I have 2 predator helmets, they fit well with adjustable pads and good protection in a crash
Please review Teamgee h20t.. thank you
@@TheLozzm iiirr 🤷🤷e
full finger gloves You're going to wear gloves It's got to be all leather all over every part of your hands and fingers if you don't want to be healing after using your hands to catch yourself as you fall or just rolling around the ground after you fall in your hands scrape on the pavement
I just buy $10 full fingered leather gloves and wrist guards that work well with my remote cut hole in the thumb if you need to have better control over the remote but that little tiny hole you cut in that thumb portion of the glove while it may still get your skin torn away in a fall and that little tiny opening the rest of your hands will not lose skin.... I have the hillbilly full finger gloves but they're not all leather and my knuckles got scraped down on the bone cuz it was just some weird nylon crap to make my hands be able to you know make it to a fist and then my fingers better but it just ended up getting torn away in a fall full leather anywhere always the don't want the road to scrape away your skin to varying levels up to an including down to the bone 😊 guards
Great vid! I use puck gloves and shredlights and have figured out a few hacks for them:
1. For the gloves I cut the right puck in half and it fits the remote perfectly.
2. I have an Exway Flex with clear 120mm cloud wheels. I mounted the shredlights by sharing a screw with the ESC enclosure so that they point directly at the wheels. This illuminates the wheels making you super visible to those around you. Same principle as the clear tail puck on the Wave.
I also recommend for night riders that you get a good high powered flashlight. It ties up your hands but it's not only for seeing. You can shake it at upcoming intersections so people know you are coming or point it for signal turns to people behind you. I've been looking for a good way to wrist mount a flashlight but none that are great so far.
DK - I think a vid maybe highlighting community DIY hacks would be super interesting.
HAPPY YOU ARE OK!!! And also very happy that you like the products!! Nice hat ;)
I love this. What a positive comment ❤ The internet can be so good 🛜
I'll add my Flatland gloves have held up surprisingly well, I still use the same pair after over a year of numerous falls and impacts. Their scraped up a decent bit but not enough for me to be concerned about their functionality.
When you pulled the zipper up to your nose you should’ve said (I need TP for my bunghole), LOL 😂
10:50 the crucial bit about TSG Pass helmets, he says it looks "janky" and "handmade" and shows good pics as proof of that. I'm definitely going with the Predator helmet now xD it looks like a helmet not like it was 3D printed in someone's home.
Dude I love your videos. They make every day better!
Only just come across this channel but already enjoying your vids Daniel appreciate the honesty too thanks for the inspiration
Good luck on tomorrow's downhill. Would be great to see the footage! Thanks for sharing. ps you're still my number one e-vlogger. ;-)
You rock. Thanks for the review on all the products.
Downhill skateboarding is something that blow your mind, keep going down Daniel. Thank a lot for your videos. In the past week i bought a Flex Er, my first eletric longboard.
Really liked your outro today!
“I look buffed.” hahahahha, I love it
Nice video dude - Not the normal bearing stuff your content and dialogue is great :-)
Great video. Keep up the good content
I'm glad that I came a cross a forum post that recommended to get a one size bigger TSG Pass. My size was between M and L and I went for L and it fits well.
Ok so it’s not just my head lol
Great Channel!
Great video. Thank you
Would love to see your downhill Skye session! Looks nice
I checked the price on those predator and tsg helmets and I was kinda surprised at how expensive they were. I just recently bought an Icon motorcycle helmet which is DOT certified for $250 and I think it looks way cooler, and I'm sure it provides much more protection as well.
i've owned the different versions of flatland gloves over the years and for the most part they can take multiple falls. they're designed to slide outwards so it will shave down the material over time . the only time my gloves actually ripped was, interestingly, when i fell like crossing the street at
Great vid
I use weight lifting gloves for the added wrist support, but i might look into glueing on some slide pads and tape 😮
Check out 1protect gloves. They are also designed with esk8 in mind and the plastic puck is replaceable. That way you arent needing to "pad" your gloves with tape.
thank you for the shred lights discount code.
*Generally I wear a full face helmet and bike gloves. The wristguard is a good idea but for every day use, for quick commutes and doin stuff in between, it gets in the way.* I love my TSG Pass but yes there are some small aesthetic flaws, some have more than others. I love the mirrored visor.
Hi Daniel, Apprecite all your videos by the way. Just my 2 bits on sliding when falling off.....I grew up riding horses & if you didn't learn to tuck & roll when you came off, you would be full of prickles & gravel stones pretty quick. I translate this method to eskate, which is where perhaps the MTB gear is suitable depending on what you're doing. I downhill also, but pad up accordingly knowing the speed I'm going at wont be practical to roll out of......I'm only pointing this out because rolling out of a fall is supposed to dissipate speed rapidly, & also protect your skin/appendages.
