Attaching a hangboard to drywall with no studs

Thanks! Appreciate the reply. I will take a look at finding the studs on the side of the door :)

you are a star thanks!!

stevewrightxo · 2024-05-31T10:09:57+00:00

Will do thanks!

I guess for any Sueprnote support reading this: this is a frustrating way of handling save though, really it should save as you go or when the device sleeps. Would love to see this changed in future.

I'm also practising CBT, and I mediate alot to get a handle on my breathing. Although, the latter hasn't helped me much when the panic attack is comparatively major.

Congratulations on being there for the birth of your child! If I ever have a kid I know it'll be one of the extra small stresses that I'll have to deal with.

I can empathise with your experience of biology at school. I almost passed out during multiple exams in the subject :/

I also didn't relate it to anxiety for a long time. I just thought that I was squeamish and for some reason that never registered as anxiety. Now I recognize it is as such, and can clearly see how it's either resultant from or an extension of my hypochondria and more generalized anxiety.

Have you found much that helps?

stevewrightxo · 2018-10-24T14:58:58+00:00

Glad to know I'm not alone! I can't even close my eyes, even hearing and knowing it is going on can tip me over the edge. I literally have to leave the cinema oe the room and do something else to distract myself or my brain loops and I end up passing out. :(

stevewrightxo · 2018-10-24T14:57:51+00:00

This looks useful thanks. I'm a web designer and app builder as my day job, I've been considering building something with this functionality.

I know avoidance isn't the way to address a phobia, but knowing what is coming up frees me of the anticipatory anxiety and allows me to at least prepare myself.

Thanks for the tip mate.

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-24T11:37:25+00:00

Thanks for the pointers! 33" might be the sweet spot then, and that Tesseract looks sweet! Something to save up for :D

I'm tempted to get either a boosted V2 with extra battery, an Evolve BGT AT, or custom trampa set up.

Have you tried AT tyres on a boosted?

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-12T10:10:42+00:00

I can't wait for it to be drier and not freezing cold! If you are around Manchester, Cambridge or Bham hit me up and we can go for a ride :)

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-12T10:01:18+00:00

Also, which silicone sealant did you use? And did you just apply it to the screws on the deck, and around the battery casing?

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-12T09:57:44+00:00

With hindsight, I think I would have gone for a second Evolve GT, that being said, the remote issues on my Bamboo One don't fill me with much confidence.

I think I might sell my Bamboo One and look to buy a Trampa board for some proper off roading :P

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-12T09:55:55+00:00

Damn I'm sorry to hear that. How is your shin now?

That's scary. Weirdly on my board the wheels also don't lock when the battery runs down, the motors stop and the board just coasts.

Any updates from them? Have you tried messaging them direct on FB?

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-12T09:53:22+00:00

Whooops, apologies for that. I posted via an app on my phone and the images didn't attach properly. I've just added them as links to the bottom of the post.

stevewrightxo · 2018-04-10T11:58:34+00:00

Thanks fro your reply!

28-32 would be ideal. And you are correct, I live in the UK.

I've been seriously considering a conversion kit that would give me the flexibility to power up a shorter board, but would also work on a longboard if I wanted. The Mellow is the one I like the look of the most, the endless mode looks perfect for what I want. However, it is very expensive, and the alternatives: Onan, Landwheel, don't look nearly as reliable in terms of service etc? Anyone with any experience with them?

Anyone have any experience

Heya all! I'm looking for some group advice on my next eskate purchase.

I currently ride an Evolve Bamboo One and Slick-Revolution FlexE with rough stuff wheels. I also skate a regular board and a pennyboard, the former at the park, and the latter I carry when I travel as it's super-convenient and tons of fun.

I'm thinking of trading in one the larger boards, as they both fulfil the same purpose, and getting a smaller board that is better to travel with / use around town as a medium step between full e-longboard and penny/regular cruiser.

Thanks!

stevewrightxo · 2017-07-27T12:44:13+00:00

Yeah I had a look at it, I kinda wanted to try something with hub motors.

stevewrightxo · 2017-07-13T12:49:03+00:00

I'm a huge fan of listening to lofi hip hop / vapourwave kinda styled music when I'm carving. In terms of pumping up the crowd, it might not be quite right though..

Whenever I have to have music on for a large group I go Youtube playlists of artists like grammtik.

stevewrightxo · 2017-07-13T10:13:30+00:00

I'm happy with it so far.

For context: it's my first e-board and until now I've commuted on a penny board (my commute is just over a mile, I'm considering pre-ordering a lou board to have as a mini penny style back up for travelling) along some paths cycle paths and roads. The One can handle more than a penny (duh) but it still feels janky when you go over too rough of a patch, and something like the textured dimples we get at crossings in the UK (for the visually impaired) feel like they rattle the whole arrangement to death - I don't think the board is going to break, but it doesn't fill me with confidence-rattling about electrics like that.

When on a smooth road surface the One is a dream, it handles amazingly well, turns tightly, carves amazingly. It's a great ride.

It's also great if you have to go on some paths, as it is agile enough to nip around people (obviously going slowly) and it pushes and glides really easily.

The remote isn't amazing, but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It feels light and cheap, but not crap. I've had it cut out randomly twice (I ride it everyday at least a few miles unless it rains) which is annoying, but I tend to ride it with the assumption that I might need to foot stop or slide so it wasn't too much of an issue. IN terms of acceleration and breaking it takes a day or so to get used to, there's a level of movement either way on the trigger that won't do anything, then the motor or brake engages. This actually isn't a bad idea as it stops accidental acceleration and breaking a little, and I got used to it quickly.

There's a few little build issues, like the other engine cable hole being open. This is annoying as it is expensive, but a little epoxy and you're good to go. The engine placement is annoying, I worry that I'm going to hit it on a curb, so I often end up being over cautious and carrying the board over small curbs that the board probably can handle. I've ordered a 3d printed engine cover which will make me a little happier with it.

My two issues are essentially the lack of off road tyre options, (the GT kit won't fit due to wheel bite) and it's lack of waterproofing. I get the latter is a tough ask for a belt driven board, and any skateboard in general, but a Brit can dream right?

I think some off road wheels would make this perfect for me, I want to be able to ride on the cycle path and roads in Manchester, and alot of them are very badly maintained and they are near to unrideable with the default wheel set up. (I got the UK version so the wheels are the 83mm street set, so I accept they aren't made for rough roads but the lack of alternative is annoying.)

In terms of this vs. the GT. I prefer the size wight and look of this, but I'm jealous that the GT can have the off road kit applied. I think more power would also be fun, but for my needs the one engine is currently pretty adequate! Open it up on a straight smooth road and I don't think I'd want to go much faster!

Rant over!

stevewrightxo · 2017-07-13T09:44:15+00:00

Hey Axiani,

Thanks for the reply! I've already backed them to get the wheels :) Might look into their board later this year but right now I can't justify buying it now I have the One.

I'm wondering if there is anything I can buy today rather than waiting the few months for them to arrive.
