The term you're looking for at 5:45 for the bouncy carves is called "decambering". It's very critical in snowboarding to have a deck's stiffness suited to a person's weight so you can easily decamber it (basically flatten it), then pop out of a carve into the next, or into a trick.
Nice! In longboarding, that aggressive carving is called pumping. Similar to a pump track or roller blades, youre pushing the board outwards behind you constantly. It helps with getting to the edge of grip/slip as well as accelerating like a tictac but it's better at maintaining speed around 15kmph. Carve to slow down, pump to speed up.

He just jumped, lifted his legs out of the frame and the frame paused, making it look like he disappeared, when in reality, the video just paused with him in the air.
I have found the ultimate board that does not have any speed wobbles, because it rides extremely low with a low CG, and has Reverse Kingpin Truck inside of double. They are called Orrsom Boards. They, meaning Trampa also supply to NYC with a rebadged version called "Kaly" - extremely awesome. Most of the world doesn't have brand new roads surfaces like the places in China you're in.
Personally I think that's where most people go wrong... Aside from having a flexi deck the wow go doesn't drive as fast or charge as fast or have a upgradeable ESC not to mention more wheel changing options. You pay a couple hundred dollars more for a better board.
Been talking to Wowgo. The deck handle slot is a huge buying factor for me as it's way more ergonomic. They got rid of it but I asked if they could offer it on demand. First they said yes, then no, now they're saying check back on Tuesday lol. I can't believe they got rid of it. Carrying a long board or even a short board is super awkward without that handle. You can carry it from the trucks but then you're dragging the bottom and have to lift up in an awkward manner and the grip tape is dirting and scuffing your pants and and the trucks are potentially dirty too. Or you can carry by the deck but then your hands are getting roughed up by the grip tape and you're resting the potentially dirty deck against your clothes. That handle slot is extremely important, it becomes ergonomic to carry a board and a lot of us use it as a commuter so it needs to be ergonomic and practical. Wowgo bring back the handle slot I legimately can't buy your boards any longer without it.
Even with almost no tail, you could choose to kick the board up easily, and then lift it up to push the button. It only took me 5min of practice with the Koowheel. Also a shout to al manufacturers... plz consider designing ambidextrous remote controllers. Thanks in advance. ps: Love your video's DK.
I have an Exway with hubs and love it. Considered buying the 3X rather than the riot kit or a 2nd hand Boosted, but I'd want to test it with Slick Revolution foamies etc and it's not clear how easy that would be.
Why not get an AT board if you need wheels that big? You’d probably need to remove the belt covers for them to fit and add risers to prevent wheelbite.
when you said wowgo3x deck is bouncy and not suitable for high-speed rather than exway stiff deck, i have different opinions, i own 2 boards, first one is with stiff deck and the 2nd one with bouncy deck, at 1st switched from stiff deck to bouncy, i have same opinion like you, the bouncy deck is not made for high-speed. but now as i already getting used with the bouncy deck, I don't have any problem with high-speed so in my opinion, those two boards are have different characteristics, and different handling style, no matter you ride slow / high-speed, the more you invest time with your board, the more you'll get used with it, and you'll have no problem riding high-speed
Good quality video very informative and I love the “coming up” part. I was going through a lot of videos and I wish I came across this in the beginning😁😁
I did a video where I was a little disappointed With the Wowgo 3. I felt like it was too flexy however I rode the board for an extended time while doing a Halloween esk8 video and I have had a change of heart. It is a really good board. I was going back and forth but I went with the Exway Riot. It is on the way. I am so excited. What “all terrain” wheels can one put in the Exway? I have seen some people put those type of wheels on this board. I know it’s more for just eating up bad road but I do not know what to call them.
Backfire does have a "beta" version of their app, but after month, they seems to just not release their app for some reason. (You know they are making an app right?)
I know but I don’t know anything about its progress. I do know that building a good app is much more difficult than most people think, and a bad app can be worse than having no app.
Actually the exway board does turn on when turning on the remote even if standby is deactivated. I tried it on my x1 pro and I don't get what standby is doing. There is literally no difference between it on or off. Nice video btw :D
Im thinking get 3x or ownboard w2 like my first belt drive eboard. 3x seems more polished product. Question:Orangatang pulley is included with 3x or I can get one easy ? W2 include them on pack. I would like run a set of caguamas on 3x.
Combo option includes both the belt drive system and hub motor system. They are interchangeable on this board, but I think very few people would need both.
Smh, i just found this video. I bought a exway riot a week ago. They send me a tracking # and it shows is shipping from Hawthorne California, is that correct? My payment went to a co in China.
Not sure about the choice of grip tape on the X1 pro but each to their own. Are you planning on reviewing Backfire G3? P.s. Thank you for sharing your videos. They always chill me out after a tough day!
Instead of pulling from the back wheels why not just pull it with the front wheels since those wont lock up ^^ ? Also with the new anniversary deal the wowgo3x is only 549$, do you recommend this over their newer model the wowgo 2s pro ? This will be my first electric board, thanks a lot !!
Hey Daniel I'm just about to spend money on my first long board. I was thinking wowgoX3 but not the riot look great also do you think the riot is worth the extra £125 more than the wowgoX3 ?? Whats the after service like for the xway ?
Andrew Yang likes data and Exway’s app has a “dashboard” feature that includes various measurements. Exway’s slogan “Born for Freedom” also fits Yang’s libertarian views.
Where would you buy extra belts in case they rip? I’m leaning toward wowgo and went on their website but they don’t have belts for sale. Do you know where we can go to buy spares?
Yeah just message wowgo on their customer support and you can buy it that way since it isn't listed on their website. Their customer support is quite goood
You can definitely push a belt drive board, you might just need to push a bit more. I have a video that compares WowGo 3 with Exway X1, which is similar to X1 Pro: th-cam.com/video/QrWzuk4LlYI/w-d-xo.html
Is it that hard to drag the board from the opposite side so the fronts are rolling on the ground? Seriously considering the 3x as it's less than half the price of the boosted stealth, main concern is customer service should I need access to the warranty
@@lansingphillips1208 no, I love the hub motors on my exway, super quite and easier to carry around, the riot give it more torque but with the hub motors is the faster board out there, so no need riot for me
Most people are too tall to drag the board like that behind them, comfortable as it looks it's a none issue for a lot of people so not a factor. We have to schlep our boards if getting the subway etc. I went for the Exway Flex as my backup and the wheel flares kill it for me. Stance has to be so close together because of those damn wheel flares. Concave is borderline too much too but it's the wheel flares make it a nogo for size 12 shoes. Hope Exway improve their decks with Atlas. I'm used to my GTR and wanted something with street wheels and something to ride while mine was being repaired so something else to note, Exway shipping is a joke. They definitely don't ship when they say they do, not totally fourth coming which is weird, thought that was just the government but nope Exway too. So just be prepared for a 1 to 3 month wait and make sure those wheel flares are ok for you before impulse buying like me

