Impressively indepth review, thank you!

[@allennguyen3522]

I'm actually in the middle of prototyping a short board that has flex. Hoping to release it this summer!

[@haynbong]

Again WOW this Channel going blowup keep it up very Professional

[@themrsilverspoon]

little kick and some bigger wheels will do the trick. loving your videos

[@tbone1510]

honestly i like a board inbetween those sizes. my diy board is 36 in which is perfect for me even though i have size 14 ft😂

[@aestheticpov972]

Such a good channel.

[@rafa-borges]

This is so informative! Keep the good work, guys. You are getting a new subscriber! I'm a longboarder and I'm thinking about buying an electric one as my last-mile vehicle. Now that you have the Stealth and the Mini X, what about a revision of this video using the two new products? It would be very helpful!

I'm curious on your opinion of the new WowGo take on shortboards? 28" so skateboard size but has very minor kicktail just on the line of fully functional. One downside is it has no concave for that locked in feeling. I feel like if there was some way to DIY add some concave to it yourself it would be the perfect short board since specs wise it stands very highly.

I use a 27" penny board on the streets of Munich (Germany). It is not a skater-fiendly town and you always have to be on your toes for the upcoming step in the ramp to the curb which will send you flying. I think a longboard with large wheels and a flexible, long deck is the way to go on uneven surfaces. Only expert skateboarders should ride short boards on the street. Especially when they are electric short boards

[@DanielSOlmstead]

Great vid! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Acton Blink Qu4tro suspension system. Seems like it could integrated onto a short board pretty easily. Do you think it will work well?

[@pigtosheep6205]

Damn you make great content

[@jonezcoronezreal2402]

U guys this channels is amazing

[@slydogstroh]

Onewheel FTW tho

[@WinterSina]

How is the boosted in rain? Does it survive?

[@sashab510]

Skate metric, I live around the seattle washington area, do you guys think you could link me to some of your spicy spots? I'm looking for some new areas to try longboarding around and i would appreciate if you could send some spots my way. Thanks. -Ya Boi

[@james.5768]

Sooo I have a question... Basically short boards are a harsher ride with little to no flex in the deck... Why has nobody tried to put avenue (suspension) trucks on an electric short board yet? Surely some one has the know how and it would be a way better ride!!?? :) liking the info filled vids btw.

[@shilezi]

links to the shortboard diy parts please?

[@ericlee7117]

What trail is that?

[@sixxinct]

Why not both?

[@MrM389]

Mellow board, you can choose your own deck
