![6 TIPS to cruise through urban obstacles | [ LONGBOARD TALK EP.3 ]](/img/n.gif)
Finally a dude who knows how to balance the audio. So nice to hear someone that doesn't sound like they're talking into a pop can
BTW, the cleanest and most understandable accent and diction I have heard in my life. Please keep share your experiences. Thanks
True but i just love that British accent. Reminds me of tv shows of the 80's when much of it was from England
@@eyeheisenberg2278 I'm sensing Aussie
you sound like my dad
Yeah so good!
Obviously havnt heard of Richard Dawkins, sir David attenborough or Stephen fry
Im broke but still watching
Maybe then LDP (long distance pump) is an option for you
Try the voyager neurito
Same
SAME BRO
SAME
Three years later still helping bring people into the hobby, thanks again! Cheers!
I'm getting into it as well!
I’ve had my first electric longboard for about a year now. For anyone who’s looking to get one of these for the first time, definitely take this man’s words. Most thorough and well thought of analysis out here!
give me it or else
I will do nothing😡
By my own experience e-boards for urban areas should have inflated tires, even if 99% of street surface is smoth, there is 1% gap that you might not see like small stones, gaps, screws, steel balls especially if you run fast. With hard-rubber whells those obstacles force your deck to stop instantly, but because of Newton's law your body continues 'the journey' that ends badly.
Couldn't agree more and I ride on a normal high end push board
My dad said that about traveling by longboard on a sidewalk by a road just outside my suburban neighborhood, even. One little rock and I'd be lying on the road in front of cars at 45 mph. I'm going to have to look into inflatable tires for my first electric longboard
Happened to me and I dislocated my shoulder
i ride streets everywhere, anything 97 or bigger should just ride over most of everything lol. i've ran over glass bottles, massive pine cones, wheel size gaps, rocks. every now and then maybe a rock jams a gear. mind you my wheels look like swiss cheese now lol
Why does this video have that little likes. He used time and money to help everyone else so we don’t make the same mistake as he did instead we get a very good board because of him. Give him some got damn likes!!!!
Its not the end of the world. Check out the countless videos by others who should have plenty of likes and they dont.
Thanks for a very well done intro into the hobby. I'm in the USA and it all still applies here as well.
This is a FLAWLESS review. I learned a lot from it. Thank you!
I went on offer up and test rode several boards before settling on a night fury. The test ride is critical to really know what you like. Totally agree new sub
Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT points and video!!! I'm in Hawaii and have located an Evolve dealer here (The Bike Factory) and will be purchasing from them. Purpose of board is to supplement an already vast array of transport options namely point A to point B like bus stop to a business or bus stop to home. This will aid in saving on fuel costs as well making the board practically pay for itself in saved taxi/Uber/Lyft fares. BTW, a 64 y.o. here, been skateboarding since a little kid.
Great job on this video! Great quality
Thank you for putting so much energy and time. Nice review
Wow, I can say that you're truly an excellent reviewer with amazing recommendations. Honesty and objective reviews are best in my book!~
Great video. I’ve been stock to shorter deck but now i love y exway x1 pro with riot. Even the board is stiff The foamy griptape absorb the vibration
Awesomely useful perfect timing
Damn good video. Looking to purchase my first electric board. Your video was very helpful and informative. Thank you and keep them coming please.
This was excellent. Thanks for posting
I have an evolve bamboo gtx and a meepo v1.5 and the difference is massive the evolve is way more powerful and I have the abec 107mm wheels which make skating on UK streets bareable.
Very informative video!! Loved it :)
I'm a little late seeing this video. But thank you for this. I've been debating on buying one to get to work when my wife has the vehicle. One vehicle home two full time workers. Been years since I rode a skateboard. Thanks for the points and topics man.
Vault Man Just a tip but i have an electric longboard and a electric bike and i ended up using only the bike for commuting because you can lock it and don’t get dirty from the wheels when riding in the rain
Thanks. This video was helpful😄
Nice video. I ordered a Verreal F1 because its supposed to be the same parts (they all use the same just with different logos put on them) as the other budget boards but its slightly cheaper lol... I always wanted to diy a board but it costs so much to even build a equivalent to a meepo so I'm just going to pull my Verreal parts off and put them on my deck if I dont like the deck it comes with more. I wish I could have gone belts but the belt kits arent upgrade friendly which kinda defeats the point in a belt setup so I just went true budget and got a hub board. It claims its on sale right now but I think its one of those where it might always be "on sale" to trick people. Was like around 314 shipped, 350 better battery if anyone else is interested in maximum budget. Hopefully it doesnt suck, but I've heard their support is good. Still waiting for it to come in, I have a feeling its going to be a while lol.
Great advice man, thank you
My friend was leaving for abroad and he was selling his skateboard and longboard. At this time, i couldnt afford the Loaded Longboard,so i bought the skateboard even though i felt more comfortable with a longboard. Because of this, i started to do some tricks. This resulted in me breaking my forearm, bone sticking out and all. Never buying a short board with a kicktail ever again
thanks for the advice, im gonna have to buy my first board..
