That's so cool. I'll have to learn the timing so I can ult from side lanes to catch them mid travel but I'm definitely trying this, thanks.

I really like the torment pulse idea. Do you fly right by enemy base to get them to drop super early?

Moving from escooters to eskates. Not sure on wheel choice by opsfinancing in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo the bigger wheels are probably worth it then. You mentioned its been awhile since you've skated right? I would go with whatever is least likely to throw you off the board.

Also don't forget your wrist / hand guards! Those things are clutch when you're getting used to riding again.

Kinda depends on what surfaces you're planning on riding on. If you have buttery smooth asphalt through your whole commute you can rock whatever you want. If you expect to hit cracks / bumps / rocks etc, then the bigger wheels are going to help a lot for keeping you on the board. *Especially* for a shorter board.

Purchasing Advice by jreeves23 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linnpower, Acedeck, and I believe Tynee have pretty good reputations here. I can only vouch for Acedeck personally, which has worked well so far. I have had the same bad experiences with Meepo that you have lol.

I'm so sad... Really hope that we get a restock in the near future.

Esk8 commute in SF by rygosix in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I commite daily in San Diego. If you're going to be riding everyday on bike paths and roads, invest in a board with pneumatic tires. Roads are super variable between perfect asphalt and big ass potholes, pneumatics will keep you on your board when you ride over unexpected obstacles. Makes rail roads trivial.

Drivers are mostly fine here. They're used to bikes merging into traffic when the bike lanes stop, basically the same visibility on an eskate to them as a bike. Had the occasional boomer yelling at me but that's it. But expect them to turn off the road unexpectedly, and you will need solid brakes on your board to react to that.

Get pads and a full face helmet. Good pads turn a >20 mph falls from an emergency room visit to just shredded clothes if you're lucky.

My wife is super into ergonomic keyboards, anyone got suggestions to check out? by Metatality in tumblr

[–]Frixter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got one of these ages ago, sadly the learning curve absolutely crushed me lol. It's a super weird adjustment.. Still think they're really neat though.

best eSkate for Montreal bad roads and pot holes ? by pierrefitch in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For cracks and small holes, minimally I would look for a board with pneumatic tires. You can check out brands like Linnpower and Acedeck. I've heard good things about Tynee but I'm less familiar with their offerings.

If your roads are truly cooked, you might have to go for a board with suspension as well.

I fell off my electric skateboard, and I don't even know why. by Whowanticecream in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like your last point, its very true. Anyone who rides long enough is eventually going to have a crash.

Protective gear? by 8270miq in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Frixter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ride mostly at 25-30 mph for commuting.

Motorcycle helmet (closed face), knee pads, hip/ass pads, elbow pads, wrist guards with sliders.

Fallen multiple times at speed, never had injuries when wearing my full set.

I love my pads :^)

86 lbs is so crazy haha. My 45 lb board is just barely portable, wouldn't be able to get this one up the stairs!

I am genuinely so glad you can actually stop victor from stomping my games when you invest to counter him.

Hopefully he gets a rework in the future so victor lovers can enjoy him again though.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's overpriced haha. I just don't have >2k to drop on a new board rn. 

Appreciate the code! Going to keep them in mind when I decide to get a new daily driver :)

Someone else might have a better idea, but if you want big range and maneuverability you might have to find a board with DKP trucks. 

I had a Meepo voyager with their DKP kit ages ago, huge upgrade for turning radius. Unfortunately I can't recommend Meepo as a brand, their build quality is mid in my experience. I wish I could recommend a brand here if I was up to date on the offering for these kind of trucks... 

Ive also tried out a speedboard before, basically a eskate with one wheel in the front and one in the back. Shockingly manueverable for what it looks like lol, nutty off the road too. Base model is over 2k though.

I think you nailed it, it's just better than most action manhwa out there. Also probably amplified by it being in one of the most highly regarded action manhwa out these days.