For Eskate, even going 50kms, knowing how to control momentum in a fall has saved me more than any protective gear has. Just a suggestion, watch a few parkour vids people & practice.
Again love your vids Dan, complete honesty all the way :)
Great content as usual!
Glad to see your trying downhill. I use my esk8 for downhill, makes walking back up that much easier.
I hear many saying your cant slide etc on esk8s, but you can and its very exciting and fun!
Gloves I have been wearing the 1Protect they have a removalbe replacable slider that is less obtrusive then pucks and great knuckle protection. My personal choice.
Try generic armoured motocross gloves if the full-finger version those those are hard to buy. They usually cost £15-20 too and have a slight slider plate on the palm.
For helmet I just use a motorcycle helmet, HJC C10. It's quite cheap, but well made and more than enough for eskating.
you convinced me with looking buff.. off to buy my LR hoodie.. lmao!
Not sure I'd want a helmet that had the words PREDATOR on it...
Trust me it’ll make it easier... jk man
I must not be the only one who thinks the tsg pass is absolutely not worth the price. The dot helm I have now was like 60 dollars that fits better (more and better padding) , adjustable air flow, feels safer (doesn't feel like my nose is going to be the first to break), and it doesn't get air in and doesn't whistle.
Which helmet is it? Bit late but I’d like to know
Helmet, Sir????
Nah. I bought the shred lights front and rear package and the 1st and only time i went out when it was wet, the front lights stopped working. I opened them both up to discover water inside. theyre 'supposed' to be IP65 water rated. i contacted shredlights and they weren't interested as it was over 90 day warranty .
They are bright (possibly too bright as they confuse motorists and pedestrians ) but only headon, anything to the side can't see you. The best bit about them is they mount very securely to the board.. but no one mentions that the stock screws on the board are only JUST long enough to get the nuts on.
Good battery life, ages even.
Im going to get another pair of fronts but only because theyre the best of whats out there... and that isnt saying much. 5/10
Another good video 👍😂😂
Nice video
Your right about the Shred lights hold white light in hand not board they blind oncoming traffic red shred lights at the rear is ok one charge they last hours
You should do a review on the Raldey MT-V31.
how deep are the pockets? would they be able to fit a camera selfie stick? for example the insta360 one?
Like your shirt
When riding I use my motorcycle helmet. I think that's the best protection.
How heavy is it?
Yea thats nice but I bet it's also pretty hot
motorcycle helmet is safe but it's way too big and bulky especially when you compare it to a skateboard instead of a motorcycle, it looks funny, kinda like you putting a gas mask on to avoid covid, I like tsg full face and a half-face for light rides I could listen to some music without getting my ears covered, also full-face helmet is really heavy not gonna lie when you are used to wear a half face
I ride euc and I reccomend a motorcycle helmet I be going 45 mph
Check out 1 protect estate gloves! They’re really good slide gloves designed to be able to hold remote with interchangeable small pucks. It doesn’t have the wrist brace though like he flatlands but they’re out of stock and don’t have a winter glove!
Was coming here to write the same. 1protect seem great and have the replaceable pucks that are a good size for a remote.
Well your helmet also have that gooey stuff from D3O lab with the non viscosity high impact absorption stuff and im still wondering if i shouldget the ruroc berserker or Tsg pass
Downhill is scary. It looks a lot steeper and feels a lot faster than it is. I feel like I’m zooming down and I look at the controller and it’s at 15 lol
For light,tactical flashlight with strobe button.Stay rowdy
I mounted two shred lights on my helmet and it works great. I’d hate to hold a flashlight when I ride
Daniel, what microphone are you attaching by your neck? I have the rx100v and I love the perfomance of your lavalier (i think it is lavalier?)
It’s a Røde Wireless Go (links in description)
Hey i'm a little late but is the avitar v2 from new olders a good helmet?
@6:45 how do you hold a flashlight when you are goofy ( right leg in front) and holding a right hand only remote in your right arm (front arm). Board lights is the only way to go.
Switch to euc..and there will be no remote..love your videos even though I only ride eucs.
Yes more downhill videos!
The shredlights I have light up the way just fine for me. On max brightness these things are like high beams. I ride in the forest at night without issue.
I guess you have big wheels. I mostly use smaller/medium size wheels so was basing my experience from that. Have to watch out for rocks and crevices, etc.
@@DanielKwan I use either 100mm or 165mm with the shred lights. The reason i don't like using a flashlight is I like to have one hand free. A headlight is a nice addition to the shred lights but not necessary.
I have 2 units of TSG pass. One with clear and mirrored lens. The screws holding the lens looks and feels fragile. 😅
I have the original flatland gloves and after multiple bales and slides the plastic pads are still good.
Like the new wrist guard idea, looks good - unlike the tape you put on them...???😉
Oh really, good to know. I haven’t been able to find pics or videos of these gloves during/after slides.
