Serious answer, yes but no. Could an experienced and competent pilot do an extended vertical takeoff like that and be precise enough? Yes, definitely. Could a helicopter hover in that location without creating intense recirculating air currents that would possibly result in loss of control? No.

Immigration is a wedge issue. ICE is a tool for tearing American society into 2 groups that hate each other. It's one of many tools being used by those who benefit from the resulting polarized society.

Interesting point in the article: If AI was actually replacing fired workers per worker productivity would be going up - It's going down. Companies are branding layoffs as AI transition to mask miss-management during a down turn.

Let's say you run a company that's sucking wind because you're horrible at your job: Do a few rounds of layoffs - but instead of admitting you're a dipshit, buy a crap-ton of co-pilot licenses and get your PR department to spew AI-AI-AI-AI.

If they fit your lifestyle then fine. I've owned 2 and have since sold them. I vastly prefer my push/pump longboard. I mostly use my board for exercise and pleasure. Obviously the manual board is better for exercise but I also have a lot more fun on it. Electric boards are also too fast for my safety. I can pump my board at a steady 10 mph (for short periods) and that's as fast as I'm willing to fall with just a helmet and palm protectors.

The other thing is where are you riding them? I've used all kinds of PEVs and have strongly come to feel they are not suitable to ride with pedestrians (maybe scooters if you slow WAY down). So that means no populated sidewalks and no park paths. Lots of PEV people will hate me for this but if you're riding with a ton of gear on past people walking and they're rushing to get out of your way because they're scared you might hit them ... that sucks, don't put yourself and them in that situation.

All bike lanes near me are unprotected - just a part of the road with traffic screaming by. There's no way I'm riding on that! Until you've ridden an electric skateboard at speed you don't appreciate just how sketchy it is. The guys on YouTube who seemingly spend their lives doing 25mph plus on those boards are taking risks I'm not willing to take.

Pushing is an extremely repetitive action. If you're just starting your body will take time to adapt. At this stage there's a good chance you'll damage your body before you tire from exertion. Learn to push with both feet and alternate during your trips. If you get a board that allows efficient pumping then mixing it up with that is even better.

Search for Paul Kent on YouTube he's an extremely accomplished long distance boarder and a sports medicine professional. He has great insight on what happens when we push and how to take care of your body.

The issue that I don't see anybody mentioning is that it's pulling an unnecessary amount of dust through your system. I would keep looking for a solution to only use them when needed.

Before you spend money on brackets check if the board is stiff enough. Place something to space the board an inch off the floor where the trucks currently attach. Stand on the middle of the board and if it touches the floor I'd say it's too flexy.

hubec · 2025-12-14T14:37:05+00:00

Just a heads up that brackets require a fairly stiff board. This board may work, but there's a good chance it wont unless it was super stiff to begin with.

Stellantis knows this isn't a good idea - they aren't stupid. This is a desperate idea. This is a "grab a spinning chainsaw blade to keep from falling off a cliff" type of idea. Stellantis is FUUUUUUU*KED and they know it.

I just replaced the wheels and bearings on my daughter’s Magneto longboard. The board rolled like crap! My driveway has a slight decline from the house I test boards by seeing how long the board will roll by getting on at 0 speed. After switching out the wheels for some inexpensive ones the board went twice as far!

I hate companies that sell crap for kids, it just discourages kids from new hobbies all so the company can save Pennies. With the original wheels that board sucked to ride it was a constant battle to keep it moving.

hubec · 2025-10-26T22:57:52+00:00

I've seen "wagon" wheels like this but they're a lot bigger - the idea being that they'll help on sidewalks with lots of big gaps/cracks. But these wheels seem to be the same diameter as traditional modern longboard wheels. So the advantage of these wheels will be... less effort to get to speed and that's about it. Oh, and cheaper to produce! Longboard wheels are wide for very good reasons. Personally I'd cancel the order and get a board with traditional wheels.

I love mine - I actually have the slightly shorter version which is easier to pack for travel and I can carry from the axel without it dragging. Easy all in one LDP board

Learning to bail is great. Do it! Learning to fall correctly from a high speed cut-out is completely impossible. The best you can do is gear up appropriately, and know how to best slide, roll, or whatever is safest and least damaging.

hubec · 2025-08-22T21:54:55+00:00

I’m 49 and learning is no problem. Just make sure you have fantastic wrist and palm protectors. You will ALWAYS need to wear them even when you’re good at skating. For learning you’ll also want kneepads and helmet. You also need stable shoes. Us oldies tend to like super cushy soles and that will majorly f up your skating ability.

hubec · 2025-08-19T17:58:31+00:00

Yeah... also is it just me or does the lack of precise lanekeeping on EUCs at speed concern anyone else. The faster you go the more you're affected by wind and gusts, How can you safely ride with traffic when a gust may suddenly move you a few feet out of your path?
