I can't believe that Skydio dodged the cables! That was impressive! Enjoyed the skateboard too and that was pretty good on gravel even with the wrong wheels.
I was going to get the meepo v4 I'm so glad I waited 👍🏼 I'm impressed with this board alot but I'm even more impressed with that drone! That thing is freakin awesome! I know you have used it before but I can't remember it maneuvering around trees and poles like that 😃 awesome review Cap👍🏼✌🏼
Yes, the Skydio 2 is the best follow and film drone on the planet, especially since you don’t need a controller and can just toss your phone in your pocket.
LOL I'm so used to seeing you in drone reviews, but as an older 50+ fpv quad builder who has become interested in e-boards YT suggests this video. Honestly this was my fist choice for a value beginner board until further research pointed me to the Wowgo 3e with more power, belt drive motors, for barely more $.
Oh to be 20 years younger. Neat board, but at my age, I can’t afford to take any chances. I will dream about riding, but enjoyed the video anyway. So professional and entertaining. 👍👍
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I will be 83 this December and have already stopped riding my e-bike for fear of a spill. Really miss it though. Keep active and you will probably do better than me. Love your videos!
@sumner407 Hey, I know I'm kinda late, and this is unrelated, but I just turned 18 two months ago, and I wanted to ask what your advice is for life? Hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but I figured you probably have some solid experience under your belt that I don't and I'd like to have a head start! Thx
@@stellerate I don’t have any magic answer for you that you probably haven’t heard before. I believe everyone has a talent that can be sharpened by finding something that you like to do and makes you happy then give it give your best. Work hard and save your money and most of importantly, take care of your health. Family is important too. Everybody needs the love that comes from your family. Mirror that love with your own and it will grow. Good luck and have a great life.
Hi Steve. Great video. Great beginner skateboard. Its sad as we get older we can't enjoy the things we love'd to do. I was impressed at the Skydio missing the guy wire. I heard Skydio will no longer be making consumer drones anymore. So take care of that one. Hope your leg isn't a long term annoyance..........👍
So I bought this board brand new…3 miles into my first ride the rear drive wheel rubber flew off exposing the metal wheel. ..nearly took a header on the fall. I’ve never heard of this happening, maybe I got a bad batch? I returned the entire board.
Man!! Steve, Steve are you kidding me about your Skydio drone's crash avoid feature, is this event for real??? Am I seeing imagination that Skydio was AAAAAmazingly at avoiding crash into everything that was in Skydio's way, but nopey it kept moving into correct direction to avoid the crash, are you kidding me?!??!? Is this the new version from Skydio company or something, Steve??? That seriously did amazed my a$# about that feature is seriously AWESSSSOME, WOW that's so cool!! Hey hey @Meepo if you are reading this comment (mine) that you should start thinking about make your very own GPS drone with this really awesome feature called avoid the crash while following or chasing the drone pilot, and I can most definitely see that this drone will be sold out on the Launch Day for Meepo drone with GPS and avoid the crash feature and many other awesome features in the drone too. That would be really great idea if the Meepo company might want to think about this newest and latest electronic from Meepo to have more customers to Meepo to keep the Meepo business running and keep going, I can see that in my mind. Steve what do you think of that idea of mine? 🤔😂
Me personally I'm looking at getting an electric unicycle I hear it's the future of personal transportation. You mentioned getting stuck I've see EUCs do hiking trails and they get 30 miles to 100 miles of range. Personally was looking at the mten4 and the king song 16x. I mean you get more range than an ebike and at a smaller footprint🤷🏼♂️ definitely a learning curve but would be cool being a Claptrap rolling around😂
Well done Captain! (however, please stay away from knives!!!!); love the concept of a beginner friendly board and new technology to support this! however..........I have to say, Jedi Steves last Gen Toyota Celica looked fantastic!!!; still a great looking car today !
I don’t know if I’d say 7mph is “slow” - I came off mine at that speed last week and I would have been really badly injured if I hadn’t been wearing knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a helmet…damaged all of them except the helmet and the remote protector. I don’t ever go faster than that - I can barely even run that fast and wouldn’t want to run into a wall at full pace either. My unsolicited advice to anyone getting an e-skate is: pad up and go slow. Stay off roads if you don’t want to die.
5 mph is considered the average walking speed. 7 mph would be a slow jogging speed. However, any speed moving forward when attempting to get off a skateboard, no matter how slow, can certainly cause someone to fall if inexperienced as the human mind is not at all familiar with adopting to such balance.
Sorry to be a pain in your side, but a couple of months ago you recommended a hard case for traveling for my mini 3. I just got an avata and want to get one for it. I just remember it is a Canadian company but I don’t remember the brand. Could you let me know the brand again please. Thanks for your help.
I want one but I don't see a logical reason to need one sadly. Also how did you accidentally stab yourself that bad?? And I wonder how it is climbing hills
I can't understand why they make them so ugly tho. Why can't they put 2 tails like an actual skateboard? As an over 20 years skateboard vet no actual skateboarders like those weird shapes. Anything that isnt two tail is trash.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I used to rollerskate too. I tried about 5 years ago and about broke my butt in less than 2 minutes. That was just getting to the rink from the locker. I took them off and watched my neice and grand neices skate.
Thank you so much! I used this video to help my mom understand the board is safe for beginners and I got it for Christmas!
Glad it helped!
Thanks I just ordered one.. I am excited just turned 50 so let’s go.. I can’t wait..
Happy Birthday! I’m age 60 and still riding so you have many years of fun ahead.
Excellent Video, and Excellent Electric Skateboard. Im Sorry To Hear About Your Leg Injury. Wishing You A Speedy Recovery. Thank You Steve.
I can't believe that Skydio dodged the cables! That was impressive!
Enjoyed the skateboard too and that was pretty good on gravel even with the wrong wheels.
Agreed, Skydio has great obstacle avoidance!
Wow I love it , not only a great TH-camr and drone pilot but also a talented chap I couldn’t balance on that if it was still
Well done 🎉❤