Great video dude! I am in the market and ready to pull the trigger on an e-board. After a lot of deliberation i am going to wait for the new Exway flex which should be on the market around march. I am also from the UK!
Video coming soon. I’d wait until we upload
@@averageeskatereviews Dying to see this one!
damn, you taught me crossovers back in the days and now were here
This is was easily one of the best board reviews and insights I've gotten from any source
You should check more sources then. All he says is buy one for 1,000 if you don't like it, buy another one for 6--$800 . Pointless
the weight of the e-board caught me off guard!! i got the boosted mini x in the mail today and it is much heavier than the normal skateboard & cruisers that im use to
Generic1995 type tingz how you like it so far
@Anything Entertainment I'm sure the mini s is a lot lighter with the smaller battery but the x really caught it off guard haha ive since also purchased a Backfire Zealot and that thing is super heavy lmao i be dragging that shit like its a suitcase. Never thought id be doing that let a lone mall grabbing them lmao but i dont give a fuck :D
Longborad style deck is by far a game changer!
Your voice helps me sleep man, easy sub
you are gifted bro and a amazing analyst
Excellent review very informative
Great advice and thanks for the video. And there are sssssoooooo many great board's available.
So many! Cant wait to make more videos :D
@@averageeskatereviews Keep doing your thing man. And be safe out there.
Great review, thank you
Great video! Way better than just an unboxing and a review on just one board.
One of the best skateboard reviewers! really enjoyed your vids! I'm doing a PhD in Cam. Ever had any problems driving around here?
Thank you! Never had any issues in Cambs
great vid!
Have you seen the BUSTIN hybrid boards? You can kick them or just Cruz. They have a top speed of 30mph and can go 20mph on a charge. Oh and weigh less than 16lpbs and cost $500 - $1,000. Would be cool to see a review of one. Bustin boards are made in New York.
A lot of people on the esk8 Facebook groups don't understand the value part. They see a board with the same specs as evolve and conclude that evolve is overpriced
I might actually create a video on this. I feel the same way. Spec on a website means NOTHING compared to actual real word performance, feel, quality and general value!
Evolve is over priced. I use to have the carbon gt now I got the backfire ranger for half the price and 95% of the problem with that belt system gone.
Considering it's a piece of wood with a couple of motors and a battery - it is overpriced. You can get a rally high spec electric bicycle for this price.
I had an evolve gtx, it fall apart after 400km ! It’s overpriced trash, wheels start falling apart, motor broke and the charging port of the remote was lose so the remote didn’t always charged even when the light was on!
rick lulu how do you like your backfire ranger? Or would you prefer another model? Thanks👍
Another great video!
Great review presentation
Excellent video, thanks!
I dont realize..This is Very Educative And Give An Big Motivation...Thank U Pro SIR ☺️✨
awesome video!
Very helpful review Thankyou very much 👍🙏
Good review man
Great points I just subscribed to your channel but I have a question what do you think about the Vestar V2 pro I’m considering the belt version
I’d be interested if you have a take on helmets - is a regular sb helmet good enough or should I go up to something like a ruroc or a lightweight motorcycle helmet?
I have a mini s boosted and personally don't mind the size but also have no board to compare. super good for traveling
Meepo mini 2 destroys that board budget and speed wise
Great analysis and good advice for people before buying an electric skateboard. I have some of the same boards you do (Boosted Stealth, Exway X1 Pro), and I like both. They are different and have different advantages, but like anything else (and to your point), it's really tough to judge until you actually ride the board.
Totally agree, super hard to pick before trying something. I hope this helps someone.
Paul Cahn are you selling any of you Boards?
@@facehunter504 Haha. Not planning to at this point. To one of the points in this video, I tend to use them for different things. If I think I may need to carry the board at any point as an example, I always find myself grabbing the Exway X1 Pro (the deck is thicker, better balanced to carry, as well as just way more comfortable to carry). If it's just cruising around - esp if may be on sidewalks, etc then having the flexy deck and and full urethane wheels on the Stealth is key.
Great review:)
Please do a video on how well the brakes work. I'm in an area with alot of hills so a regular skate board is too dangerous downhill and obviously no good for uphill.
Thanks for the video. I have seen a lot of adverts for a summerboard - it rides more like a snowboard than skateboard. Do you have any thoughts or experience on that product?
do consider though that using a fast charger can, due to the higher rate of electrons flowing, can wear the cells down much faster than normal making your battery have a shorter lifespan in general
Superb advice
Hey man I have a one-wheel pints have you ever thought about trying out the one Wheels I was looking at electric longboards before I found the Pint and then I saw the one wheel and I knew I had to try it and I love it
It’s called tick tack. No toe in there. This demonstrates your longboard preferences...I’m not familiar with your history but skaters like myself would easily think a short board it the way to go as the stability or fear or whatever it is that’s bugging folks (especially and understandably) travelling at higher speed. I’m finding your advice helpful because due to exposure to your videos, I was going to buy the GTR flex but my efforts will be to try the stoke just in case my previous lifetime of skating experience (as a child to now I’m older than you buy a bit) is going to be hardwired into my reactions and neural networks that might just find to much to change if already going to electric.
great video mate
I was looking towards the Skatebolt Tornado II it has great specs for being around 500 and the biggest thing is probably the weight, and a stiff board bc of the big battery that gives it close to 20miles range.. do you have any thoughts on it?
