@@Red1676 is that not what happened for skateboarding and then electric skateboarding? then again for freeboards and electric. Not arguing at all that aaron did not rip off the bindings shamelessly and other details. Only that that is exactly what happened with skateboarding and nobody cares. Freebord mfg does not care about the electric boards, those people left when the company went under.

I think the fastest forced maintenance would be changing the tire, which happens anywhere from 800-2500 miles, depending on your tire pressure and the tire’s softness. And the stock GT tire has been seen lasting until around 7,000 miles!🤯

I just learned summerboard and it is really fun. I think the key to learning it is to ride it like a ripstik, balancing on the center wheels. Once you get used to that, the other skills like turning and sliding become much easier. It’s expensive but if you want an electric snowboard that you can ride anywhere, this is it. If you want a lower cost version , check out freebord which rides similarly but has no motor so you need to ride it downhill.

@crashalarm3283
@crashalarm3283 3 жыл бұрын
A snowboard I bought a year old model board, bindings, and boots once since I finished growing at a swap meet for over half off. I buy a season pass in advance, since there’s no guarantee of good snow. I pay $300 for an unlimited early bird pass. Me and the homies rent a motel room for $30 a night, like $6 a person. Gas isn’t too bad either since I live close enough like 2 hours with traffic from my home resort. There’s also shuttles that run every weekend from my city. So snow sports don’t have to be cost prohibitive if you really budget it out and want to do it!

Agreed, the Onewheel XR is the best in terms of versatility. You can go on gravel, packed sand, grass, etc...

The idea of catching a edge on not snow but cement sounds incredibly harsh.

You could tie in the caster system to determine which side needs to be raised, when and how much.

@@Ghostyfrost9688 I want to believe that its that simple in practice but then when you watch most of the guys actually riding these kind of boards you see them switching over to helmets - even motocross helmets. I have to think that the front edge is still something important to solve to those guys.

I was hoping to see someone actually carving smooth, arcing turns. I saw plenty of stiff-legged, slightly sketchy scarving. They were sort of just hanging on for the ride. I want to be able to compress my legs and DRIVE the board into the turns then get weightless in between them. There's no power transmitted down through the legs into the edge, or wheels, and far less control when scarving. On the other hand well executed carved turns engage the whole body in the turn. There's not much flow state with scarving, at least from my experience. Then again who am I to say what's fun. If someone likes to twirl and drift around slideways, more power to them.

If this tech could make its way to a popsicle deck…being able to ride or flow in those ways, but still pop tricks after locking into a normal riding stance, would actually be game changing for real, although the wheel setup as is wouldn’t work well, it would have to be like a whole new setup based on this idea. Wild for sure.

I guess what I really am looking for is being able to drift/carve flat ground while not loosing speed(which means it would have to be powered somehow because physics doesn’t allow friction with no reduction in speed).

I've skated for a long time, but I have never been on a snowboard. I have always heard that riding a skateboard and snowboarding were basically the same skillset, if you can ride one you can ride the other. This looks pretty next level, but I am still wondering if anyone can definitely confirm/deny the similarities between riding a skateboard or snowboard?

So I bought one of these right before Covid started and I live really close to the company. I payed for express shipping but they were having some supply chain issues getting batteries so my order was delayed. Almost two months later when Covid was ramping up my office let us telework so I went to visit my family in Florida for a few months while teleworking there. I called the company to change the shipping address on my order since it had still not been shipped and they told me they would have to cancel my original order and put me at the back of the line, even after paying for express shipping and waiting over two months at that point. I ended up having the board shipped to the original address and it showed up without the foothold pads that I had payed extra for as well. My experience with the customer service sucked and I didn’t get my full order but that was early 2020 and the board is still really cool. It’s really fun to ride when it clicks, but it’s very intimidating to learn. It is my first electric skateboard which I think made the learning harder, I am an experienced snowboarder though
