THE ULTIMATE BOOSTED BOARD ACCESSORY GUIDE

[@ShredLights]

Haters gonna hate!

[@bryanortery3772]

I think shredlights work great at night . I use them religiously. I'd still recommend adding as much lights and reflective gear to get the most visibility at night but they seem to do the job

[@dericksocal5487]

religiously?

[@chairboi2936]

Definitely gonna recommend looking into Imperial Motions line of reflective clothing and backpacks. They have some high quality shit at a PRETTY high price, ngl.

[@ceracen]

Who tf throws water on grip tape? That's how you can spot someone who's never actually skated before. Wet grip tape is a no no.

[@VenusandMaiku]

For guys that use longboards regardless of weather. they are going to get wet anyways. So purposefully putting water to clean it isn’t going to change much. If anything, just apply new grip tape.

[@ceracen]

@@VenusandMaiku Yeah, you can apply new tape and it will get wet when riding if it recently rained or snowed, but purposefully soaking the tape is going to decrease the lifespan of the tape and the wood underneath significantly. I've just never seen anybody do that. Caught me off guard.

[@insanedb]

actually the grip can handle the water, but the board? omg so stupid kid

[@Sugarsurge7]

Boosted is 38inch and Mini is 29inch

[@7arsenal]

ShredLights look cool on my Boosted Board in my opinion. It’s true that it’s not the best thing to illuminate the road but it does make you more visible. I also like the fact that I don’t have to carry a flashlight in my hand.

[@hayman122]

Main thing with any e baord guys wear a helmet. No one cares how you look and you shouldent care about their opinions any how. Dozens of e baorders have gotten their heads cut open from hitting a bump or tunring sharply while going fast and even being knocked out from head to floor hit. Could even buy a used one for like 15bucks

[@pikapool1089]

Buying a used one is a horrible idea.

[@jinjasplay]

Pikapool agreed, but better than not using one

[@orlandomarinjr]

Besides the grip tape your BB looks almost like new. You take really good care of it. Great videos bro!

[@ColterRockwellM83]

My man, that water hurts my soul lol. Try using group tape cleaning gum? Maybe?

[@VenusandMaiku]

Honestly, it was designed to be abused with water. It’s IPX7 rated ffs. Why waste money on cleaning gum when water is free and more effective. Yeah bearing rust, but bearings are also insane cheap.

[@howiedune3099]

I have the shred lights and a flashlight. Best of both worlds. Also I'm proud of you, people think that you have a disability because of your face. Atta boy!

[@chrislee7982]

Very nice content. Helpful and informative for first timer like me. Cant wait to get my boosted mini s

[@VenusandMaiku]

Yeah buddy! I’m stoked for you! The mini s looks awesome!!

[@Aidan_Au]

Maiku, thank you for making videos. I like that you emphasize safety and wearing a hamlet. What other safety gears do you recommend? Pads? body guards?

[@ColterRockwellM83]

Gotta Wear them halmets 🙃

[@heatguy100]

100% agree about the shredlights..I bought them with high expectations..can’t see farther than 1-3 feet ahead of you. And when you’re going at full speed, that little amount of visibility is useless. How do you expect to react to something you only notice when it’s < 3 ft away?!

[@v16ke]

I bought shredlights and they failed on me plenty of times, the button stopped working, they would turn on and off on their own, and small shit like that which made it inoperable

[@king1ny]

that was stupid the guy riding his kid on a city street.....on a boosted,,

[@king1ny]

that was super stupid no helmet on the kid,anyway nice video otherwise...

[@speleoth]

Agreed. Dude is going to feel like a shit dad if he gets hit by a car.

[@IceBluePhoenix]

King1 Ny i

[@CarlLeo0015]

yes that was stupid i was thinking the same thing.

[@samsungmario9355]

At least have a helmet

[@ceo1284]

I live in Toronto too ::). I just got the new board.. its stealth and makes same sound when breaking.. i think its just normal..

