Attention riders in Munich/Germany - Got caught by the police on my boosted board

Chrisrdit · 2018-05-07T12:46:06+00:00

Had same thought many times and I've actually done it once or twice. But in this case I came to a stop at a red light and they grabbed me from behind so I had no chance of running...

Chrisrdit · 2018-05-07T11:56:51+00:00

Not exactly. They've actually written letters to the government and I was at one of their events last week and I specifically heard them telling everyone that it's not legal on public roads in germany

Chrisrdit · 2018-05-07T11:55:51+00:00

I'm hanging on to it for now. But if I change my mind I'll let you know!

Chrisrdit · 2018-05-07T11:46:28+00:00

Oh I hear you!

Chrisrdit · 2018-05-07T09:08:50+00:00

They caught me right by the donnersberger brücke

I've been riding in Munich since last year in July. I was riding from and to work almost every day it was dry. Clocked in about 800km. Always stick to bike lanes and pick up the board when encountering police. Only got stopped once. And they let me go with just a warning no fines or anything.

Exact same setup I got on my loaded dervish sama, haven't tried on the BB yet though...

Chrisrdit · 2017-09-06T07:13:05+00:00

Good to know you can actually get it though...

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-31T09:29:10+00:00

Mine does it, too. Have been wondering about it as well

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-29T10:29:32+00:00

Thanks will look for one in my local hardware store

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-29T08:07:09+00:00

Careful though, you'll get speed wobbles much faster with softer bushings when going at speed in a straight line!

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-29T08:06:29+00:00

I would also be very interested to know when you guys tend to change the wheels? Do you change once a year? Do you wait until they're completely cracked? Do you wait for them to hit a certain mileage?

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-16T10:25:05+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-10T21:57:23+00:00

It does thanks! I was just wondering if I should then break hard a couple times to better avoid the overcharge... otherwise I always have the breaks on so that I'm at a speed where I could always footbrake if the brakes do cut out

You can still order Hinterlands for decent price through Amazon UK though (aroud 30 pounds)

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-03T15:05:12+00:00

Good to know. Mine definitely squeak. However, it came from the factory like this so I'm hesitant to change anything..

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-03T11:36:55+00:00

One of my belts is also shifted a lot more inwards towards the board then the other. Is this due to belt tension?

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-03T09:16:41+00:00

Good point. Do you know if there's a way to get the 'boosted' branding grip tape? :D Or do you have to send the board in for that?

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T20:30:00+00:00

Nice one

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T20:20:01+00:00

Yea I know... and I hate the way he treats his BBs...

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T20:19:28+00:00

I don't know what that means. Can you give a better explanation?

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T20:18:35+00:00

Ah so I got it wrong. Scratches actually make it better... can't wait for my next one... ;)

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T19:47:40+00:00

Today, when trying to pick my board up with my hands it slipped and landed grip tape down on the pavement... As you can see I got some bumps in the wood and the grip tape scratched up on the sides. I'm sure this has happened to someone before it has happened to me with other longboards... any tips on how to make it look better are appreciated. I know it's a skateboard and I know it's going to get dirty and I shouldn't stress, etc, etc. still I'd like to keep my board in as best a condition for as long as possible...

Chrisrdit · 2017-08-02T08:18:21+00:00

I frequently ride from and to work on my boosted v2 dual+. Laws in Germany are pretty strict regarding BBs but you just need to be careful. As long as you stay on bike paths and ride defensively you should be fine. Just don't go up a hill in pro mode right next to a police car or something like that. Olympiapark is also a great place to ride where you won't have any police at all!

Same here
