Sorry forgot to add patron names to the video this time!
As somebody who ate it HARD the very first day - while NOT wearing any protective gear - thanks for making this video! Hopefully new riders will heed your advice.
Lol same bro. "just a quick test" ='d broken wrist... freak bail. medium amount of regular skateboarding experience as well before that. First proper broken bone too. Got that out of the way I guess lol
I ate it after two months of building confidence, and working up to higher speeds. I think God that my injuries were not that bad, but they were definitely in enough to make me go out like Michelin man from now on.
I got an injury, without falling off. Apparently I rode so much that the vibrations caused a stress fracture in one of my foot bones. And because I kept riding, thinking the pain was just fatigue, the crack in the bone grew larger over time. The lesson, is that while feet hurting is normal when you start to skate to some extent, it might be something more serious, and you should watch for pain that feels like it doesn't "reset" between riding sessions.
@@DanielKwan Yeah. I knew something was up when I started having difficulty walking. Went to get x-rayed. Spent two months skateless and my foot covered in supportive tape. It healed very slowly, I really shouldn't have let it get so bad.
I’ve only had one really bad fall in my electric skateboard. However, I’ve had a lot of bad falls on all my other skateboards and snowboards, my instinct and my muscle memory has taught me to not catch myself with my arms and instead to fall on my back
I just fell yesterday (I've had my board for 2 weeks, still figuring out what I can get away with) and I was wondering how the algorithm knew about it. Turns out it's just the newest video
I just recently had a bad spill on my board gotta be honest this was the one time I wasn’t wearing a helmet but I ended up only getting road rash due to how I fell. It’s important to know how to fall because if u don’t know how too it can get a lot worse. Luckily I rolled so the only thing scuffed up was my arm nothing else was hurt. The most important thing when it comes to safety in my opinion is how to fall and roll it really reduces damage and doin it well will only get u a couple scrapes no matter the speed.
I’ve had one really bad fall where I lost grip on a puddle of water that I didn’t notice was there because it was covered by leaves. Always wear a helmet!!
hahaha Love your ending. Great advices, I am just now almost done my recovery on a fall that fractured my left arm bone. I was wearing protections and it saved me from getting worst but now I want more and better protections... specially for knees, elbows and shoulder. I also just purchased the hip protection from triple 8 along with their knee and elbow EP 55 and KP 22. Gloves is something im still pondering. i never thought the ones with the puck would be a good idea since the puck makes it impossible to hold the remote but didnt know you could move it down, thats good to know! Thanks again Mr Kwan for an excellent video, you deserve more recognition!
Nice collection of safety gear. I agree with the basics. 👍 For pads I am using G-Forms and gloves I really like the Flatland 3D gloves. Like having slide gloves but you are still able to hold a remote.
The padded jacket is my favorite. It saved me from major road rash. Mine has vents that cool you off in the heat and an extra removable layer for different seasons.
Another option for gloves are flatland pucks. They are shaped to fit most remotes. I love it when my backfire remote gets in the way so I use flatland pucks cuz the shape allows me to hold remote
Great video, loosened my trucks wayyyyyy to much to carve smooth and simply had the board slip away from me and I still have a ugly scar from it but videos like this kept me safe.
I just put velcro tape on the remote and then stick the puck to the remote, and then stick the puck+remote to the glove. That way if you fall it grinds the puck instead of the remote.
Just got the Meepo AWD Pro, it's a pretty sketchy ride which does force me to wear protective gear even at lower speeds, I longboard with a Landyachtz Time Machine and it's so comfortable that I don't wear protective gear other than wrist guards (I don't go downhill, I don't go fast on it, I have time to land on my protected hands if I need to. If I was going faster than I can push I would *definitely* be wearing a helmet and pads. Only used the wrist guards 3 times during the first week of longboarding years ago, but I do need my wrists to not be broken). Would recommend wrist guards over just gloves however because ideally you fall onto your hands, with wrist guards you reduce the chance of breaking your wrist.