[@VenusandMaiku]

Actually it means the belts are too loose.

[@ceo1284]

@@VenusandMaiku ahhh... I don't know how to tighten them lol.. i'll KZbin..

[@jacobtran4010]

bruh get to the point.

[@junebug9594]

Thanks for the romp belts

[@asdfdfggfd]

Woah, that for shadowing at beginning of episode.

[@neville411]

Can’t beat Boosted battery in winter now my Evolve sucks ass in cold

[@themask3901]

My boosted board manual said to avoid all moisture. It's a 2. You're not afraid of shorting out?

[@VenusandMaiku]

It’s been over a year and I’ve rode through snow, salt, rain. All over the globe. Yeah I’m pretty sure It’s fine. Just don’t dunk the board in water and clean your bearing once and a while and you are good.

[@keithwelker6956]

Nice apartment 👍

[@thekingofpotatoes1932]

Nice video!

[@jesse-dg8yx]

5:59 ahh theres an elephant in the road!!

[@adamlegend8392]

How do you pack the board with or without battery? Battery in hand luggage? The battery rules confuse me..

[@illfigurethisoutlatera9197]

Adam Legend the standard range battery is 99 watt hours so it just barely fits into carry on territory. The extended range on the other hand is 267 watt hours so you cant take it with you on the plane, but i’ve heard of people taking off the battery and shipping it through the mail to their destination and putting it back together later. Seems like a big hassle though.

[@xvaldez3284]

Yea I don't see all the hype for shredlights. Mediocre lumen output and they're pretty overpriced. Honestly sounds like people simping over them. With how many people in these hobbies tend to have technical skills like 3d printing I'm surprised no ones been making an alternative. I mean instead of buying some crappy little underglow for like $40+ just buy a $5 usb LED strip from wally world and use an old battery bank to power it. Way brighter and still rechargeable

[@VenusandMaiku]

I’m surprised they still exist. Boosted died as a company so many years ago

[@BurtonBao]

RIP motor shaft

[@thelightspeed3d712]

You need to bring another pair of shoes... so you can kick push that shit home! The best Boosted accessory? A Evolve GTX Longboard

[@VenusandMaiku]

Shit you are right. I’ve been meaning to get a pair of vans.

[@orlandomarinjr]

Haha true. I have both the Boosted and the GTX Bamboo. I ride the GTX every single day it kills. I do love my Boosted though especially with the extended but I'm hating the higher feel cause of the risers. Evolve just rocks man. I do like 2 hour rides on one charge.

[@williamwestonn]

Cleaning with water will destroy the lifespan of the wood. It will soak the wood and make internal cracks. A rule for longboard is, If you find a crack. Throw away the board and get a new one. I cleaned ny first board like this and it held up for some years. but then it cracked so... They are often coated to protect from water but that will go away after a while. Cleaning is done with toothbrush or a thick brush. A sandpaper cleaner, griptape rubber or a eraser. And give it time. If you cant get it of. Just accept your griptape is rused and get is as cleaned as possible. Replace it with it starts to wear.

[@VenusandMaiku]

This actually happened to me early on. Contact Boosted if this does occur. They will replace the deck for free even after warranty.

[@williamwestonn]

@@VenusandMaiku that you got a crack or waterdamage? :)

[@VenusandMaiku]

Not from water damage, there were just a few boards earlier on which we’re poorly constructed. This was back then before I had 1000km on the board. They’ve moved on from Bamboo to a more polymer board now to address this. However it was pretty common for loaded Boosted boards to crack.

[@notj5712]

Airplane safe bag. Useless since your board isn't allowed on. (Or do you have a sub 100 battery for when you're traveling?

[@VenusandMaiku]

The standard range battery is 99wh. It’s allowed on planes. In fact I’ve traveled with my board internationally all over Europe and Americas without anyone questioning me.

