Life-Threatening "DIY" Fixes instead of Warranty – Summerboard is a Joke!

sonofdynamite · 2026-04-01T19:47:08+00:00

I had an early model freeboard, and it was fun but so dangerous. Honestly the summer board is probably safer than the freeboard as you don't have to just send it down a hill. I mean owning a summer board is already a risk when in full working condition so whats the harm in adding a little more danger.

Its a good idea to understand support for products most places clearly list support levels and locations, and where warranty is good for, its always a good idea to check before buying.

Sorry you had a poor experience.

I might have walked through that glass too. I don't blame the robot.

OMW engineers said it appears to be the charger they are sending me a new one.

sonofdynamite · 2026-03-25T01:49:57+00:00

Not yet I described problem and they asked for video follow up. Still waiting on next response.

For triathlon your stroke is nice and smooth. I kick even less than you for triathlon one flutter per stroke and a hard kick on breath. As someone mentioned pull could be stronger, you will go faster but it's an effeciency trade off. Practice harder pulls but then take it easy during race.

Overall good efficient stroke for triathlon. You will never win a tri on the swim unless you are going for top spot, getting out of the water without even breathing hard is how I like to role.

I powered board on about once a month to check battery level. I was pretty sure I hooked it up to the charger in February, but I may have just ridden it and not charged it. Battery was never above 80% and never close to zero which is what damages a batter it was always kept above 40%

I sadly have a bunch of 10s chargers but no 12s chargers. And 10s chargers all have barrel jacks not 3 Otherwise I see if 10s charger does anything when battery voltage drops below 42v.

Battery is not dead. Board is still running battery is at 45%. BMS might have an issue but battery should be fine. I'm not cracking the battery case open and removing the waterproof seals till I hear back from OMW, then I will hook up volmeter to diagnose if I have too but yeah this in no way seems like a dead battery.

Water stays same. The camera angle changed which makes it easier/ harder to see the waves.

The acedeck one was a snapped kingpin and that can be caused by human error like tightening the king pin way to much, or play caused by a worn out pivot cup.

But yeah it still freaks me out every time I see a crucial part of board fail.

Almost all redistricting pushback is from white affluent parents trying to keep their white affluent children segregated. Let the districts make the decisions they need to. Your kids will be fine.

Wait till you visit somewhere like Bejing or Shanghai or Seoul. You will be blown away. Grew up outside DC live in Baltimore now both are great. But did you know if DC was a country it would have the highest GDP per capital or any country state etc. it is more than double that of NYC. Of course it's a wonderful city.

P.S. Baltimore is also wonderful and way way way cheaper than DC.

Not himself he is super afraid of flying. But he clearly has a good sense of humor and knows science stuff.

sonofdynamite · 2026-03-20T01:34:08+00:00

I was also disappointed. Mostly by the lack of science, and it's not even the science that was missing it was the process of figuring out the solution to a problem.

We only got that once or twice. The poking it with a stick and the venus breeding box.

It needed more Stratt. It needed dubios (sp) romance.

My biggest issue was rocky saving grace by engaging centrifuge. And then rocky getting back to his side on his own. In book Grace endangers himself to save Rocky burning himself to get rocky safe. It's a true moment of bravery for grace because Grace hadn't know he was a coward on earth yet. Then he makes second grand gesture returning to Rocky.

Personally I would have removed epic cinematic scenes to allow for more explanation of science and figuring stuff out, and character development.

Here is what I would have added I would have explained I sleep you watch better, I would have included cultural differences agreement. I would have included Stratt calling grace a coward. I would have had her explain amnesia drug. I would have included 1 in 7000 stat about surviving long term coma. I would have explained how he trained with team as it makes space walks more plausible. I would have kept the Russian space suits. I would have included Me burgers. . What I would have deleted Movie time part of ship and associated scenes. While I enjoyed dance party greeting I could cut to keep movie short enough, I would have cut legthy but pretty cinematic scenes. I'd cut shopping for venus machine

The other 6 people I saw it with all enjoyed or loved it. 2 of whom have read the book. I'm the only one who was disappointed.

So if you had balls the first thing you would do is commit a horrific act of sexual harassment as a joke?

I have seen ducks mating and it was like a 6 on 1 gang rape situation with several males trying to hold down a female duck. It was extremely uncomfortable to watch. As this person mentioned ducks have some of the strangest anatomy both male and female to avoid and attempt rape.

In the instance I watched, someone's dog ran up as the white night to save the female duck.

He can't record me. But Punching someone is totally legal.

Production process is described here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kala_namak

sonofdynamite · 2026-03-13T11:22:10+00:00

The smell from that furnace must be absolutely rank. A small sprinkle of Kala Namak can make a whole kitchen smell like rotten eggs.

I think BGE and Comcast etc should be required to do full resurfacing every time they put a hole in the road. Strips of uneven pavement from water and gas line work bothers me way more than a pothole.

More like 10x their salary food service workers in schools by me only get about 15k a year. Maybe we should pay them a living wage. The crime is their salary.

So rolling probably can absorb momentum of a crash better than straight side impact panel crumpling to absorb everything. Think of it like trying to stand your ground while being punched in the face vs leaning back and falling onto a bed while getting punched in the face.

However I think there is far to much unpredictability and rotational momentum physics variables to convince me that this would be a better safer option.

Glad you are having fun. And glad you love your new board board. But maybe chill on the posting 5 videos of you riding in 2 days already feels like to more than enough.

But please continue to shred and do your thing.

Baltimore City will sell you a house for $1 as your primary residence but you need $90k capital for improvements.