THis a life FACT. There are people that love to skate and people that love the IDEA of skating. You will know quick which one you are. If you fall, hurt yourself a bit and get right back on without hesitation, guess which one you are? Falling is just a part of skating. Nothing like sliding across the ground at 30mph like you are stealing home because of bad foot placement or too much weight on your back foot. Great video!
Like that you called out gloves with pucks and the adjustments you can make. There is a skate school that teaches you how to fall by sliding on your knee pads and gloves with pucks. Broken controller way cheaper than a broken wrist
Thanks so much for this video! I was really curious about this & I think so many e-skaters care more about fashion than pads. I'm a skateboarder looking to get into electric for my commute. Your daily wear helps me figure out what I should get that I don't already have. Looks like everything is common between both except for gloves that can hold a remote. Probably best to try some in store in a longboard shop. Thanks again!!!
2nd vid I've watched. Lovin the personal safety experience share. Never e boarded. Just longboarding & now one wheel. The safety equip applies though. Thanks for your input!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my LazyRolling hoodie! I got the reflective one. Super comfortable (after about 10 minutes I forget I'm wearing pads) and extremely well-made - absolutely worth the price and wait. It might get a little hot in the summer but I feel much safer wearing it.
As someone with loads of experience longboarding and (diy)esk8, I believe its up to the rider. But personally even if you have that experience please ride safe
Great material, thank you! Have you thought about extra level of protection to include a shoulder brace to prevent dislocations (12-24 months to heal) and padding around hip bones?
*In eSkate it's even more important to wear a helmet than normal skatin as people lack the experience and skillset a normal skater would have.* New eRiders should especially be wearin one. A full face helmet is a good idea in esk8 for various reasons.
Hi DKwan, Thank you for all the videos you've made so far. You really helped me pick out my board back when I started about 2000km ago, and I'm still coming back for your videos to this day. Was wondering if you'll be reviewing the BackFire Ranger X3, perhaps a preview model anytime soon?
I got an e skate and never fell but i fell with the traditional longboard and broke the bone that goes from your neck to your shoulder on the front above your chest somewhere. So if I would fall with an e skate protection will help guys
The Bell has MIPs this allows the helmet to roll before your head rolls. (Thats Good Shit!) So it's not all about the detaching part. I rock that helmet in Red. Its SooooOOooo light you forget about it. It needs a little more view but I wear goggles so im already limited.
If you already have slide gloves and don't want to purchase new gloves look into flatland 3d. They sell a puck that is on sale for $8.99 that is shaped so you can hold a remote at the same time.
Totally agree with this video. All eskaters should watch this video first. I'm recovering from a broken ankle and bought all these protective gear after my injury. If u are into electric skateboard, you "will" fall! Be smart like Daniel and protect yourself everyone!
@@kuruptsoul hope u have a nice recovery. Issue now is that I get freaked out if I go too fast... I wanted to do jumps like the trampa riders but I think I'm just gonna stick to carving at a controllable speed. Esk8ing is easy to push the limits and falling off just needs a bit of speed wobble or bump on the road! Take it easy out there u guys. Lol
I personnally started electric rides about 4 years ago. Fell off twice. Once on the ground, the other time through a winshield. Wear your gear people. Helmet is a must, and knee pads. I understood that after something happenned. Don't be stupid like myself.
Everyone should watch this video before start riding. I am pretty careful when I ride but still i broke my collar bone and got some rocks imbedded in my palm. In a few times if I did not have my helmet on I would not be here typing. So the minimum is a basic skateboard helmet.
rider and DIY builder, my boards are crazy powerful and top out close to 50 mph. GEAR UP PLEASE! hip armor is more important that you think... even a slow speed fall is dangerous without gear. I shattered my hand falling at less than 10 mph... knees elbows wrist guards and full face helmet minimum!
One time I thought I was being perfectly safe, then some guy cut me off and I fell off the board. Even the expensive gear is cheaper than the x-rays and rehab.
Personally I dont think its about how often you fall but about what happens when you fall. I only fell once, still consider my self a beginner .. wanted to move up one of my kneepads while driving .. stupid idea .. started wiggling .. came off balance .. speed to high for my feet. It was a bad fall .. if it wouldnt have been for the helmet, who got a lot of it .. chances are I wouldnt be here today .. or at least in a different way. You only need one crash like that, thats basically it. Dont make this a numbers game .. the odds are against you. Just always wear a helmet.