[@sparta7660]

Shred lights are great. What the fuck you talking about? Granted not the best to light your path but it sure does allow cars to see you at night. They also look cool.

[@VenusandMaiku]

I just think there are way more effective and cheaper ways to achieve the end objective. The angle of the lights from 2 inches off the ground at 80lumens won't help detect potholes going at pro speed. Where a tactical flashlight with 350 lumens will let you see the potholes going at pro speed. And no the solution isn't to slow down. It's to get more effective solutions. In my opinion, Electric Longboards are cool. However, adding lights which don't work very well to look cool is try-hard cringe territory. But you do you.

[@Socman86]

FYI it’s super illegal to check a boosted board with the batteries attached. Any type of battery must be carried on on plane and packed properly

[@VenusandMaiku]

You can take the mini s with the battery attached as carry on luggage.

[@thomasjepsen6750]

I'm to broke for a boosted board so i'm getting a backfire 2 instead ill use most of these tips

[@seanle3400]

different wheels on the mini i believe

[@VenusandMaiku]

mini has 80mm wheels! Different because they are boosted branded wheels. Probably feel more or less the same as V2 Dual. I can't wait to try the new 85mm wheels which are apparently compatible with the v2.

[@sebastiancaceres6974]

Can someone link the travel bag???

[@nathan-ls8yw]

Sebastian Caceres here(www.amazon.com/Hubro-Designs-BrdBag-Boosted-shoulder/dp/B079DX12DF) may not be the same one, hope this helps

[@vom8088]

The teeth on the wheels are worn. It’s not grabbing the belt.

[@neville411]

That sound is that your wack bro it’s wet lol

[@notj5712]

Put the red light on your HELMET, not your belt or backpack.

[@CScottGoldMasterGamer]

I need waterproof pants...

[@JonathanVaucher]

2500 $ Canadian ????? Since when is the exchange rate from US to CAD so shitty. Somebody is making a big cut here... I`d buy in US currency.

[@VenusandMaiku]

Haha it’s been shitty for a while now. Check out the prices for Apple computers in Canada. It jumped 35% from the US price. It kinda sucks

[@JonathanVaucher]

Yeah but 1500 USD is supposed to be 1965 CAD, not 2500 !!! What a ripoff. I bought a chinese WowGo 2S instead. 2500$ in Canada is non-sense period.

[@rofiqel6226]

Yo Maiku, I just found ur channel and FINALLY someone in Toronto. I'm in Toronto, and I was thinking of getting a Boosted Board v2 and I know its fine in NY, but is this even legal in Toronto? I swear it's TECHNICALLY not allowed? You ever have any problems with the cops riding this around downtown Toronto? Thanks

[@VenusandMaiku]

Good news buddy! In the province of Ontario, skateboards & longboards cannot be considered as a vehicle in the Ontario Highway Act. Which means it's 100% legal to use in Ontario. Now there are bylaws in Toronto that say you are not allowed to use things on the roadways, but it's extremely rarely enforced. It's the same by-law that bans road hockey. Toronto and York region police also know there are no laws against using longboards for travel. The only thing to watch is the speed limit on bikelanes. It's 20km/h. But extremely rarely enforced. Stoked to see more people in Toronto with boards. Cheers buddy!

[@rofiqel6226]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Maybe I'll see you riding one day haha. All the best

[@bellesbae]

Aren't there airline restrictions for the battery size?

[@VenusandMaiku]

The airline restriction is 100wh. Boosted Standard Battery is 99wh. Boosted Extended Battery is 269wh.

[@nathan-ls8yw]

also depends on which airlines you are flying with, here in singapore our airlines makes it difficult to bring items like boosted boards onto the plane

[@howiedune3099]

Super cute and super dangerous. Let's not forget super stupid.

[@edelgado1]

Not cool. Kid with no helmet in the street.. Seems like dad doesn't care I would pass by and tell him to wear a helmet. But that's just me...

[@CarlLeo0015]

dude that was not cute that was dangerous AF