All terrain wheels are the biggest game changer by far. I live in Near Manchester and the streets are pretty rough so I find urethane wheels can be a bit of a bumpy ride sometimes but all terrain wheels on my evolve bamboo gtx with a flexible deck is the way to go if the roads where you live aren’t really smooth
How much did you pay for it my friend
is there a video where you talk about all the parts that requires periodic replace?.. i mean for the belt motors
Hello, have you forgiven Boosted for the problems with control/motors and is it all sorted now? Thank you
Most helpful video ive ever watched
Haha I watched this video after I built my DIY eskateboard... You have excellent tips for new boarders into the eskateboard scene like me... I decided to build my own because I can pick and choose all the components and know your own board inside / out. I ended up getting a Bustin sportster deck 35inch, Direct Drive motors, 10s3p battery, and hobbywing ECS. The total price was much less than a Boosted or Evolve $1200usd max...
How fast does it go?
@@BlyaCyka 25mph at second speed settings... Haven't dared to try top speed on the last setting... Seriously ppl should exceed 25mph on a skateboard lol
@@esk8Kyle I have the meepo v3 and I went 54kmh
Hey what exact esc did you use? Really want to build my own so now i am looki g at all the individual parts
@@timoeugster7809 my first post says hobbywing esc. It's cheap and simple all integrated for 2 motors with the remote receiver built in. I did buy a vesc but haven't had time to program it but it takes more understanding to use vesc... But thru the programming you can push more current to the motors therefore going faster. But after realizing how the hobbywing is so good already, I don't see myself changing it out
makes me want 3 more esk8 boards!!! but to be fair DIY is the way to go for a real battery powered murder board!
Have you tried any backfire board? Exway is great, but knowing that the G3 from Backfire I’m not sure I would continue to say the X1Pro is the best under 1k. Just my opinion though.
I have a question if the battery dies can I still ride it like a normal board? And also can I guy an extra battery so when one dies just put the other one in
I have an ownboard w2 and I love it. My favorite thing besides my pc
Can you do a video on the Meepo NLS Pro
I'm getting a Revel Custom dual battery 4 wheel drive um, 38" board. 120mm wheels. It's going to cost around 1500 but it has a 20 mile charge and can get to 28 mph, but their separate motor that can be attached to any board is 700. I really though paying more would be better cause I get 2 motors and a board and bushing and wheels, the ones I chose.
Did you end up purchasing the 4wd revel kit?? How do you like it?
How well do these perform on train over passes? They're on my way to work and it's steep and long since its more than just 1 track.
Very helpful thanks....
Dope!
Great video, what do you think about TEAMGEE H20T ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD WITH RUBBER WHEELS
Thank you.
That vine shirt is iconic
Hi, do you know where to test or try different e-boards in the UK/ London? I rarely found any store and if just offering one e-board or so. Would really appreciate if you know where to look :)
you really help me out. thank you
Brilliant video, mate. Sub!
Good review
Thank you
i feel the same about the board lenght. it just wont do driving some small half a meter board as a 1.95m tall person
Remember guys expecially with the Chinese boards there's nothing keeping you from putting whatever longvoard deck you want on it it's mostly just held in with screws and u need their trucks and wheels but their decks do nothing
thank you
hub motors have come a long way since and are now the better option. also you can use the board while it is off
Spoiler: Stiff deck harsh ride, flex deck more comfy, short deck unstable, long deck stable but harder to turn in tight corners every day ride be sure spare parts easy to get, prefer boards that are represented in your country,fast charger charges faster, test ride before buying.... daah for everything.
Stiff decks are more stable
@@jasonhushmonkey yes. Thats why longboard downhillers use stiff decks and cruzer/carving boards are flexible
You just saved me about 13 minutes 🙏
@@jasonhushmonkey I fr see u everywhere
Cool video thanks but asking a stranger to try there board 😀 not here in NY
i love your vibe
What helmet was that? At 6:45 (With clear face) What a awesome review, one of very few people who go very into depth, thank you.
Check out skydiving helmets some are very cool!
Thanks, niceeeee
your that guy🤣...i learned doing ice skates crossovers by watching your tutorial😂
I bought an exway flex and I can not use it like a regular board when the battery dies. I’m 240 pounds with gear on and I’m sure I will snap it with all my weight on the middle and it feels really weird when I tried.
good reviews agree with some of your points but in 2020 its a differnt game now
What cam you use while skateboarding drone?
Hey bro what do you think of Skate Bolt Board ? I have one Have you heard of it?
Great videos. If you're ever in Australia let me know.
Thanks! Will do!
Why would he... nvm 🤦🏻♂️
Hello, I’m intersted in the Yeeplay m1. Does anyone know if it’s any good?
💯 agreed...
So i think ive watched most al of your vidoes... now my question is: If you could buy ONLY ONE Electric skateboard (distace, speed all factors) which would you buy?? Thanks your vids are great!
Exway atlas pro 4wd 👌🏾
