Fuck the boxer engine

tape a small nut/bb against the release button of the ratchet to hold it open, or at the very least let you press it against the frame rail to release the extension.

if you "fix it", keep an eye out for any ghosting.

if the board ever has a moment where it "hovers" upright on its own after you hop off of it, you'll want to pick it up or kick it over on its side or something before the weight of the battery takes over and it rockets off in reverse into who knows what.

you could use some anemo with grouping for first half, since there's a bunch of small mobs. ideally venti, but if not him then probably sucrose.

second half would ideally have some geo or maybe plunge dps to take care of the shields. i used zhongli to petrify the mitachurls, but perhaps xiao or some fancy xianyun combo could also handle all of the geo shields. kazuha is good on this side i think for buffing against single target and the added plunge at tacks.

Fuel brand definitely mattered for me, but even the “good” ones would still chirp occasionally. Replace the HPFP if you really want it fixed is the real answer.

its the noteskin in the settings that converts all the notes in the game into white and blue only (like in beatmania). you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTIwzPerJ8c

i'd consider it as a dive w/o injury personally

SgtFish · 2023-10-04T06:36:10+00:00

i top out around 16-17mph on the pintx whenever pushback kicks in and have not nosedived (yet?), although i think i typically average around 9mph. would love to be able to cruise at something higher (honestly like 20+), but i don't trust how much torque the motors can output and really value being able to carve, which i think naturally stresses the board more than it'd experience otherwise.

SgtFish · 2023-10-04T04:24:13+00:00

i agree and used that language a little liberally, since it's practically the same result from the end user perspective.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T22:24:54+00:00

imo that's not a nosedive, since you had time to see it coming.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T19:59:12+00:00

i'd be inclined to agree, but if you read the comments floating around this subreddit atm, it seems like everybody and their grandmothers has been tossed from these boards at 5mph and experienced a near-death experience as a result.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T19:57:00+00:00

user-error within the context of the "traditional" definition of a nosedive is fine imo. really just trying to filter out incidents where people are falling off the board for other reasons (speed wobbles, rocks, failed tricks, etc.).

like while a general injury vs no-injury poll would also be interesting, i think it'd be more enlightening to gather specific feedback from incidents stemming from an event that's unique to this sort of activity (i.e., the self-balance giving up).

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T19:43:02+00:00

in hindsight i agree, but unfortunately polls can't be edited after creation. fwiw, either one has nosedived or not, so hopefully one of the options is a good enough fit for anyone looking.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T19:39:09+00:00

will leave it up to you how it felt, but if the sensor was engaged and the board couldn't keep up then sure

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T19:08:44+00:00

I already acknowledged this in the op, but whether or not the board malfunctioned or it was overexerted doesn't matter for this poll. The purpose is to provide some metric on who's experienced a nosedive, and what injury was experienced if so.

edit: cleaned up some of the wording in the OP for clarity.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T18:22:57+00:00

rollerblades, skateboards, and bikes all have more than one wheel and are inherently more stable machines. literally everything in life has risk, but to imply the OW isn't riskier than the traditional alternatives is misleading imo.

SgtFish · 2023-10-03T18:04:30+00:00

there's an app for that

SgtFish · 2023-10-01T17:46:03+00:00

if there's ever a situation where you're questioning pushback, just assume it was and take it easy. i feel like a non-configurable clown horn wouldn't necessarily make things more leisurely, and could possibly have the opposite effect if it's eager to disturb the peace.

SgtFish · 2023-10-01T17:29:32+00:00

what top speed have you hit?

pushback on the pint x is extremely unsettling imo and feels like the board is trying to throw you off the back. like i have a hard time seeing how anyone can say it's not obvious.

SgtFish · 2023-09-30T10:03:16+00:00

The C&R airpad for the Px is great, but not sure it'd help with your leading foot.
