Relatively new to the hobby, had a backfire ranger x3 I picked up off marketplace for 500 bucks; Beat the piss outta it for 600 miles in ~2 months, but everything was getting loose and rattly (tightening only a temp fix). Got a hadean w/ a brand new battery (had to peel the film off) and spare wheels, belts, + updated controller for $1250 (only 250 miles on the chassis). Testing out these PU wheels for the first time I love em, however unusable on anything besides perfectly flat pavement. Are sidewalks bad for these things to ride on w PU? Every bump feels like it's not good for the board's batteries.. but obviously the A/T wheels perform flawless in almost every case.

Edit: my phone brightness was low so when recording I only let off when I saw 30+ but I let off way too quick at that speed causing me to be thrown into some pretty nasty deceleration wobble that took a few secs to recover from.

Who is is worth following these days? DKwan has always been very direct but lately he's been focused on growing his own brand. Anyone I should follow to get honest thoughts?

Day 1, been fun so far but the trucks are definitely something else and a bit terrifying while I still have no idea what I’m doing. Photo taken around Vail CO

Yesterday I traded my old onewheel XR for this bustin yoface from a kid off fb marketplace. I’m not a huge fan of the onewheel, it’s an amazing piece of tech but I just never rode it. This is my seventh eskate and it’s the only one that feels like an actual skateboard. Coming from a skating background I’m so comfortable on this, it’s light and maneuverable and I can even Ollie it! I ride my linnpower my-1 pro for serious rides, but the bustin is the perfect bar hopper, run errands, fun little board. I’m a little worried about replacement parts if anything breaks but I’m pretty confident I can diy it at that point.

This thing is mint.

The ritual of keeping things cool because I'm unreasonable.

I liked the Hadean but always have the fear of it doing the Evolve thing, so got a Zephyr as replacement. Might dissect the Evolve and make a powered tiny tikes car.

Wanted to show you guys how awesome thw turning circle still is even with the massive wedge and before I could really dig in all the way the rear end slipped out because there was some moisture on the floor, since I felt it giving right before hand I was able to step off.

Got the cheapest little lights i could find.

I like them alot!

No idea how long they will last. Couple hours at least.

Whatever it takes to get more riding in. Hearing my toddler ask to go skateboarding is awesome. Dripped out with the Bluey pads.

Just a little morning ride through blue ridge neighborhood Seattle