Another 100 or so isn’t much for quite a few features that improve overall enjoyment, IMHO
So glad to see a new video of yours after ages. I was getting bored watching all your videos on recap. It makes me feel like I have a board.

Yes, agree with you. The decks with the handle just run out of stock recently, we'll get them re-stocked soon, please stay tuned!
Okay I see now so it's just out of stock temporarily. That's not a big deal then, thanks for the reply.
Why I am so obsessed with skateboard videos? I am not even good at skateboarding. 😅
Me 3! And I'm poor.
I was like that, but I actually do skateboard.
But I settled with an Aeboard. That board is just amazing.
Omg you're Amazing Daniel! These were my two options I've been torn on!!!! Thank you so much!
Even with almost no tail, you could choose to kick the board up easily, and then lift it up to push the button. It only took me 5min of practice with the Koowheel. Also a shout to al manufacturers... plz consider designing ambidextrous remote controllers. Thanks in advance.

@@DanielKwan Actually ordered the new ownboard AT already. Don't think I can change the wheels on that either.

Which is better for everyday use? From home to work.
Yooo didn't expect you to make this video so fast. You da man.
Also that Kieran bit was perfect 👌

Man ! I search your exway grip on ali express i can't find it :'( do you have a link of it ? I loves it so much :(
Where did you find that blue and orange grip tape. I need that.
Could you try to get your hands on the Backfire G3 Plus
you’ve got great reviews. your channel would grow exponentially if you expanded to different products
I like the wowgo 3x just cause it looks almost like a boosted board
Alex Absolute I have both not even close.
Anthony Lau figures
Actually the exway board does turn on when turning on the remote even if standby is deactivated. I tried it on my x1 pro and I don't get what standby is doing. There is literally no difference between it on or off.
Nice video btw :D
Once again great video! I think your e board videos are the best on youtube!!

