Great video! It opens with a good closeup of the Pantheon and off we go! A lady on an e-scooter is seen but we all know who has the coolest wheels 👍

[@bartek...]

She is my neighbor xD

[@ljbeats00]

great video

[@lizhongda]

Noticed that you are foot braking on mongo and pushing switched now, nice progress my friend 👍. I’m still working on pushing mongo

[@bartek...]

I'm slowly learning to push switch. Breaking on mongo is iffy.

[@stuvlog]

Lovely looking board my friend! Is it a Pantheon? Can’t wait to get out here once the weather picks up again.

[@bartek...]

Yes, it is Pantheon Trip

[@stuvlog]

@@bartek... love it!

[@warlockboyburns]

Sometimes I like to push on my electric skateboard it feels more natural than biking doesn't wear me out.

[@bartek...]

How do you break? Witch engine?

[@warlockboyburns]

@@bartek... of course

[@rundmk00]

nice skating man, what bearings are you using? i've been on a skateboard for 24 years i might not know longboard bearings

[@bartek...]

Ceramic zealous, those cheaper ones.

[@rundmk00]

@@bartek... ohh ceramic very nice, no wonder you were doing 50km/h+ !

[@oceannuclear]

I wanna see you skitch!

[@bartek...]

I'm too old for that, not doing it anymore

[@suntoryjim]

Do you ride split-angle Calibers?

[@bartek...]

yeah!!!!

[@dominoot2652]

no better feeling than passing cars on some form of micromobility

[@bartek...]

Totally 💯😁

[@Mikovv]

Hi Bartek, are you using 88 Wheel Co McFly on this setup?

[@bartek...]

Yeah, I've recently switched from Speed Vents

[@Mikovv]

@@bartek... how would you compare them? Which ones seem to be more fast?

[@bartek...]

@@Mikovv Speed Vents are better for speed. McFly's are more 'plushy' or 'gummy'. You can feel how they slow you down. However they are more fun. They can slide, and they can roll over everything. For competition I would choose Speed Vents, for everyday fun McFly's

[@Mikovv]

@@bartek... Thanks a lot for the detailed comparison 🙏Have you had a chance to use Pantheon Karma wheels or not?

[@bartek...]

@@Mikovv I hadn't

[@warlockboyburns]

your left leg is going to be very strong

[@bartek...]

Thanks

[@noeonoohno4219]

it doesn't make sense to longboard on flat ground in a city when having a tail or having your feet over the wheels would make you have so much more control. i don't see why people longboard in cities when cruisers or powell-peralty old school style boards exist. just weird to me.

[@bartek...]

@@noeonoohno4219 I get your point and you right about manuvaberality, but it's more about energy efficiency and higher speed. On dinghy I'm done after 10km and I'm doing it at the same time as 20km on drop-thru. O bigger Tasseract its better but its high deck and heavier construction makes me tired quicker.

yesterday i was wondering when your next video was gonna be and here it is today :D

@@bartek... haha hopefully it didn't sound like i was rushing ya! Take the time you need! I do appreciate these uploads, they actually convinced me to get the Pantheon Trip and I'm getting mine in a few days :D

[@bartek...]

@@nicolenieves389 Nah, not at all!!! I got that last week, just hadn't time to render and upload on the weekend. I Should stack pile of videos ready to publish more regularly.

[@loganmcvicious1002]

awesomeness in motion, as usual. keep up the good riding! stay safe!

[@bartek...]

Thanks

[@iNotsuoh]

What bushings do you use? I'm 100kg and have been thinking of getting some 94a. thoughts?

[@bartek...]

Yeah go with hard bushings. ATM I'm using a stock caliber, idk what they give with tracks but it fits me

[@alvaromoreno883]

[@bartek...]

Bartku bardzo lubię oglądać Twoje filmy, gdyż sam jestem w pewnym stopniu zapaleńcem deskorolkowym. Jeżdżę na codzień po Warszawie po 17km dziennie (8,5km w jedną stronę) do i z pracy. Raz w weekend zrobilem dluzszą trasę 50 kilometrów ze średnią 12km/h. Na filmie widać , że szybko jezdzisz i ciekawi mnie jakie srednie predkosci osiagasz na swojej deskorolce (w moim przypadku jest to zakres od 12-14km/h)? Pozdrawiam Ciebie serdecznie z Polski💪

[@bartek...]

Podobnie. Przy krótkich dystansach (30min) jestem w stanie utrzymać 17km/h średnia ale zazwyczaj jest to poniżej 15km/h. www.strava.com/activities/10830700409
