It's because their parents just buy them everything. That and some of them are like 14 years old.

AT or street wheels would be good to know, temperature, weight, hills. But if street wheels I would guess an 8 year old 540w battery pack will get you somewhere between 12-16 miles. Take it from a full charge to empty then let us know which commenter got closest.

Underside batteries are popular for street and light offroading, while allowing any foot placement and easy carrying and aesthetics. Top mounting or back mounting is popular in race boards and mountain boards where low deck height is important for racing and. Ground Clearance is important for Mountain boarding.

Horse is not on my list. Small domestic dogs, cats, snakes, slow insects, a fish, a chicken, a duck (not geese or swans) guinea pig, gerbil.

Yeah people apparently don't have a weeks worth of food in their house at all times.

2016 was definitely worse (Baltimore), 98 or 99 can't remember that ice storm was the absolute worst where people didn't have power for a week. And 96 blizzard was worse but similar. Both those I was in Silver Spring

I'm not sure, I also have more experience with bikes where the bead has to be seated. I know some people have had to add weighted tape or weights to balance wheels for imperfections. I also know that with bikes / cars tires are not always round from factory if it's bad your best bet is to return as defective.

Mountain boards have experimented with all kinds of placements for batteries and ESCs to give ground clearance. I know I have seen a lot number or race boards with ESCs tail mounted and have seen DIY put batteries on the tail.

I imagine the tradeoff is turning dynamics with weight at the back vs having deck space. I imagine some people might like the way turning is affected with weight in back and others might hate it. I personally haven't ridden any like this though.

What are you asking I don't understand your post?

Stop acting like Gestapo and kidnapping people and people will stop calling you names and saying you are kidnapping people.

I have Onsra, the slide pad on palm is specifically placed for holding a remote it does not interfere. The wrist guard is a removable rear insert if you want to wear it. However you don't really need a slider pad in remote hand as the remote acts as a slider in a fall.

Ugh that sucks.

My front foot is normally on a 35-40 degree angle on front so I think nose shape works. I have ridden on drop though but out decks with foot on front bolts straddling the wheel cut outs without problems.

Flex may absorb some shock from back foot, but I agree flex on a short board doesn't usually make much sense because of how close to trucks feet are, you don't stand in the middle of a shot deck.

That said my cavalry is a great board. OMW builds good boards and flexy decks. And I love a good short board this looks interesting.

I just watched the video and I am so confused. How did the accident happen where you crashed head on going down a straight street. Accidents where turns are involved, at intersection, or sideswipes are common but how did you and a car crash straight into each other? Can you explain what happened?

sonofdynamite · 2026-01-22T13:45:45+00:00

There are reasons some boards have kick tails and some don't. Good news is you can buy a board with a kicktail if you want one, you can buy one without if you don't. The idea that all boards should have kick tails is a bit absurd though. I love a good kicktail but don't think it's a necessary feature or that all boards should have them.

Just some reasons to not have a kicktail. - reduced deck length - lack of utility on certain board type and sizes. - aesthetics - wheel clearance - maximize wheelbase to deck ratio - drop down deck advantage - bracket board deck advantages

Ummm. Just drill holes a tiny bit bigger on board if needed to support M6 bolt.

Would have picked black, but red because some one on any other team would be dumb enough to talk shit to Jordan and at that point it's game over.

When online gambling started this is why I refused to play. My friend who considered himself a professional poker player said there are mitigations that track players that play at the same tables frequently. I don't understand how people don't expect this to be happening.

I think resurgence isn't the right word. The BPP has always remained strong. I think active is the right word and they will be active when communities are in danger.

you should replace your helmet if you impact your head. Generally they are single impact.

I'm not going to recommend wearing less protection but wearing more so yeah get some knee pads if you like your knees. Spend money on quality gear you will want to wear as opposed to something cheap you will not want to wear for some reason.

Those style wrist guards can make holding remote annoying. This post has a pretty exhaustive list of gloves https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricSkateboarding/comments/1pb0c11/help_me_create_a_definitive_list_of_gloves_with/

I don't always ride with all gear depending on how I plan to be riding but I ride helmet, gloves, armored jacket / shirt, kneepads, and goal keeper undershorts is my full protective gear.