Nice one Steve! That thing is super impressive. The skateboard was nice also ❤
awsome footage steve.

When it comes to skateboards, there are no shortage of options out there and you can certainly get some good deals.

I’m age 60 and I can tell I don’t feel as confident riding as fast as I used to. I still enjoy it for commuting purposes.

To old to get my knees scratch up again hahaha 😆. Awesome review 👏
Where was this 20yrs ago😂… it’s great if it came with handlebars I’d be sold!, great review as usual Steve👍👍👍👍

Steve I'm layed up for three months with a broke foot man I want to fly my drones but I can't so I'm watching your channel
Heal quickly, take care
So I bought this board brand new…3 miles into my first ride the rear drive wheel rubber flew off exposing the metal wheel. ..nearly took a header on the fall. I’ve never heard of this happening, maybe I got a bad batch? I returned the entire board.
I like the set up
Good afternoon captain cool video that's nice

Great review
Good review Steve. If I had 1 of those skateboards i'd fall off all the time.
i have trouble standing on two feet let alone standing on a skate board nice review Steve but not for me i'll stick to my mobility scooter.
Looks fun, but scary at first 😱👻

A 6 month warranty screams high quality...right?

Perhaps it was the NANUK brand as that is the most Canadian popular hard case company.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 that’s it! Thank you very much.
No way your vacation has ended already??
I want one but I don't see a logical reason to need one sadly.
Also how did you accidentally stab yourself that bad??
And I wonder how it is climbing hills
Climbing hills seems fine. I have an electric bike review coming up where I explain how I stabbed my leg.
⚡👌🏼👌🏼⚡
Cool
Hey Steve, can the braking power be changed independently from the speed?
Yes
Dude, be careful. Us sweet guys get into trouble when wounded.
👍
First!1! 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Too bad you can't get that kind of range from a drone without paying $500.00 and up.
I can't understand why they make them so ugly tho. Why can't they put 2 tails like an actual skateboard? As an over 20 years skateboard vet no actual skateboarders like those weird shapes. Anything that isnt two tail is trash.
Nooooooo, we cant let you get hurt yet, you’re way to young to die!!!
I'm 55, used to skateboard every day, but you won't catch this 55 year old on a board
I’m 60 and my skateboarding days are becoming less each year.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I used to rollerskate too. I tried about 5 years ago and about broke my butt in less than 2 minutes. That was just getting to the rink from the locker. I took them off and watched my neice and grand neices skate.
Hey Captain, just wondering if you're going to do a review of Hover X1 by ZeroZero, hearing really good things about it.
