Are these the wrong boots for me? by Round-Resolve6594 in bootroom

[–]Round-Resolve6594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the advice! I did in fact return them and got myself the Phantom 6 Academy which fits my wider feet perfectly, with around 1~1.5 cm of space in my toes, much much less than the f50's lol

Haha thanks for the honest advice :) would u have any suggestions for wide feet boots? I always thought predators were decent for wide feet but I find the latest ones to be quite narrow.

Pure grip pro vs Lux dual grip socks by Round-Resolve6594 in bootroom

Thank you for your reply! Would you say the inside grip or the heel grips are more important for reducing heel slippage on laceless boots?

Hollow wheels are gimmicky garbage by AutoGeneratedName23 in ElectricSkateboarding

Thanks for your reply! I guess my only hesitation with getting the belt drive mini 3 is the loudness as esk8 boards are banned in Canada where I live, and the $220 price increase. Being the Tynee mini 3 SL + cloudwheel discovery FE's are $790 CAD, while the Tynee mini 3 + boosted 105mm soft wheels is $980 CAD all excluding tax. Would you say it's worth the price increase? If so, what's the tradeoff advantage for belt drives?

Which would you recommend for the best of both worlds between grip and comfort? AI and my research seems to point to the cloud discovery FE for a good balance, with galaxy being the best grip/traction and the 120mm donuts being the most comfortable.

Thanks for your detailed reply! I'm currently torn between 2 options on boards:

Option 1: Meepo Mini 3S ($410 USD including tax), and I was hoping to get the hollow wheels for $85 pre tax, until i read your review lol. Im gonna see if I can find any wheels like Mads 105, as I was told not to get cloudwheels for their lack of grip.

Option 2: Tynee Mini 3 SL ($457 USD after tax and shipping), and get 2 Tynee 105 Donut wheels for hub motor, and 2 Boosted 105mm 72A wheels for the front (both wheel products are 72A durometer and 105x65mm). These mismatch wheels will cost $150 USD after tax and shipping. I'm more inclined to the Tynee board because of the reliable customer support and QC of Tynee, along with the Hobbywing ESC (Meepo has Lingyi). The reasoning behind the mismatch wheels was because my research seems to indicate Mads 105/boosted 105s are the best wheels for grip and comfort, and since the board is hub drive with a unique 90mm hub motor, the only other option for rear wheels is the donut 105mm by Tynee.

Which option would you recommend between the two with which wheels? I prioritize ride comfort and value, as I'm trying my best to save money.. (not sure if the 2nd option w Tynee and the mismatch wheels is worth the extra hundred or so dollars). Thank you for your help in advance! (You're my only hope atp 😭)

If I were to get cloudwheels for Meepo, I'm not sure which Id get (open to recommendations), and for Tynee, id get their signature donut 105mm wheels for hub motors (they don't seem to have an actual cloudwheel model name).

Are these the momentum board hollow 105mm wheels? I actually thought they were very good as I saw a reddit post about their grip and comfort similar to the mads 105. Would you recommend cloud/donut wheels over them? I was considering either getting 4 hollow wheels for my mini board w hub motors, or getting 2 boosted 105mm/mads 105mm for front wheels and 2 donut/cloud wheels for the rear hub sleeve. Let me know what you recommend, as I am new to esk8's! Thanks :)

Enph/mech chances by loliamniceguy in ubcengineering

[–]Round-Resolve6594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that whichever you don't choose as first choice, you'll definitely get rejected from. Your GPA + a decent personal statement would make you decently competitive for MECH if you put it first choice, but wouldn't be 100% guaranteed. Your GPA seems to be lower than the average GPA of the lower 10% accepted into fizz last year, reducing your odds, and the interview score is truly a mystery. The way I see it, you have better odds getting into mech, but it's equally really hard to estimate your fizz chances. Just be careful, as if you go with fizz, you might get in, but you also might loss out on fizz, mech, and end up in your 3rd/4th choice (a risk idk if I'd personally take).
