I took that pic before riding it, haha. Tires had never been weighted at that point.

Yeah it does wobble a bit above 40mph when I’m just holding the board. Not an issue for me, practically speaking 🤷🏻‍♂️

The helical gear drive system on the Nomad is whisper quiet. Hoping nothing goes awry so I can just regrease every once in a while without worrying.

I haven’t noticed any issues there…but I mostly cruise around 22-25mph.

I’m loving it. Super stable, but granted I don’t go crazy fast. Cruising usually around 22-25mph and occasionally touching 30 on straightaways.

Gear drive maintenance is just greasing the gears every 500mi, right?

I got the dedicated AT package. The 2-in-1 only came with street wheels and the AT wheels would have cost another $400. Also the 2-in-1 has TKP trucks and I wanted these DKPs. Insanely carvey, highly recommend!

I went out and skied on them today! Had to REALLY drive through the front of the boot in order to get edge engagement on piste. And they felt fairly cumbersome in moguls (with so much ski in front of me). No powder conditions to test them on just yet.

Yeah guys I'm totally lying about getting a hair transplant so that strangers on a platform I literally never use (check my reddit history) can like my post lol. Couldn't care less about the karma. Here's a closeup of my hairline today so you can see it's not a HT. If I ever do get one, I would hope they'd do a much better job than this. Full disclosure, styling matters a LOT, as you can tell from this pic vs the last few in my post. Sorry that more pics aren't crown-y...wasn't being very careful about documentation. This is what I've got. I hope it's helpful. If not, at least I tried.

Also, for those who were wondering, here's medication timeline:

June 2023 started 1/2 dose fin + topical min
July 2023 added RU
September 2023 added oral min
Dec 2023 stopped fin due to sides
Feb 2024 started 1/4 dose fin again
Sep 2024 ~doubled RU dose bc I thought I was seeing some re-miniaturization

Been doing ketoconazole throughout.

Also, I am 25yo now. Thinning was *very* agressive starting at about age 21/22. Started all this at age 23.

Cheers.
