BMW StreetCarver Walkaround

[@kellyscars]

Thanks Marty, anytime. I'll be back home to Southern California in February when my deployment is over, and I'll make a new vid with the fully-blinged out (read: polished) trucks and swingarms, with the Razor Groundforce scooter wheels and oddball bearings that made adapting the new wheels possible.

[@kellyscars]

Stuffy, it doesn't get speed wobbles. Your axis of balance is based on your centerline with normal skateboard trucks. The SC has a propensity to carve, and all four tires stay planted in a curve.

[@kellyscars]

As opposed to making three word comments on KZbin? You have an opinion, I have a heartbeat. Life goes on.

[@himsayhimdo]

Hey Kelly, have you tried the Curfboard, which is kind of like the successor to this board? Also, do you still have this board? How is it holding up after 20 or so years?

[@kellyscars]

I have heard about the curfboard! It's very similar to the carver trucks! I have carvers on my 1989 Powell Peralta. I still have the Street Carver, it's been disassembled for a few years, but I actually I have someone at work who can weld aluminum who is currently repairing one of the swing arms because it developed a very tiny stress crack in it. I plan on cruising it around at the Car Shows I'm filming these days! I'll make a follow up video to it sometime soon.

[@himsayhimdo]

@@kellyscars yo thanks for the reply! I just recently got a Powell skull and sword reissue and put Carver trucks on it. I'm interested in curfboard because they seem really unique. Wish I could try them sometime before buying.

[@kellyscars]

I forward the issue to my camera guy and tech crew. We will use jam next time. Any preferences on flavor?

[@kellyscars]

I have ridden mine in a few bowls, but yes, it doesn't have the greatest ground clearance. I added larger wheels from the Razor GroundForce Drifter Go-Kart, and have gained about 10mm of ground clearance, so I don't grind on ramps and speedbumps like I used to... When I get back home in February, I'll post a video of the new wheels, and the polish job on the aluminum!

[@buzzshavinutts2349]

hey mr. doke you know a source for swing arms i gotta replace one w/ x's inside. i'll accept a later swingarm.

[@buzzshavinutts2349]

Yeah man i tried welding but it didn't hold, ive got to get a mold made and 3d print the new one.

[@meints05]

Is the street carver still available? Do you have pictures?

[@ЕленаБойко-и2я]

where can we buy wheels now?

[@martyfowler3072]

awesome vid and thanks for the feedback

[@tonchcvitan6154]

Hey Bro.... Just thought I would let you know I have 2 of these beauties... Got them before they sold out...Also got 2 sets of replacement wheels.. I am with you great board love it... lots of fun.... And they look really cool ...LOL

[@kellyscars]

Haha, kickass! Hang on to it. I'm barely able to ride mine now thanks to my messed up knee!

[@billymisfits]

would you say that the streetcarver, because of it's weight, is responsible for your knee? my pushing knee is also thrashed just from pushing on a regular board.

[@kellyscars]

Billy, without a doubt. I pushed this thing for a solid ten years, there was a time where I was matching mileage on my skateboard with my grandma's Buick. I have accelerated wear on my meniscus from pushing that thing!

[@buzzshavinutts2349]

whats up kel loved the info on your site. the bmw has such a unique feel to it, and the futurism is great in its look. gets shaky at high speed btw i got a series 1 board not a bad by @450 bux

[@firebourn]

I am thinking about getting one of these. At $500 I must ask, How much does it cost to maintain?

[@kellyscars]

firebourn getting one where?!

[@bluetorch13]

I saw one on craigslist, that why I searched youtube

[@kellyscars]

stabilizer links are about $39. Google-Fu "Kelly's Cars Streetcarver", and my site will pop up with all the information you need regarding parts that are still available...

[@Dev1nci]

Please post some downhill footage, first person and view-from-side.

[@kellyscars]

It doesn't get speed wobbles, it just wants to carve.

[@randycowles9858]

there are now Chinese knock offs if these design that are electric and the deck is made of carbon fiber. when I started googleing it there was nothing but hate for it on the forums...even though they had never ridden it. why?!? I think the design is sick! my main concern is getting parts, particularly the wheels.

[@kellyscars]

Email me pictures of it for my site (Google 'Kelly's Cars Streetcarver"), does it have an ID number on the deck?

[@kellyscars]

Get it welded. BMW doesn't repop anything any more...

[@9635william]

[@kellyscars]

They have been NLA for ten years now.

[@dimitrisstratis9648]

[@kellyscars]

Wow dude. Sorry to hear that life dealt you a bad hand, and you have a negative outlook on life and have to resort to profanity. Have a nice day!

[@tofu_RS]

fascinating... a skate board win an anti-roll bar >_

[@kellyscars]

Not a roll bar... It uses roll bar links...

[@thebaggins321]

There seems to be a problem with your video. It is made of jelly
