@ELECTRIC-DNAАй бұрын
I rode the early model of the MLR in the Phoenix expo races. I think it’s going to be a great entry board for racing. Will have to wait and see how the final production boards are before I can really give a full opinion on it but overall it rides like a lower powered stooge board.

Thank you for doing this review. I ended up buying this actual board I.e. the V1 ‘Demo’ board. As you say, the build quality is exceptional and the board is super responsive with smooth power delivery and braking. Joshua from ION DRIVE was fantastic to deal with, organising shipment to Australia and providing after sales service in helping me set up the BMS app etc. I couldn’t recommend this board enough if you are seeking a fun board to carve the streets or commute to work. The limited production run also makes these boards unique, which I personally think is pretty cool. Happy to respond if anyone has any questions. Cheers, Jeff

@ELECTRIC-DNA I heard that before that those boards are outdated but the reviews say the boards are good.

I'm looking for $1g longboard with good specs and good customer service.
@ELECTRIC-DNA2 ай бұрын
@geoffnavolt1970 there are so many different options and variables with boards it’s difficult to recommend without knowing more information This is my approach when recommending or deciding on a board. 1, what’s the use? Commuter, off road, fun rides, grocery getter etc. This is the most important step in my opinion and will guide all of the other decisions. If you pick a specific goal or set of goals for the board you’ll end up with a good fit, requiring hopefully minimum changes. 2, what type of wheels/tires do you want. Pneumatic vs street. 3, what types of trucks? DKP, RKP, TKP, Channel, 3links 4, keeping your size and terrain in mind, what kind of range do you want without charging? 5, what kind of speeds do you want to ride as your fastest, then add a little. So if you want to be able to do 30mph occasionally it’s good to get a board that’s capable of say 35mph imo. Think of it like maxing out a 4cyl vs middle of the power band in a V8. Answering those 5 questions after some research will get you closer to picking out a few boards I’m sure. Then you narrow down those based on price, customer service, etc. If the price is too high for what you initially set out for, you begin to make some changes/compromises. But you can decide if you want to lose a little range or speed etc to lower the price.

@ELECTRIC-DNA I made up my mind for 2 boards. Sex panther or the evolve gtr carbon street. Gtr has 3000w per wheel but it goes little slower than sex panther with 1500w per wheel. Wonder why? How do you like the gtr over sex panther?

wow growing up in South Florida seems to have prepped me for a trip to Thailand. Hot, humid, wash your own clothes, hang them to dry, cant buy beer on sundays or after 2 am, or 4 am, or at all depending on the city. Italian food in the US is not Italian food in Italy so I totally expect Thai food to be totally different. So far the dishes the Thai women have shown me online look nothing like what is served in the US. Dont wear shoes in my house so that's an easy one. Wondering about the piping if they laid it with cast iron and thats the real issue. Toilet paper falls apart like crazy once its wet so it being too big, in a 1 wide pipe shouldn't be an issue. Getting caught on broken pipes yeah I can see it adding up. Fixed those issues a few times. Gross.

Would you just have binding in front or back/front so to jump high and safety? Or for cruising around, no binding at all so you could move, dance and so on this board? Wish they had a binding that you could take on and off, adjustable side to side, back and front and angles. I'm sure it will be made and I'm thinking this must be a great idea, just to click it on and adjust? Take this with you and see/hear if someone would go for this idea. Could be used on any boards and it would be a hit. If you take this idea and it becomes real, you sure will get money in your pocket bro😊👌👍. I don't know companies, brands, people who makes since I live in North-Norway, Tromsø, lol. Anyway, hope someone will do this, and I'm sure it will happen sooner or later. Take care

I’d love to see something like that. I prefer a binding in racing and even use one on my regular street board (named venom that’s also on this channel). I’d you haven’t seen the bindings by tomiboi esk8 , look them up. They provide great leverage but are also very easy to come out of in a fall.

@ELECTRIC-DNA2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. Using 3links with angled decks is doable but gets tricky with fitment. You’ll need to do some solid research to figure all of it out. If you’re after just adding more stability you may want to look at adding a wedged riser in the rear, reducing the truck angle.

Yes, I noticed HeathLewis had a make shift wedged riser on his board as he maintains the highest speeds out there if not the world record Lol Does anyone know where one can buy a wedged riser? or do you think buying new trucks with built in angled plates like Randall, Bear, etc is better than hypertrucks?