Hi DK,
Want to ask your opinion regarding X1 pro riot. Have you tried Cloudwheel on X1 pro riot? Is this wheel fit well on that Board?
thanks
@DanielKwan what is the length of the Exway X1 Pro Roit?
Can you drag the wowgo if you grab from the tail instead of the nose?
Also can you explain the combo option on the exway website on the riot ??
Combo option includes both the belt drive system and hub motor system. They are interchangeable on this board, but I think very few people would need both.
Board arrived today man. Less than a week for order date to delivery to Ireland. Looks so premium
CAN U GIVE ADVICE FOR SOMEONE THAT BEEN ON A ELECTRIC BOARD OR NOT MORE THEN 10 MINS ON ANY SKATE BOARD IN GENERAL
Smh, i just found this video. I bought a exway riot a week ago. They send me a tracking # and it shows is shipping from Hawthorne California, is that correct? My payment went to a co in China.
Did u get it??? The skateboard??
Thank you for the awesome content and the discount codes!!!
quick questions whats better wowgo 3x or exway flex er
Daniel, where get the nose and tail guard for the riot?
Hey Daniel, I noticed your Exway has its nuts and bolts in blue, what size bolts should I get for my exway? Thanks!
8:26 Yo whats these bushings called that are on the back of the board here?
Seismic Aeon
So is this a hint that exway pro one is gonna have an extended range version soon?
I have a question about wowgo and backfire. What would you recommend the wowgo 3 or the backfire G3.
Is there any way to help protect the belts from damage? Or is it even needed?
Great comparison video. Very informative! 🤙
Which do u recommend:
Exway flex or wowgo 3x?
Not sure about the choice of grip tape on the X1 pro but each to their own. Are you planning on reviewing Backfire G3? P.s. Thank you for sharing your videos. They always chill me out after a tough day!
G3, possibly. Not sure yet.

There’s more weight at the back so pulling the front is easier, like pulling luggage.
Personally I think I would prefer the 2S Pro.
@@DanielKwan thanks a lot!
All the discount codes have expired anything new?
Hey Daniel I'm just about to spend money on my first long board. I was thinking wowgoX3 but not the riot look great also do you think the riot is worth the extra £125 more than the wowgoX3 ?? Whats the after service like for the xway ?
People generally report good aftersales from Exway.
Thanks very much Daniel. Just placed the order using your link and discount code. Very much appreciated
Which one would Andrew Yang choose?
Andrew Yang likes data and Exway’s app has a “dashboard” feature that includes various measurements. Exway’s slogan “Born for Freedom” also fits Yang’s libertarian views.
How long does it take to receive the wowgo 3x
Which one? Lacroix Nazare or Lonestar?
exway with flexy deck is my go :D I'll wait :DD
Does the wowgo have an app?
Where would you buy extra belts in case they rip? I’m leaning toward wowgo and went on their website but they don’t have belts for sale. Do you know where we can go to buy spares?

You have no idea I'm electric either
Just get both and still be cheaper than some boards
Nice & Thanks :)
Wowgo KT $380.00 bucks even. Same ride.....only affordable
Shouldn't this review really be WowGo 3X vs Exway Flex Riot?
This video was made a few months before Flex was announced
Most people are too tall to drag the board like that behind them, comfortable as it looks it's a none issue for a lot of people so not a factor. We have to schlep our boards if getting the subway etc. I went for the Exway Flex as my backup and the wheel flares kill it for me. Stance has to be so close together because of those damn wheel flares. Concave is borderline too much too but it's the wheel flares make it a nogo for size 12 shoes. Hope Exway improve their decks with Atlas. I'm used to my GTR and wanted something with street wheels and something to ride while mine was being repaired so something else to note, Exway shipping is a joke. They definitely don't ship when they say they do, not totally fourth coming which is weird, thought that was just the government but nope Exway too.

Its called shredding on skate terminology

Hope this corona thing slows down so i can order my wowgo from China. Arrrgh🤣

Really need to stop crying about bending over to turn the board on...
