illegal i guess :)

I think I would do too :)
because you need too charge your batterys :)
Xtremev.h. f14 even if it dies you can still ride it like a regular longboard

A dirt bike trip sounds amazing too though!! thanks a lot! 😃
sounds like your first trip was like driving manual vs automatic car 🚗 lol -- great video!
Yeah almost haha. Thanks mate!

I'm not sure if i understand what you're talking about.
And what problem is that supposed to solve?
Sorry for the late reply btw.
Nicely done!
Thanks a lot :)
What was your average speed pushing the regular longboard on flat ground?
I can't tell you because i never recorded any data of that.
sorry dude
Really cool trip! But if you would drive just the electric one, build an electric board with a huge battery instead of paying such expensive battery packs 😜
Thanks a lot!
Good point. I probably would've thought about other possibilities if I didn't get the board and batteries sponsored for the trip.
Great content!
thanks a lot 😍
What kind of electric longboard did you use? What brand?

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS 800km trip on it, and couldn't keep it? What kind of marketing is this? :D
@@BloodAcidPro I was lucky to get accommodation, food and the way back sponsored. The board would've been nice too though 😂
ARTVENTURE FILMS how did u get sponsored to do this ?

longboard
yeah that is a great combination! The only downside is that your longboard is heavier but i think electric is really cool too!
What kind of electric board is that?
It's by the company mellow boards :)
nice video
Thanks a lot 🙏😃
Pogo Breaks for the longboard to downhill. :)
that is the first time i heard of it. thanks dude!
What board have you ride? Welches board hast e genutzt?
Bullcatcher von RollsRolls :)
Danke dir ;)
Und bei der e board tour?
@@letzzlukzz5804 gerne :) das andere Board war von Mellow Boards (allerdings als leihgabe von der Firma)
Gibt es von dem e Trip auch eine Doku? Oder nur vom classic board trip ?
Kann man e boards in Deutschland legal fahren? Sehr gutes video!!
Vielen dank !! 😃 leider noch nicht. sonst würde es eboard Herstellern bestimmt auch nicht so schwer fallen in DE.
eigentlich ist es sogar verboten. Man begeht sogar einen Strafftat leider. Echt schade.
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS während deines Trips keinen Cops begegnet?
@@shaolin7056 Ja, wirklich schade :(
@@hurehurley Sobald sie in der Nähe waren habe ich immer mit den Beinen gepusht. Aber generell auch nur sehr wenig Polizei gesehen.
Where do you buy long board in the Arab countries
maybe online?
Can you use an electric longboard as a normal board when it's off or has no battery left?
Yes you can with most. Some have a bit of a drag because they're driven with a belt, but some have little to no drag, because the motors are within the wheels :)
👍👍🙌🙌
😍😃
How did you go through Germany without going into jail? 😀
I don't know haha 😃 I was thinking that police would come around eventually but didn't happen
Electric 4 life
haha 😁😁
