I’ve been using the leatt 5.0 shorts. Every time I’ve landed on them they’ve greatly reduced injury. I just crashed recently and fell more on the butt where it’s not protected. So I’m looking at different options that add full padding. I liked the “shinypro “ crash shorts on amazon but haven’t had any track time with them yet.

@ ok

Yeah probably somewhere around that when I filmed this.

The hubbas are one of the best deals in esk8. I’ve got a lot of miles on them and they’ve held up great. Multiple colors and they also take RIT dye really well too. I’m actually about to buy another set, he has his whole store at 20% off through October.

Prices may have changed, I’d recommend checking online. Have a great trip

Fox titan pro upper body.

We felt pretty safe but it’s the ocean, anything can happen. I wouldn’t do it with little kids though.

Hard to say, depends on use case. Both are fun, I prefer eskate

@@loganloganloganable zealot, more comfortable platform to stand on.

@@ELECTRIC-DNA cheaper too and a little bit longer, just not sold on the pink haha

@@djwardlowentertainment9098 I don’t think so but ya never know.

We stayed mostly in airbnbs. For hotels, usually la Quinta inn are dog friendly.

@@chipmon916 thanks. Tomiboi made some updates to the odashi deck so if you have a later model it might work without the extensions. Also depends on the tire size you choose. I needed to use extensions on both ends.

@@aikaumba1075 when we traveled there, yes. Worth doing some googling to be sure of it still being the same but I believe it is the same.

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.

@@ELECTRIC-DNAI heard the Meepo MLR is having problems with the hangers breaking causing crashes and some ESC issues. Do you think it is for a rider that weighs more than 180 lbs?

As far as I know none of the production units customers have purchased have shipped. So I wouldn’t worry too much about items breaking before the board is finalized.

@@ELECTRIC-DNA Do you think the Meepo MLR can handle a 215 lbs person riding it? I’m considering preordering but I’m concerned about my weight.

@@kevinjohnson7468 max weight is listed at 330lbs

No I don’t, I only had this board on loan.

Yep, I used to live in oside

This video made me want to try one. I know that one tide is all it takes.then it’s buy one

They really are something special. You gotta get on one at some point and give it a try. Thanks for watching

@@jeffmuir6994 that’s really great to hear, you described the board perfectly. Enjoy it 🤙

Why? (Looking into a high end board and truly curious) any recommend brands?

Thank you!

That’s awesome. Welcome to the best sport!

Couple videos on the channel about it. Overall it was a fun board for its time but I’d look to more updated options at this point.

@ELECTRIC-DNA I heard that before that those boards are outdated but the reviews say the boards are good. I'm in San Diego and miles boards are too so if I had issues with it I can drive to them and not wait for shipping. What do you recommend? I'm looking for $1g longboard with good specs and good customer service.

@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?

@geoffnavolt1970 never ridden one actually.

I think it’ll come down to the rider, the surface and the conditions. But overall I was impressed with the grip for sure. I might be testing them. I’ve ridden them already on the monsoon and can tell you they are extremely capable.

Very grippy tires! And super awesome to see the adapter making things easier to mount up everything

@@ELECTRIC-DNA yeah.really big thanks brotha, the comparison vs. The Bishop wheels was something I really wanted to know, tou should do the same test but using the meepo tubeless, a friend thinks it's got better control while om the slide, you can also use them on those hubs, thanks again. Brotha!

That’s awesome! I’ve also ridden the meepo tubeless tires and was impressed with them too. Really great to see all of this coming from MAD. 👏👏👏👏