@@DanielKwan the tape looks really janky. The gloves look nice.
@@DanielKwan as you say, they won't handle sliding but are more than adequate for the job.
This v2 looks much better than the originals. Enjoy 😊
I've had to bail with the original flatland gloves a couple of times too and they're a little scratched but very far from being damaged. I think they'll last a long time. I don't plan on falling with them very much though lol. I also have the new pair you showed but the old ones still work so I haven't had to use them yet.
Do you have level 1 or 2 pads in your jacket? Also what size jacket did you get, you are the same weight as me
I have size M, lvl 1 in the black hoodie and lvl 2 in the green jacket.
3:22 That's not the Dkwan I know ?
Do you go one size up for lazyrolling? what size do you wear?
I wear M. About right for me, 182cm, 75kg.
They should include a flashlight in the controller.
Which mounts work best for the X1 Max Riot in your experience? @Daniel Kwan
i use the standard mounts on my max, seem to work well and dont get in the way
If you have multiple boards you need a shit load of mounts, shred light mounts
hey daniel, i know this video came out ages ago but i noticed your still replying to comments
just wondering if you still have or remember who made that board rack you have behind you in this video
im struggling to find a rack appropriate for storing all my boards as they are all either way too small or wall mounted and i cant have that unfortunately
It was a rack I found on Taobao (China only). You may wanna look into Exway’s rack that they released recently. Holds up to 10 boards plus accessories.
The exway is tempting but that rack is a lot more low profile and looks wide enough to accommodate wakeboards and skis/snowboards which is why I've been trying to find one like it
Do more downhill videos Daniel!
Seems like putting tape over the sliders is counterproductive as you decreasing their effectiveness. You're supposed to side, the tape may provide more friction an will "catch" the surface. Just my opinion. Stay safe!
How about the old predator DH-6 helmet. It's a lot cheaper
I've got tickets really good headlights on my boards that are tied into the battery but they still never do anywhere close to as good job as just holding a $20 high lumen Amazon job flashlight in your hand while you're riding if you're riding at night get a good flashlight maybe an extra battery good flashlight you can hold in your hand What you're riding in of course you're not remote hand anyway They at any light I've ever tried doesn't come close to just holding a decent flashlight
Can you PLEASE give us shredlight alternative ideas, shredlights are too expensive
Lots of cheap lights available for bicycles.
In boarding sports its not the hands you should worry about too much it is the wrist that takes the impact. In truth the gloves aren't enough. Rather where wrist protectors.
How are fingerless gloves safe?
Where do I get one of those shirts!?😂
If your going to get a full face helmet I would just go with a motorcycle helmet because it’s going to be more well padded then the tsg helmets and it’s meant for falling off a vehicle that’s much more dangerous then a eskate board so when u do fall off your eskate your head is going to thank you. Same thing with the gloves. Only biker gear j wouldn’t get is jacket j would much rather have a padded down jacket then a regular old leather jacket.
The gloves would have been 100% if they:
1) Used less synthetics (at least they look like synthetics) synth NEVER lasts as long as natural leathers.
2) They should have made that entire gray area: "pucks" and panel velcro backed and replaceable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have no problems with the Shred Lights being what they are, but I wish they had user replaceable batteries (18650, 21700) so that you could take spare batteries with you and replace them if needed. And lights with user replaceable batteries don't preclude them from good IPX ratings.
If you need more robust lighting for lighting up the road:
Outbound Lighting Evo for the deck (still waiting for release of the GoPro mount in another 4-6 weeks) even though the light is out now.
Outbound Lighting Hangover mounted on the helmet with a GoPro quick-mount on the helmet.
Originally from the biking world, but nothing wrong with a bit of cross-pollination...

You most likely did not get the wrong size of helmet for the TSG, it probably was just not made for your head. I know I am quite late.
2 big downsides of lazyrolling jacket: 1.darker colors while riding at night is bad..2. no chest protection
The logo looked more like a cassette tape.
Just seeing the gloves..it can still use some work. More wrist less hands.
Now I look like I play sports. 🤣🤣🤣 I need that as my text notification.
if you pair kieran t-shirt with meepo board you'll get unlimited battery life 😂
Having one size shell for the helmet means they cheaped out.
You got a bad helmet from them! I got all the color ways only had to send 1 back because i wrecked and the cranium piece cracked
Clap.
Ranger x3 review?
does that down hill girl have a channel :O
You to play sports you skateboard right? That's a sport
#SurprisedRobotFace
the jacket is really expensive...
可愛的妹子
Don't buy a helmet that comes in one size! A helmet must be snug but comfortable!
How about getting the skills and working out how to ride without falling
This is such a stupid thing to say
Gear? 🤣🤣🤣
First?!
Yes?