Hey Daniel! Really need your help! What's the best backpack for the exway wave, I just got the one from slick revolution and it doesn't fit the wave. Really stuck now. Hope you can help.
Hey Daniel Kwan Please do a video about the exway remote.. Mine won't go backwards now i set to calibrate it and max speed is 3350 in calibration Neatrual is 1500 And on my remote I go to set the brake and when I pull down on brKe it says 1700 it should say 0 in calibration Its like the brake sensor isnt working Please help me dude :( I just got this board 4 days ago its broken already

On the kneepads that bend your leg: isn't this better for riding, as having your legs straight makes you more unstable? You don't want to straighten your legs anyway is all I'm saying
I literally went flying off my board today lmao, my thigh is all the way fudged lol, but I feel so much safer about how I had my helmet on like for real, if you are not going to wear pads, at least get a helmet!!!!!!
For pads and gloves, I toss them in the washing machine. Use laundry nets. For helmets, most of them have removable pieces that you can wash. But I rarely wash protective gear tbh.
@@DanielKwan thx dan, btw i reslly like ur content keep up with the good work 🔥 My questions is basically question about quality - i ve read couple of bad reviews of wowgo /problems. Is the quality good? I thnik that AT2 gives you more on that price range but as I mentioned abovd- potential problems (batteries/motors/ECS)
@@konradryczko Quality should be on par but IF there are any problems and replacement parts are needed, Backfire in many cases should be able to help more quickly as they have warehouses in N America and Europe in addition to China.

Good informative video and still fun to watch. You're doing a great job, keep it up ! p.s. When can we expect a review for the Backfire X3 ?
Great material, thank you! Have you thought about extra level of protection to include a shoulder brace to prevent dislocations (12-24 months to heal) and padding around hip bones?
HillBilly makes excellent hip pads. Out of all the brands available these had the best protection for your actual hip bones in my experience.
1:17 was the best
Forcefield body armor makes the best stuff if you can find it. I have their shorts.
Im afraid of falling and crushing the remote control, it's probably going to be the first thing to hit the ground. Enjoyed the video.

I am in my 50s and I've been skating my entire life you need to learn the skill of bailing and not falling
Hi, can you make a Video about the „MaxFind“ boards?
Thanks for sharing this. What are your thoughts on using kevlar jackets/pants instead of pads?
They have pads in them also. They’re good for protection against accidental falls, not for skate sessions where you’re expecting to fall repeatedly.
Is it ok to buy used knee and shin guards/pads? I know helmets are a no no.
the way you try on the helmets😂
So if i want to use an electric skateboard for daily commutes..all that protective gear looks like its too much to carry around every day. 😅
I'm in the same situation a 30 pound board is enough to take to class
Hey Daniel! Really need your help! What's the best backpack for the exway wave, I just got the one from slick revolution and it doesn't fit the wave. Really stuck now. Hope you can help.

How old is Daniel Kwan??? 😆... I considered I started this hobby late (I'm 31.. started at 29)
Why do you say the predator is giving you a false sense of security? Is the safety on this helmet poor?
I’m looking for a full chin bicycle helmet. Like how the predator helmet has a wide field of view. Any idea how the safety compares to a full chin downhill mountain bike helmet.
I just mean since it completely covers the head and outside noises are more muffled, you may be more willing to ride faster or take more risks than you would if you were more exposed and could hear all the wind noise.
Don’t know how it compares with mtb helmets in safety.
Do you use the full face helmets when cycling on roads? I do
Yes❤❤
I love helmets ! :)
Yes, i too am a victim of falling off and a bone.
Damn judging from the comments you guys might as well wear an iron man suit. I don't wear anything and I've been fine. I also don't go faster than 10mph and slow down even slower on bumps and corners
On the kneepads that bend your leg: isn't this better for riding, as having your legs straight makes you more unstable? You don't want to straighten your legs anyway is all I'm saying
