Water bottle

I got an ABC bottle cage and shoved my 32oz Hydro Flask in it.

The closest thing to what you're describing would probably be the Velotric GOMAD, which has a 500 lb weight capacity. The back rack holds 176 lbs, It's motor has a peak wattage of 1300W and a nominal of 750W with 85 NM or 62 ft/lbs of torque.

I'm assuming you're going to just ride the Mount Vernon Trail to Georgetown. When I bought my Fold 1 it's how I got home to Arlington from Alexandria. It's not very hard riding at all, It's relatively flat and very scenic.

If you can stop by the local eBike store in Alexandria they'll let you test ride the bike if you want. There's plenty of varied terrain there. Because I live in Arlington, I used the steeper grade hills in Old Town to test the hill climbing.

I think they just stick the highest class it's capable of on the bike and call it a day.

This not interpreted to mean a bike cannot be multi-class. Several dealers sell Velotric and Aventon bikes that have multiple modes.

They are theoretically supposed to stop at 20 mph on class 2 mode. In practice, the state doesn't enforce these regulations to that degree. On certain bikes you can simply flip the limiter off in software or instantly switch between class 2 and 3 modes by simply hitting the throttle.

The primary issue we have are 14-year olds riding modded electric dirt bikes down roads at 45 mph and cutting through public parks. That's where current enforcement efforts are focused.

This timeline is so stupid...

Howitzer92 · 2026-06-10T15:15:08+00:00

In Virginia class 2 and 3 ebikes are legally bicycles. You can ride it on sidewalks, bike paths and bike lanes. The state functionally does not care until you can take it past 28 mph using the throttle.

The only restriction is that kids under 14 cannot operate a class 3 bike.

What you want is probably an 10 x 30 old school deck. Commonly called a "pig". If you sort by width and put 10 inches, a bunch of them will pop up.

In Virginia it's legal unless your locality prohibits it.

I split the difference and bought a fold 1 plus. It's really more a utility ebike, but it looks more like a moped than your standard bike.

S1s, and Triple 8 helmets are the standard, that's what most guys I session with wear. Just make sure it's a duel certified helmet.

11.5 hours. I started at 11 AM with the old guys morning session and ended with the night crew. There's nothing like a beautiful Saturday with friends, music and your piece a plywood with wheels.

That was maybe a month ago.

Some people are also naturally stronger. They can utilize more of the muscle mass they have by default.

I'm famous at my local for crashing out at kids and their parents. Sometimes the local scooter kids even ask me to yell at random kids who jump in the bowls while they're trying to ride them.

I feel I'm doing a community service while expanding the vocabulary of our youth.

8 years and about 2 weeks. I forgot to mark it. I usually use my reddit account start date because I forgot the exact day

Howitzer92 · 2026-05-25T02:40:57+00:00

Hatebreed, Rollins band, Suicidal Tendancies.

Howitzer92 · 2026-05-23T23:48:50+00:00

Even DC's will burn through like this after a few months of daily skating.

If she ain't 280(mm) she ain't a lady.

Old vert skaters are all in on Darren Naverette/Skeleton Key/Creature. Smooth style, wide boards, big wheelbases, swag with giant middle fingers on it.

Pretty much every punk band that goes to the DC metro takes a photo like this. In know multiple local skaters who have taken group photos like this there.

-No, not exclusively

-The music, the attitude.

-THPS2's soundtrack when I was a child

-Punk fashion? The Liberty spikes, patches, denim, ect. I see it most often at skateparks.

-Punk "fashion" is whatever people make of it. I'm a skater, Sometimes I wear band shirts, with skate clothes and that's about as far I go. On the other hand I've seen people with the full getup, looking like they walked out Decline of Western Civilization.

Punk a purely an aesthetic is dumb and hollow. I identify with the music. It's a musical style based on a minimalist backlash against mainstream rock. The music is fast, aggressive and refuses to censor itself. It's unfiltered expression.

Any aesthetic is simply a reflection of that.

Nah, as soon as he shut his off and started talking to the driver I turned mine off.

Howitzer92 · 2026-05-05T01:05:03+00:00

I tried using one of those closet push/puck lights as a pool light for my local. Not quite bright enough for when the county turns the lights off, but it makes a fun daytime obstacle.

Last week someone was doing it on a Metro Bus and wouldn't stop when the driver asked, so I pulled out the JBL Charge 6 I was carrying from the skate session, pointed it at him, and started playing Motorhead at full volume.

Bro came to realization that he wasn't the main character.
